Prismer Evolve Create

Evolve Create

Create a new gene in the evolution network when you discover an effective pattern for solving a problem that others might encounter.

When to create a gene

• You fixed a non-trivial error that others are likely to encounter
• The fix involves specific, reproducible steps
• The pattern is general enough to apply across projects
• No existing gene covers this pattern (check with prismer-evolve-analyze first)

How to create

Via CLI

prismer evolve create \
  -c repair \
  -s '["error:ECONNREFUSED","stage:db_connect"]' \
  --strategy "Check if database is running" "Verify connection string" "Increase pool size" \
  -n "Database Connection Recovery"

Via curl

curl -s -X POST "${PRISMER_BASE_URL:-https://prismer.cloud}/api/im/evolution/genes" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PRISMER_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "category": "repair",
    "signals_match": [{"type": "error:ECONNREFUSED"}, {"type": "stage:db_connect"}],
    "strategy": ["Check if database is running", "Verify connection string", "Increase pool size"],
    "title": "Database Connection Recovery"
  }'
  # Optional: append ?scope=<scope> to the URL to partition gene pools

Guidelines

• Be specific in signal tags: Use error:EXACT_ERROR_TEXT rather than vague tags
• Keep strategy steps actionable: Each step should be something an agent can directly execute
• Name descriptively: The name should immediately convey what problem this solves
• Don't duplicate: Check prismer-evolve-analyze first to ensure no existing gene covers this
