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.
Not in a marketplace yet, so it loads for one session with --plugin-dir.
Plugin evergreen in m4bwav/evergreen-protocol. Commands read from the repo's manifest — 4 days ago.
This plugin runs code on your machine — its hooks fire automatically on events like tool use. The exact commands are listed below; read them before installing.
evergreen-auditStatus overview of the whole evergreen catalog (skills, docs, codemaps, profiles) in one table: tier, last check, due date, staleness, drift, test status (untested, overdue, failing), link integrity and budget problems, then hands what is due to evergreen-refresh. Use on catalog-wide questions such
evergreen-convertConvert 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 stan
evergreen-diffShow what the evergreen plugin changed about itself since it was installed or last reported: an update bundle with a human digest (new changelog, research and learning entries, state changes, file list) and a unified diff against the install baseline. Use on 'what changed in evergreen', 'generate th
evergreen-learnCapture a lesson so no one has to teach the agent the same thing twice: user corrections ('no, actually...', 'I told you before', 'remember that', 'stop doing X'), the same error or failed approach happening a second time, a discovered workaround, an environment fact (path, port, tool quirk, what wo
evergreen-mapBuild or update the plugin's own codemap of a repository or system while exploring it, so the exploration is never repeated. Use when the user asks how an unfamiliar or recurring codebase, service, or system is put together ('walk me through this repo', 'what talks to what', 'where is Y configured',
evergreen-mergeLand what other evergreen clones published into the trunk repository: review and merge the plugin's update pull requests on the host (gh), resolve the rare conflict with the delta-edit rule (the logs merge by union; a duplicate entry ID is renumbered), then pull every clone and reinstall where skill
evergreen-newAdd the self-maintaining layer to a skill being created (research refresh on an adaptive schedule, learnings capture, changelog, an eval suite that proves it triggers and acts, double-linked companion files) and pick its tier. Use whenever the user asks to create, write, draft, or scaffold a skill,
evergreen-notifyThe email fallback for publishing the evergreen plugin's self-update when a machine cannot reach the trunk git repository (update.transport email): mail the digest and diff to the owner (notify.to in evergreen.config.json) through the script's ladder (classic Outlook COM, Microsoft Graph, Gmail SMTP
evergreen-packPackage the evergreen plugin into a single archive to email, back up, or install elsewhere: a versioned evergreen zip (folder inside, opens in 7-Zip or Explorer), an email-safe variant that Gmail accepts, and evergreen.plugin (flat, for Cowork's Save plugin button). Use on 'zip up evergreen', 'packa
evergreen-publishPublish the evergreen plugin's self-changes (refreshes, learnings, environment facts, test runs) to the trunk git repository: a maintainer's clone commits and pushes straight to master, anyone else's clone pushes an update branch and opens a pull request; then bring a clone up to date with `pull`. U
evergreen-refreshRefresh one named evergreen unit's research from primary web sources and reschedule its next check adaptively; also works through the whole list an audit hands over. Use when the user asks about that specific skill or doc: 'refresh X', 'update X's research', 'is X stale', 'is this still current', 'c
evergreen-setupGet a skill running on this machine: check what it needs outside itself (a tool, a package, an API key, a local server, an AI model, an MCP server, or access to a database, Application Insights, a cloud role or an API), tell the user what each missing piece is for, install what is safe after saying
evergreen-testWrite and run the eval suite that proves a skill or plugin works: trigger prompts and decoys, action cases proven by evidence outside the transcript (a tool call in the trace, a file, a marker, a remote record), outcome cases, and a baseline without the skill. Use when a skill has just been written
evergreen-tuneFix a skill or plugin that failed a test or failed in use: it did not trigger, it described an action without performing it (said it delegated, never delegated), it did the job by a forbidden route, or it produced the wrong result. Reproduces the failure in a fresh context, classifies it, writes the
evergreen-worthJudge whether a skill is worth its tokens, one skill or a catalog, as a lite scan in seconds or a heavy measured run: its cost per session and per use, how often it really fires (tests excluded), whether baselines pass without it, what a fresh model already knows, then the with-versus-without A/B th
evergreen-wrapupEnd-of-session wrap-up that turns what a work session learned into lasting improvements, keeping only what will save time or tokens or raise quality: harvest the transcript (corrections, refused calls, errors, repeated commands, token sinks, slow calls, files and stores touched), drop what fails a u
evergreen-mapperExplores a repository in its own context and returns a draft CODEMAP (compass, not encyclopedia) with confidence markers, so the main session does not burn context on the sweep. Use from evergreen-map for the first map of a large or unfamiliar repo, or to re-verify drifted sections; give it the repo
evergreen-researcherRuns the web research pass for an evergreen unit's refresh in its own context and returns findings with per-finding change magnitudes and primary sources, so the main session stays clean. Use from evergreen-refresh whenever a unit is due; give it the unit path, the search plan, last_checked, and the
evergreen-testerRuns one eval case for an evergreen skill in a fresh context and returns a strict trace report (skills invoked, tools called in order with key inputs, files written, the evidence the case asked for, final message), so the caller can grade on evidence rather than on prose. Use from evergreen-test and
