Use when the user wants to evolve an ML model/program through population-based search rather than a single sequential refine loop — a generational evolution where parallel proposers each apply one small SEARCH/REPLACE diff to a parent, scored by a cascade-evaluated training run, and children are kept in a MAP-Elites archive across islands (with migration + checkpointing) so diverse high performers survive. A finite, bounded-parallelism re-creation of AlphaEvolve/OpenEvolve, bent for ML autorese…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alpha-evolve' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alpha-evolve' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alpha-evolve already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/gaasher/Agent-Loop-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f1169e6db0b0f8a83ced3a18562b7c57e14a748a' -- 'loops/alpha-evolve' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'loops/alpha-evolve' ~/.agents/skills/'alpha-evolve' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'alpha-evolve' ~/.claude/skills/'alpha-evolve' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
