BC protea-Self-evolving life agent
Self-evolving artificial life agent. Three-ring architecture: Ring 0 (Sentinel) supervises, Ring 1 (Intelligence) drives LLM-powered evolution, Ring 2 (Evolvable Code) is the living program that self-restructures, self-reproduces, and self-evolves. Supports Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Qwen as LLM providers. Includes fitness scoring, gene pool inheritance, tiered memory, skill crystallization, Telegram bot, and web dashboard.
As a process C 54/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, when it triggers, consistency
How to improve
- Say in the description WHEN to use the skill ("use when…", example requests): that is the agent's main cue.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens) - warning
description-no-whendescription does not say WHEN to use the skill (no "use when")
Process rating: all ten parameters 54/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (protea-Self-evolving life agent) differs from the folder (protea-self-evolving-life-agent)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (python) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Steps. 15 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 397 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
