active-inference SKILL.md skillA
active-inference from andreibesleaga/gabbe is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/active-inference@git:20261014.de0823cPins git:20261014.de0823c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Apply Active Inference to minimize prediction error (Surprise). Use when: active inference.
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
# Active Inference Skill > "Action is the process of changing the world to match your prediction." ## 1. The Concept (Free Energy Principle) Standard agents are goal-directed (maximize reward); **Active Inference** agents are surprise-minimizing (minimize prediction error). - **Goal:** not just to "win" but to understand and control. - **Surprise:** the gap between *expectation* and *observation*. > **Implementation note (conceptual framing, not implemented CLI math):** the production `gabbe/brain.py` uses epsilon-greedy gene selection plus a monotonic `success_rate` reward (effectively a bandit over prompt variants); the free-energy / active-inference framing here is conceptual, not implemented math. Use it to *shape agent instructions*, not as a literal solver — and never claim it "guarantees correctness." See `guides/ai/self-evolving-skills.md` for what actually runs. ## 2. The Feedback Loop 1. **Predict:** "Running `go test` will output PASS." 2. **Act/Sense:** run the command, read output. 3. **Compare:** compute prediction error — result "FAIL" → **Surprise!** ## 3. Solving the Error Two ways to minimize surprise: …

How to install
mdr add andreibesleaga/gabbe/active-inference@sha256:26026e4e0345c78bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.de0823c, 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.
