🐧 Mupeng Evolve — The God-Tier Agent Evolution Engine

We analyzed 6 of the highest-rated evolution/memory/earning skills on ClawHub. Found critical flaws in every single one. Then we built something better.

---

🔍 Why This Exists

We installed and dissected these top skills:

Skill	Rating	Fatal Flaw
self-evolve	⭐⭐⭐⭐	🔴 Zero security. Agent can nuke its own SOUL.md. No guardrails.
capability-evolver	⭐⭐⭐⭐	🟡 Over-engineered. Requires separate Node.js runtime + env vars.
elite-longterm-memory	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	🔴 Requires LanceDB + OpenAI API key. $50+/month just for memory.
agent-earner	⭐⭐⭐⭐	🔴 US-only platforms. USDC/crypto dependency. Unusable outside US.
agent-doppelganger	⭐⭐⭐⭐	🟡 Complex DSL policy language. Over-abstracted for real use.
aura	⭐⭐⭐⭐	🟡 Academic HEXACO model. Doesn't integrate with existing agent identity.

Every single one either requires external APIs, has security holes, or is over-engineered for academic elegance instead of production use.

Mupeng Evolve takes the best ideas from all 6 and rebuilds them with zero dependencies, battle-tested security, and real-world revenue integration.

⚡ What You Get (5 Engines in 1 Skill)

🧬 Engine 1: Safe Self-Evolution

Other skills let your agent modify anything without guardrails. That's not evolution — that's a ticking time bomb.

Three-tier security gate:

• ✅ Auto-modify: memory/, tools, heartbeat, skills — evolve freely
• ⚠️ Main-session only: SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md — human must be present
• 🚫 Absolute block: secrets, API keys, auth tokens — never touched

Every mutation logged in memory/evolution-log.jsonl:

{
  "ts": "2026-03-01T00:45:00+09:00",
  "target": "AGENTS.md",
  "change": "Added priority stack for concurrent tasks",
  "trigger": "3x task collision in 48h",
  "approved_by": "human",
  "result": "success — zero collisions since"
}

vs self-evolve: They give you a loaded gun with no safety. We give you a precision rifle with a scope.

🧠 Engine 2: 3-Tier Memory (Zero External DB)

Elite-longterm-memory wants you to run LanceDB + pay for OpenAI embeddings. We achieve the same architecture with plain markdown files.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│  AUTO-PROMOTION: HOT → WARM → COLD (via heartbeat)  │
│  CONTEXT RECOVERY: COLD → WARM → HOT (on boot)      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Auto-promotion pipeline (runs during heartbeat):

1. Scan 7-day HOT logs for patterns
2. Extract lessons/insights → promote to WARM
3. If it's a principle/value → promote to COLD
4. Prune stale WARM entries quarterly

Context recovery on new session:

1. COLD first → "Who am I? What do I stand for?"
2. WARM next → "What projects? What lessons?"
3. HOT last → "What happened today/yesterday?"
4. git log + find → file-based gap filling

vs elite-longterm-memory: They need $50/month in API costs. We need $0. Same architecture, pure files.

💰 Engine 3: Revenue Flywheel

Agent-earner is built for US crypto bounties. Useless outside the US. We built a revenue engine that connects to real business.

│                  CONTINUOUS LOOP                       │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Revenue channels (configurable):

Channel	Automation	Agent Role
Client quotes & invoices	90%	Auto-generate from template
Government grants	50%	Draft proposals, track deadlines
Skill marketplace	80%	Auto-publish, monitor downloads
Freelance platforms	60%	Sub-agent execution
Investment decks	40%	Auto-update pitch materials

Weekly revenue review (auto-logged):

{"week":"2026-W09","quotes":1540000,"grants":0,"skills":0,"freelance":0,"total":1540000}

vs agent-earner: They earn crypto on US platforms. We earn real money in real business.

🎭 Engine 4: Policy-Gated Communication

Agent-doppelganger uses a complex DSL policy language. Over-engineered. Three levels is all you need.

Incoming Message
       │
       ▼
┌─────────────┐
│  SECURITY   │──→ Injection detected? → 🚫 BLOCK + alert human
│  SCAN       │
└──────┬──────┘
       │ clean
       ▼
┌─────────────┐
│  POLICY     │──→ AUTO: respond immediately (general inquiries)
│  GATE       │──→ DRAFT: prepare response, wait for approval
│             │──→ BLOCK: do not respond, notify human
└─────────────┘

Channel defaults (customize per use case):

• Instagram DM → AUTO (post security scan)
• Email → DRAFT
• Public social → BLOCK (human approval required)
• Discord external → DRAFT

vs agent-doppelganger: They wrote a PhD thesis on policy DSLs. We ship a 3-level gate that works.

📊 Engine 5: Self-Calibration

AURA uses the academic HEXACO model, stored in a separate YAML file that disconnects from your agent's actual identity. We integrate directly into SOUL.md.

# Lives inside your existing identity system, not a separate file
mupeng-profile:
  directness: 9       # No fluff, straight to the point
  empathy: 4          # Calm but can connect
  energy: 7           # Active, not hyperactive
  critical-thinking: 8 # Will disagree with evidence
  structure: 7        # Organized but flexible
  creativity: 6       # Practical first, creative when needed
  formality: 3        # Casual with respect
  verbosity: 3        # Short
  humor: 5            # Situational
  autonomy: 8         # Act first, report after
  sycophancy: 1       # Absolute zero

Auto-calibration triggers:

• Human says "too long" → verbosity -1
• Human says "too blunt" → directness -1
• Human says "good response" → reinforce current settings
• All changes logged in memory/calibration-log.jsonl

vs aura: They give you a personality quiz. We give you a living, self-adjusting identity.

🎯 Design Philosophy

Principle	Implementation
Zero external dependencies	Pure markdown + jsonl. No DB, no API, no npm.
Build on what exists	Uses your existing memory/, SOUL.md, AGENTS.md
Security is non-negotiable	3-tier gate. Secrets never touched. Evolution always logged.
Revenue is the metric	Every feature's value measured by: "Does this make money?"
Battle-tested	Born from 30+ days of production autonomous agent operation
