agentdescent SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

agentdescent from thinkflowlab/agentdescent is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Improve a SKILL.md, agent definition, system prompt, small codebase or host plugin by measuring it against examples and evolving it, rather than rewriting it by hand and hoping. Use whenever the user asks to improve, fix, tune, optimise, "train" or get better results out of one of those -- including when they have no test cases yet, because drafting cases for them to check is step one of the procedure, not a prerequisite for it. AgentDescent runs the edits in parallel and keeps only those that…

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

# AgentDescent

You have tools (MCP server `agentdescent`) or, without MCP, the `agentdescent`
command with the same verbs. A run is an evolution: N workers propose edits in
parallel, a merger keeps the ones that improve held-out reward, and nothing is
written back until the user says so.

**Path A only by default.** The MCP server exposes doctor → plan → start →
status/show → apply (plus cancel/resume, diagnose, list/describe/algorithm_spec).
Do not reach for audit_*, release, platform, experience, or other satellites
unless the user asked and the server was started with `--advanced` /
`AGENTDESCENT_MCP_ADVANCED=1`. See docs/mcp-path-a.md.

## The procedure

1. **`doctor` first.** Report what is missing (worker agent CLI, provider key,
   container engine). Stop if there is no worker agent for a directory kind.
   It also reports the AgentDescent `version` and the interpreter
   (`executable`) this server runs. When results differ from the user's shell
   (a verb missing, a different key set), compare it with `agentdescent doctor`
   there: your host may have started a different install.
2. **Establish the four things a spec needs**: `target`, `data`, `score`, `agent`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thinkflowlab/agentdescent/agentdescent@sha256:a98a0ddf4ae907d3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.e56078d, 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.
