What Evo Subagent Protocol does

Evo Subagent Protocol defines the brief shape and execution loop that evo optimization subagents follow when dispatched from /optimize. Orchestrators use it to write valid briefs and debug subagent behavior; subagents use it to drive required verifier checks and read-edit-run iteration.

Evo Subagent Protocol is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Evo Subagent Protocol comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, autonomous-agents, autoresearch, claude-code and code-optimization.

README

Excerpt

Evo Subagent Protocol

Orchestrators reading for context: this is the protocol your dispatched subagents follow. You don't act on it yourself -- write briefs that satisfy the four required fields described below, and rely on each spawned subagent to drive the loop on its end. Stop reading at "Host conventions" if you only need the brief shape; the rest is for the subagent.

Evo surface -- subagent perspective

What you can pull/dispatch/read as a subagent. Each line is a triggering condition.
