evolve skillA

evolve is agent-read markdown (skill) from sethgammon/citadel: Research-driven multi-cycle improvement director. Forms causal hypotheses about why scores are low, validates them with scout agents before attacking, dispatches axis-parallel fleet attacks, extracts transferable patterns, and runs indefinitely within a budget envelope. Accumulates a persistent belief model and pattern library across sessions..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/evolve@git:20260611.0f3f8e7
Exact content
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/evolve@sha256:c9d55a85bcd6c644

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
