Evolve Command

Implementation

Run the instinct CLI using the plugin root path:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py" evolve [--generate]

Or if CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is not set (manual installation):

python3 skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py evolve [--generate]

Analyzes instincts and clusters related ones into higher-level structures:

• Commands: When instincts describe user-invoked actions
• Skills: When instincts describe auto-triggered behaviors
• Agents: When instincts describe complex, multi-step processes

Usage

/evolve                    # Analyze all instincts and suggest evolutions
/evolve --domain testing   # Only evolve instincts in testing domain
/evolve --dry-run          # Show what would be created without creating
/evolve --threshold 5      # Require 5+ related instincts to cluster

Evolution Rules

→ Command (User-Invoked)

When instincts describe actions a user would explicitly request:

• Multiple instincts about "when user asks to..."
• Instincts with triggers like "when creating a new X"
• Instincts that follow a repeatable sequence

Example:

• new-table-step1: "when adding a database table, create migration"
• new-table-step2: "when adding a database table, update schema"
• new-table-step3: "when adding a database table, regenerate types"

→ Creates: /new-table command

→ Skill (Auto-Triggered)

When instincts describe behaviors that should happen automatically:

• Pattern-matching triggers
• Error handling responses
• Code style enforcement

Example:

• prefer-functional: "when writing functions, prefer functional style"
• use-immutable: "when modifying state, use immutable patterns"
• avoid-classes: "when designing modules, avoid class-based design"

→ Creates: functional-patterns skill

→ Agent (Needs Depth/Isolation)

When instincts describe complex, multi-step processes that benefit from isolation:

• Debugging workflows
• Refactoring sequences
• Research tasks

Example:

• debug-step1: "when debugging, first check logs"
• debug-step2: "when debugging, isolate the failing component"
• debug-step3: "when debugging, create minimal reproduction"
• debug-step4: "when debugging, verify fix with test"

→ Creates: debugger agent

What to Do

1. Read all instincts from homunculus/instincts/
2. Group instincts by:
   • Domain similarity
   • Trigger pattern overlap
   • Action sequence relationship
3. For each cluster of 3+ related instincts:
   • Determine evolution type (command/skill/agent)
   • Generate the appropriate file
   • Save to homunculus/evolved/{commands,skills,agents}/
4. Link evolved structure back to source instincts

Output Format

🧬 Evolve Analysis
==================

Found 3 clusters ready for evolution:

## Cluster 1: Database Migration Workflow
Instincts: new-table-migration, update-schema, regenerate-types
Type: Command
Confidence: 85% (based on 12 observations)

Would create: /new-table command
Files:
  - homunculus/evolved/commands/new-table.md

## Cluster 2: Functional Code Style
Instincts: prefer-functional, use-immutable, avoid-classes, pure-functions
Type: Skill
Confidence: 78% (based on 8 observations)

Would create: functional-patterns skill
Files:
  - homunculus/evolved/skills/functional-patterns.md

## Cluster 3: Debugging Process
Instincts: debug-check-logs, debug-isolate, debug-reproduce, debug-verify
Type: Agent
Confidence: 72% (based on 6 observations)

Would create: debugger agent
Files:
  - homunculus/evolved/agents/debugger.md

---
Run `/evolve --execute` to create these files.

Flags

• --execute: Actually create the evolved structures (default is preview)
• --dry-run: Preview without creating
• --domain <name>: Only evolve instincts in specified domain
• --threshold <n>: Minimum instincts required to form cluster (default: 3)
• --type <command|skill|agent>: Only create specified type
