 "title": "Evolve an agent's skills from its own task traces",
 "page_title": "How to evolve an agent's skills from its own task traces with Wikiskill",
 "summary": "Run the full WikiSkill loop so the agent distills failures into a wiki and gates skill changes.",
 "who": "A developer whose coding agent repeatedly fails the same kinds of tasks and who wants its skills improved without rewriting them by hand.",
 "problem": "Agent lessons usually disappear when a session ends, and skill edits made by hand are hard to verify.",
 "outcome": "A workspace with a persistent wiki of pattern pages and a skill set where each kept change beat the best validation score so far.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pip install wikiskill` to install the package from PyPI.",
  "Run `wikiskill init demo` to create the workspace and the 22-task demo bench (13 train, 9 validation).",
  "Run `wikiskill status` to see the baseline scores, skills, wiki and history.",
  "Run `wikiskill evolve --iters 3` to start the full Algorithm 1 loop with your default model.",
  "Open `workspaces/demo/wiki/` and read `index.md` and `skill-impact.md` to see what was learned and which proposals were rejected."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the ashutoshsinghpr7/wikiskill repo to create a demo workspace with `wikiskill init demo`, then run `wikiskill evolve --iters 3`. Report the baseline score from `wikiskill status` and whether each proposal was kept or rolled back. Verify that the wiki folder still contains its pattern pages after the run.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README reports that the demo runs are on a small bundled bench, so gains on your own agent may differ.",

 "tags": [
  "Software and DevOps"

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.10 or newer",
  "Hermes Agent installed as the reference backend, or another supported agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex or GitHub Copilot CLI)",
  "A configured default model for the agent, for example through OpenRouter using --model and --provider",
  "Enough API budget for several iterations (the README cites about $0.09 per iteration on one free-tier run)"
