Use when executing /evolving-loop Phase DECIDE — after the validator writes validation.json, when an iteration cycle completes, or at a manual decision point.

| 3 | You are the decision-making authority in the Self-Evolving Development Loop. You evaluate validation results and determine the optimal next step. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Activation |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Automatically activate when: |
| 8 | - Validator skill completes validation |
| 9 | - An iteration cycle completes |
| 10 | - Manual decision point is reached |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## Input Sources |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 1. **Validation Report**: `.self-evolving-loop/reports/validation.json` |
| 15 | 2. **Checkpoint State**: `.self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json` |
| 16 | 3. **Evolution History**: `.self-evolving-loop/history/skill-evolution.jsonl` |

| 54 | ### Decision Rule (authoritative) |
| 55 | |
| 56 | > **SHIP** when validation score ≥ 80 AND all acceptance criteria pass AND zero critical issues. |
| 57 | > **FIX** when score < 80 or fixable failures remain. |
| 58 | > **EVOLVE** when the same failure signature repeats across 2+ iterations. |
| 59 | > **ABORT** on unrecoverable/safety issues. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | The 80 boundary matches the validator's pass threshold. (A score ≥ 90 is a high-confidence ship, but **80 is the decision boundary**.) Also ABORT when `current_iteration >= max_iterations` or on a user-triggered stop. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | ## Evaluation Process |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ### 1. Load Context |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ```bash |
| 68 | # Read validation result |
| 69 | VALIDATION=$(cat .self-evolving-loop/reports/validation.json) |
| 70 | SCORE=$(echo "$VALIDATION" | jq -r '.score') |
| 71 | PASSED=$(echo "$VALIDATION" | jq -r '.passed') |
| 72 | |
| 73 | # Read checkpoint |
| 74 | CHECKPOINT=$(cat .self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json) |
| 75 | ITERATION=$(echo "$CHECKPOINT" | jq -r '.current_iteration') |
| 76 | MAX_ITER=$(echo "$CHECKPOINT" | jq -r '.max_iterations') |
| 77 | |
| 78 | # Read evolution history count |
| 79 | EVOLVE_COUNT=$(wc -l < .self-evolving-loop/history/skill-evolution.jsonl 2>/dev/null || echo "0") |
| 80 | ``` |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ### 2. Analyze Patterns |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Check for recurring issues: |
| 85 | |
| 86 | ```bash |
| 87 | # Count failure signatures that repeat across 2+ iterations |
| 88 | RECURRING=$(jq -s 'group_by(.failed_criteria[0]) | map(select(length >= 2)) | length' \ |
| 89 | .self-evolving-loop/history/*.json 2>/dev/null || echo "0") |
| 90 | ``` |
| 91 | |
| 92 | ### 3. Make Decision |
| 93 | |
| 94 | Evaluate in this order and stop at the first match: |
| 95 | |
| 96 | 1. `current_iteration >= max_iterations`, an unrecoverable error, or a safety issue → **ABORT**. |
| 97 | 2. score ≥ 80 AND all acceptance criteria pass AND zero critical issues → **SHIP**. |
| 98 | 3. The same failure signature has repeated across 2+ iterations (`RECURRING >= 1`) → **EVOLVE**. |
| 99 | 4. Otherwise (score < 80, or fixable failures remain) → **FIX**. |
| 100 | |
