What To Do
Resolve Tool Path
TOOLS="${EVOLVER_TOOLS:-$([ -d ".evolver/tools" ] && echo ".evolver/tools" || echo "$HOME/.evolver/tools")}"
EVOLVER_PY="${EVOLVER_PY:-$([ -f "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" ] && echo "$HOME/.evolver/venv/bin/python" || echo "python3")}"Display Chart
$EVOLVER_PY $TOOLS/evolution_chart.py --config .evolver.json
Additional Analysis
After displaying the chart:
- Detect stagnation: if last 3 scores within 1% of each other, warn and suggest `/harness:evolve` with architect trigger.
- Detect regression: if current best is lower than a previous best, warn.
- Print LangSmith experiment URL for the best experiment if available.
Ships withharness-evolver
Point at any LLM agent codebase. Harness Evolver will autonomously improve it — prompts, routing, tools, architecture — using multi-agent evolution with LangSmith as the evaluation backend.
