2026-01-23 - Roll out self-evolutionary upgrade protocols

Timeline

• (Context) Continued GenesisPrime + tool-agent evolution work, focusing on standardizing self-improvement behavior.
• (Action) Rolled out self-evolutionary upgrade protocols across Genesis agents and templates.
• (Action) Added Genesis agent protocol files to each Genesis-style agent folder.
• (Action) Updated each agent’s init protocol to load the capability and include a session-close self-evolution prompt.
• (Action) Updated each agent’s core identity to include “Self-Evolutionary Upgrade Protocols (Core Essential)”.
• (Action) Updated agent_protocols templates and builder-prompt.md so future agents include the standard by default.
• (Observation) Verified the new capability files exist across all targeted agents and confirmed references via grep.
• (Open Thread) Non-Genesis folders under 00_agents_development may need a separate standardization pass or explicit exclusion policy.

Context

• Continued GenesisPrime and agent ecosystem evolution to make self-updating behavior a core identity component.
• Targeted all existing Genesis-style agents under Genesis agent protocol files.

Actions

• Rolled out self-evolutionary upgrade protocols across Genesis agents and templates.
• Created Genesis agent protocol files for: BigFatDevToolOperator, FlowCheck, KitLaunch, SoloSweep, SweepLead, The_Naive_User, GenesisPrime.
• Updated each agent’s *-init.md to load the new capability and add a “Session Close (Self-Evolution)” block with the mandatory question.
• Updated each agent’s core-identity.md to include a “Self-Evolutionary Upgrade Protocols (Core Essential)” section.
• Updated core modules, helper scripts, and supporting docs to require the self-evolution standard for future agents.
• Updated the session plan (Genesis agent protocol files) to reflect rollout completion.

Observations

• The self-evolution standard is now consistent across targeted Genesis agents: capability file exists, init loads it, and core identity references it.
• The agent creation templates now enforce the pattern, reducing drift for future agent scaffolds.

Open Threads

• Decide how to handle non-Genesis agent folders (e.g., project_flow_analysis_agent, workflow_overseer, social_engagement_agents): migrate them to Genesis structure, leave as-is, or create a separate standard.
• Consider whether each agent’s design-spec.md should be updated to explicitly list the new capability file (to avoid future mismatch between spec and reality).
• Resume BigFatDevToolOperator’s next operational step: verify Yellow tool candidates and promote registry entries (Green/Red) with run commands and risks.

Boundary Reminder: Seeds. No maintenance. No roadmap.
