Diverse Island Genetic Algorithm skill. USE WHEN the user explicitly requests Diverse Island GA / diversity-oriented island GA, or wants specialized island roles with adaptive migration and novelty preservation instead of a uniform island GA.
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
# Diverse Island GA Skill > **Reference**: LLM4AD_Next specialized island model. Extends IslandGA with **specialized island roles** (a continuous exploitation↔exploration spectrum), **adaptive stagnation-aware migration**, and **novelty preservation**. ## 1. Method Essence Diverse IslandGA builds on the classic island model but removes the assumption that all islands are identical. Instead, it assigns each island a **continuous strategy position** along the exploration↔exploitation spectrum, and coordinates them through **adaptive migration** that fires only when an island stagnates. This keeps the population diverse and avoids the premature spread of a local optimum. Core mechanisms: | Concept | Role | |---|---| | **Island strategy spectrum** | `island_strategy_strength` controls how much islands differ (experience-reuse → novelty exploration) | | **Adaptive migration** | `adaptive_migration` receives migrants only after an island stagnates | | **Stagnation threshold** | `migration_stagnation_threshold` consecutive non-improving generations before migration is allowed | …

How to install
mdr add optima-cityu/llm4ad_next/diverse-island-ga@sha256:5b5d820eea6d2d41The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.f40b41b, 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.
