Evolution V2

Makepad Skills Evolution

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/evolution from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Quick Navigation, Skill Routing and Bundling, Pattern N: [Pattern Name], Self-Correction, Self-Validation, Validation Report.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• You are maintaining makepad-skills and want the skill library to improve itself during development.
• You need the workflow for deciding when a new pattern should become a skill update or hook-driven evolution.
• You are working on self-correction, self-validation, or version adaptation for the skill set.
• Hook - Trigger Event - Action
• makepad-skill-router.sh - UserPromptSubmit - Auto-route to relevant skills
• pre-tool.sh - Before Bash/Write/Edit - Detect Makepad version from Cargo.toml

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Is this a reusable pattern? (not project-specific)
2. Did it take significant effort to figure out?
3. Would it help other Makepad developers?
4. Is it not already documented in makepad-skills?
5. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
6. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
7. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: Evolution Process

Step 1: Identify Knowledge Worth Capturing

Ask yourself:

• Is this a reusable pattern? (not project-specific)
• Did it take significant effort to figure out?
• Would it help other Makepad developers?
• Is it not already documented in makepad-skills?

Step 2: Classify the Knowledge

Widget/Component Pattern     → robius-widget-patterns/_base/
Shader/Visual Effect         → makepad-shaders/
Error/Debug Solution         → makepad-reference/troubleshooting.md
Layout/Responsive Design     → makepad-reference/adaptive-layout.md
Build/Deploy Issue           → makepad-deployment/SKILL.md
Project Structure            → makepad-basics/
Core Concept/API             → makepad-dsl/ or makepad-widgets/

## Examples

### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

```text
Use @evolution-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @evolution-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @evolution-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @evolution-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Generic, reusable patterns
• Common errors with clear solutions
• Well-tested shader effects
• Platform-specific gotchas
• Performance optimizations
• Project-specific code
• Unverified solutions

Imported Operating Notes

Imported: Quality Guidelines

DO Add

• Generic, reusable patterns
• Common errors with clear solutions
• Well-tested shader effects
• Platform-specific gotchas
• Performance optimizations

DON'T Add

• Project-specific code
• Unverified solutions
• Duplicate content
• Incomplete examples
• Personal preferences without rationale

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/evolution, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Reference Notes

Imported: References

• makepad-skills repository
• Makepad documentation
• Project Robius

Imported: Skill Routing and Bundling

The makepad-skill-router.sh hook automatically loads relevant skills based on user queries.

Context Detection

Skill Dependencies

When loading certain skills, related skills are auto-loaded:

Example

User: "我想从零开发一个 Makepad 应用"

[makepad-skills] Detected Makepad/Robius query
[makepad-skills] App development context detected - loading skill bundle
[makepad-skills] Routing to: makepad-basics makepad-dsl makepad-event-action
                            makepad-layout makepad-widgets robius-app-architecture

Imported: Pattern N: [Pattern Name]

Brief description of what this pattern solves.

live_design!

live_design! {
    // DSL code
}

Rust Implementation

// Rust code

**For Troubleshooting**:
```markdown
### [Error Type/Message]

**Symptom**: What the developer sees

**Cause**: Why this happens

**Solution**:
```rust
// Fixed code

### Step 4: Mark Evolution (NOT Version)

Add an evolution marker above new content:

```markdown
<!-- Evolution: 2024-01-15 | source: my-app | author: @zhangsan -->

Step 5: Submit via Git

# Create branch for your contribution
git checkout -b evolution/add-loading-pattern

# Commit your changes
git add robius-widget-patterns/_base/my-pattern.md
git commit -m "evolution: add loading state pattern from my-app"

# Push and create PR
git push origin evolution/add-loading-pattern

Imported: Self-Correction

When skill content causes errors, automatically correct it.

Trigger Conditions

User follows skill advice → Code fails to compile/run → Claude identifies skill was wrong
                                                      ↓
                                         AUTO: Correct skill immediately

Correction Flow

1. Detect - Skill advice led to an error
2. Verify - Confirm the skill content is wrong
3. Correct - Update the skill file with fix

Correction Marker Format

<!-- Correction: YYYY-MM-DD | was: [old advice] | reason: [why it was wrong] -->

Imported: Self-Validation

Imported: Auto-Evolution Prompts

Use these prompts to trigger self-evolution:

After Solving a Problem

"This solution should be added to makepad-skills for future reference."

After Creating a Widget

"This widget pattern is reusable. Let me add it to makepad-patterns."

After Debugging

"This error and its fix should be documented in makepad-troubleshooting."

After Completing a Feature

"Review what I learned and update makepad-skills if applicable."

Imported: Continuous Improvement Checklist

After each Makepad development session, consider:

• Did I discover a new widget composition pattern?
• Did I solve a tricky shader problem?
• Did I encounter and fix a confusing error?
• Did I find a better way to structure layouts?
• Did I learn something about packaging/deployment?
• Would any of this help other Makepad developers?

If yes to any, evolve the appropriate skill!

Imported: Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
