Evolve Agent
Skill Verified ActiveEvolve an existing agent definition by refining its persona in-place or creating an advanced variant. Covers assessing the current agent against best practices, gathering evolution requirements, choosing scope (refinement vs. variant), applying changes to skills, tools, capabilities, and limitations, updating version metadata, and synchronizing the registry and cross-references. Use when an agent's skills list is outdated, user feedback reveals capability gaps, tool requirements have changed, an advanced variant is needed alongside the original, or the agent's scope needs sharpening after real-world use.
To provide a structured and reliable process for maintaining and improving AI agent definitions, ensuring they remain up-to-date and aligned with best practices.
