Teams evolving agents through editable skills
Worth noticing
Its 35-edit pilot reports 0.80 detection recall, while seven of eight cosmetic edits were held for human review.

Field notes

Each edit is replayed against approved tasks plus three canaries, using fresh sandboxes, recorded side-effect cassettes, and the same model tier. The page says Level 0 checks side effects without a model; Nano, Super, and Ultra escalate disputed comparisons, with uncertain verdicts held for a person. In a 35-labeled-edit pilot, it reports $0.0384 mean cost per verdict; cosmetic edits were often held for review.
