evo

evo is a plugin that transforms your codebase into an automated research loop. It identifies optimization targets, establishes evaluation benchmarks, and initiates experimental cycles—trying different approaches, retaining improvements, and discarding ineffective ones. Unlike greedy hill-climbing, evo uses tree search, enabling multiple directions to branch from any commit node, avoiding over-specialization in a single exploration path. It also supports parallel semi-autonomous agents, each operating in its own Git working tree, reading traces, forming hypotheses, and running multiple iterations. evo provides shared state, gating mechanisms, observability, and automatic benchmark discovery. Suitable for developers and teams, it helps automate the code optimization process.
