🎯 Quick Start

1. Automatic Error Capture

from self_evolution import auto_catch, AutoErrorCatcher, catch_and_learn

# Method 1: Decorator
@auto_catch()
def risky_operation():
    result = 1 / 0  # Will be caught and logged
    return result

# Method 2: Context Manager
with AutoErrorCatcher("my_operation") as catcher:
    dangerous_task()

if catcher.has_error:
    print(f"Suggestion: {catcher.get_suggestion()}")

# Method 3: Manual Capture
try:
    complex_calculation()
except Exception as e:
    error_record = catch_and_learn(e, "complex_calculation")
    print(f"Error type: {error_record.error_type}")
    print(f"Suggestion: {error_record.suggestion}")

2. Pattern Detection

from self_evolution import AutoPatternDetector

detector = AutoPatternDetector()
detector.run()  # Analyze patterns automatically

# Get suggestions
suggestions = detector.generate_suggestions()
for s in suggestions:
    print(f"Suggestion: {s['suggestion']}")

3. AI Attribution Analysis

from self_evolution import AIAttributor

attributor = AIAttributor()
attribution = attributor.analyze(error_context)

print(f"Root cause: {attribution['root_cause']}")
print(f"Responsibility: {attribution['responsibility']}")
print(f"Improvement: {attribution['improvement']}")

4. Evolution Dashboard

from self_evolution import EvolutionDashboard

dashboard = EvolutionDashboard()
html_report = dashboard.generate()

# Save to file
with open("evolution_dashboard.html", "w") as f:
    f.write(html_report)

5. Weekly Review

from self_evolution import WeeklyReview

reviewer = WeeklyReview()
report = reviewer.generate_report(days=7)
print(report)

📊 Evolution Loop

Self-evolution follows a complete 8-step evolution loop:

┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐
│ 1.Record│───→│ 2.Attribute│──→│ 3.Summarize│→│ 4.Plan  │
└─────────┘    └─────────┘    └─────────┘    └─────────┘

┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐    ┌─────────┐
│ 5.Implement│←─│ 6.Verify│←──│ 7.Consolidate│←│ 8.Update│
└─────────┘    └─────────┘    └─────────┘    └─────────┘

Output Types

Type	Storage	Example
rule	AGENTS.md	"Always backup before modifying"
script	scripts/	check_duplicates.py
skill	active_skills/	memorycoreclaw
tool	TOOL_REGISTRY.md	Command checker
