v0.16.0MIT

Self-maintaining, self-proving skills and knowledge: adaptive web research on four tracks (the subject, the skills, plugins, MCP servers and knowledge graphs built for it, how others use agents on the same goal, and how they test that the job was done), never-teach-twice learnings capture, plugin-owned codemaps, a portable AI-preferences profile, and an eval suite per skill (trigger, action, outcome, decoys, baseline) that passes on evidence outside the transcript, with a bounded tuning loop that researches the subject's own testing when a skill fails, and a worth check that warns while a skill is made or changed when it reads as mostly cost and decides KEEP, TRIM or CUT from the with-versus-without A/B. Skills say what they need (tools, packages, keys, servers, models, accounts, and access to databases, telemetry, cloud roles and APIs) and what for: on a new machine or agent harness, or when something is missing, the agent explains it, installs what is safe after saying so, hands the user exact steps for the rest, drafts least-privilege access requests without ever granting itself access, and records the recipe that worked and how each attempt went for that environment. An end-of-session wrap-up harvests the session transcript and keeps only what will save time or tokens or raise quality, routed to its narrowest home. Converts existing skills and makes new ones evergreen by default. Lives in one public git repository (https://github.com/m4bwav/evergreen-protocol): every install is a clone that pulls to stay current and, only if its owner said yes at install, sends improvements to the protocol, skills and scripts back as pull requests it opens itself (log entries go straight to master from a maintainer's clone), with email as the fallback route.

evergreen-convert

Convert an existing skill, plugin, knowledge document, or repo doc into a self-maintaining evergreen unit: adds RESEARCH.md, CHANGELOG.md, LEARNINGS.md, evergreen.json, for skills a TESTS.md and evals suite, a Maintenance section in the main file, and either a link to the plugin's protocol or a standalone MAINTENANCE.md companion. Use on 'make X self-maintaining', 'convert X to evergreen', 'add research refresh to X', 'make this skill keep itself current', 'evergreen-ify', or when auditing skills that still refresh ad hoc (a hand-rolled state file, a 'refresh every N days' note) and should join the paradigm.
