Audit one part of the code and rank what to improve. Changes nothing. Use when the user asks "is this outdated" or "how could X be better".
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 Propose upgrades; **never apply them in the same run**. The output is a ranked list the user picks from. ## Scope One area per run (UI, data layer, auth, testing, caching, one flow). Asked to evolve "everything": ask which area first. ## Process 1. **Baseline.** Read the project's own rules for that area (AGENTS.md, a design doc, an ADR) and the actual code. The current way is intentional: an upgrade has to beat it, not just differ. 2. **Current practice.** Check the docs of the versions actually installed (your training data may be older than the code), and the codebase's own newest screens: often the best idea already exists in one place and should spread. 3. **Disqualify** anything that breaks a hard rule of the project. Breaking an invariant isn't an upgrade. ## Output: always this table, ranked by value for cost | # | Upgrade | Benefit | Cost (S/M/L) | Risk | Files touched | |---|---|---|---|---|---| Under it, at most three sentences per row: what changes, why it beats the current way, what could break. End with your recommended pick and what you'd do first once it's approved. ## After approval (a separate run) …

How to install
mdr add tonygorb/skills/evolve@sha256:78941870afbb1dd1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.bc9e437, 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.
