Shadow Nurture Distribution

🍼 Shadow Nurture Protocol

While Evolution pulls improvements from children, Nurture pushes improvements to children. This ensures that when the Mother Hive advances (e.g., new Tacit Knowledge, improved Skills), all active Legion members receive the upgrade.

🛠️ Capabilities

1. Distribute Updates

• Script: scripts/distribute.ps1
• Inputs:
  • Target (Optional): specific child path or 'All'.
  • Component: 'All', 'Identity', 'Skills', or specific file path relative to .shadow/.
• Actions:
  1. Read child_registry.json to get target nodes.
  2. Copy selected files from Mother Hive to the target Child(ren).
  3. Safety: Does NOT overwrite project-specific data (items.json, summary.md, mutation_log.json).

2. Logging (Bidirectional Audit Trail)

After each successful nurture operation:

1. Update Mother's nurture_history.json:
   • Record timestamp, target node, version pushed, and items list.
2. Update Child's nurture_log.json:
   • Record timestamp, source version, items received, and description.

📜 Workflow

Step 1: Identify Targets

• Read child_registry.json.
• Filter by status: "Active".

Step 2: Copy Files

• For each target node, copy the specified component(s).
• Overwrite existing files (except protected project-specific data).

Step 3: Write Logs

• Append to nurture_history.json (Mother).
• Append to nurture_log.json (Child).

Step 4: Report

• Summarize which nodes received which updates.

💻 Usage

User: "Push the new 'Shadow Chronos' skill to all child nodes."
Agent: [Executes Skill: Shadow Nurture] --Target "All" --Component "skills/shadow_chronos"

User: "反哺所有子节点"
Agent: [Executes Skill: Shadow Nurture] --Target "All" --Component "All"

📋 Protected Files (Never Overwrite)

• memory/life/projects/* (Project-specific memory)
• memory/*.md (Daily notes)
• mutation_log.json (Child's own mutations - append only)
