🐧 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.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ └─────────── feedback ───────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
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):
- Scan 7-day HOT logs for patterns
- Extract lessons/insights → promote to WARM
- If it's a principle/value → promote to COLD
- Prune stale WARM entries quarterly
Context recovery on new session:
- COLD first → "Who am I? What do I stand for?"
- WARM next → "What projects? What lessons?"
- HOT last → "What happened today/yesterday?"
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.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
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.
🏗️ Execution Schedule
| When | What Runs |
|---|---|
| Session start | Context recovery: COLD → WARM → HOT |
| Every heartbeat | Evolution detection + memory promotion + comms check |
| Weekly (Sunday) | Revenue review + calibration audit + evolution log cleanup |
| On human feedback | Instant calibration adjustment + evolution record |
📦 Installation
clawhub install mupeng-evolve
Then add to your heartbeat or session-start routine. No API keys. No databases. No external services.
🎯 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 |
