Self-Improvement Skill

Goal

"The software that writes itself."

Steps

1. Evolutionary Prompts (The Genome)

Treat the system_prompt and skill.md files as DNA.

• Genes: Individual instructions (e.g., "Always use TDD").
• Phenotype: The agent's actual behavior in a session.
• Fitness Function: Did the user accept the code? Did the tests pass?

2. The Mutation Cycle

When the agent encounters a novel failure or success:

1. Selection: Identify the "Gene" (Prompt Instruction) responsible.
2. Mutation: Rewrite the instruction.
   • Example: Change "Write clean code" -> "Write clean code adhering to AIRBNB style guiding."
3. Crossover: Combine two successful skills into a new hybrid skill.
