Who it is forA developer who already uses Claude Code and wants the same evolution loop on that agent instead of Hermes.
The problemTeams that standardize on Claude Code want skill evolution in the tool they already use, not a second agent stack.
The outcomeA workspace pinned to the claude backend, with evolution runs using Claude Code and an isolated CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
What you need first
- 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)
Steps
- Run
pip install wikiskillto install the package. - Run
claude auth loginonce to sign in to Claude Code. - Run
wikiskill init demo --backend claudeto create a workspace pinned to Claude Code. - Run
wikiskill evolve --iters 3to run the loop on the pinned backend. - Run
wikiskill statusto confirm the scores and the backend used.
Prompt for your agent
Using the ashutoshsinghpr7/wikiskill repo, run `wikiskill init demo --backend claude`, then `wikiskill evolve --iters 2`. Report the baseline and final validation scores and the backend in workspaces/demo/workspace.json. Verify that the workspace file names the claude backend before the evolve run starts.
Caveat. The README says the claude backend needs `claude auth login` once, so the run will not start without a signed-in Claude Code install.
