unikit-evolve SKILL.md skillA

unikit-evolve from nintendadev/unikit-ai is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nintendadev/unikit-ai/unikit-evolve@v2.1

Pins v2.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Learn project rules from accumulated fix patches in .unikit/code/patches/. Analyzes past mistakes, extracts prevention points, classifies each as a coding rule (→ RULES.md) or a per-skill workflow rule (→ skill-context), and proposes them for approval. Use when the user wants to turn past fixes into rules — "evolve", "evolve the rules", "learn from past mistakes", "learn from the fixes", "analyze the patches", "what rules should we add from recent fixes". Best run after several /unikit-fix…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Evolve — Rules Discovery from Patches

Analyze accumulated patches (past mistakes) and propose new rules: coding rules → `.unikit/RULES.md`, workflow rules → `.unikit/skill-context/<skill>/SKILL.md`.

**User questions.** Right before your first question to the user, not earlier, read `.unikit/system/user-questions.md` once and ask every question as it says, with the question tool of your agent (`AskUserQuestion`). If the file cannot be read, print `WARN [questions] user-questions contract missing — asking with the question tool` and still ask with that tool, the recommended option first.

## Core Idea

```
patches (past mistakes)
    |
extract prevention points (concrete, actionable rules)
    |
classify: coding rule vs workflow rule
    |
cross-check against existing rules (RULES.md + knowledge base + skill-context)
    |
present uncovered candidates to user
    |
user picks → coding rules to RULES.md, workflow rules to skill-context
```

**Two rule destinations:**
- **RULES.md** — coding conventions: HOW to write code (patterns, naming, null-checks, async, serialization). These reach `unikit-execute` via RULES.md → `/unikit-memory` → memory/.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nintendadev/unikit-ai/unikit-evolve@sha256:1bbb34f52ba4dfd6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
