evolving-ai-agents SKILL.md skillA
evolving-ai-agents from yichen-zju/claude-for-research is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/evolving-ai-agents@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Provides guidance for automatically evolving and optimizing AI agents across any domain using LLM-driven evolution algorithms. Use when building self-improving agents, optimizing agent prompts and skills against benchmarks, or implementing automated agent evaluation loops.
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
# Evolving AI Agents with A-Evolve ## Overview A-Evolve is universal infrastructure for evolving any AI agent across any domain using any evolution algorithm with zero manual engineering. It represents all evolvable agent state as files (prompts, skills, memory, tools), runs iterative solve-observe-evolve cycles against benchmarks, and uses LLM-driven mutation to improve agent performance automatically. **Benchmark results** (Claude Opus 4.6): - MCP-Atlas: 79.4% (#1) - SWE-bench Verified: 76.8% (~#5) - Terminal-Bench 2.0: 76.5% (~#7) - SkillsBench: 34.9% (#2) ## When to Use A-Evolve **Use A-Evolve when:** - Optimizing agent prompts, skills, or memory against a measurable benchmark - Building self-improving agents with automated gating and rollback - Evolving domain-specific tool usage and procedures through LLM-driven mutation - Running iterative solve-observe-evolve loops to maximize agent performance - Needing reproducible, git-versioned evolution history for every change **Key differentiator**: Other frameworks _build_ agents; A-Evolve _optimizes_ them. It sits on top of any agent framework and makes it better through automated evolution. **Do NOT use A-Evolve for:** …

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/evolving-ai-agents@sha256:6477f6efbbf3541cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
