Mine the CURRENT session for how the agent skills were actually used - friction hit, commands corrected, recipes discovered, docs found stale - distill only the SELECTIVE, generalizable improvements, apply them to the relevant SKILL.md / reference files in the skills repo, and ship via vd:ship. Conservative by design: high bar, evidence-backed, no scope creep. Use when the user says 'evolve the skills', 'skill-evolve', 'improve the skills from this session', 'capture what we learned into the…
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
# skill-evolve Close the loop between *using* skills and *improving* them: the friction you hit this session (a wrong command, a missing recipe, a stale doc) is the highest-signal feedback there is. Capture it **selectively** and ship it back into the skills repo - most sessions produce **0-2** real skill improvements, and a long list is a smell. Adjacent skills: `vd:rule-miner` (standing-behavior corrections → CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md rules), `vd:skill-management` (lifecycle ops), `vd:skill-creator` (new skill scaffold), memory (project/user facts). skill-evolve only edits the **content of existing skills** from *this session's* evidence. ## The three buckets (route every candidate before doing anything) 1. **Skill-content improvement** - a SKILL.md / reference is *wrong*, *incomplete*, or *missing a reusable recipe* you just proved out → **this skill**. 2. **Standing-behavior correction** - "the agent keeps doing X wrong across tasks" → **`vd:rule-miner`**. Do not write rules here. 3. **Project / task fact** - a brand name, this repo's layout, a one-off config → **memory**, never into a skill (skills are shared/public). …

How to install
mdr add vanducng/skills/skill-evolve@sha256:c87e49bd0378fcebThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, 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.
