Workflow Phases
Phase 1: Analysis (Auto) — Execute task-specific analysis workflow per TASK and SCOPE
Phase 2: Recommendations (Auto) — Generate prioritized improvement recommendations at DEPTH level
Phase 3: Approval Gate (User) — Review recommendations and approve actions
Phase 4: Execution (Conditional) — If AUTO_EXECUTE=true for low-risk items, or user approves, implement changes
Phase 5: Verification (Auto) — Validate all changes via Verifier
Phase 6: Documentation (Auto) — Generate summary report with changelog entries
Phase 7: Plan Archival (Auto) — Persist approved plan to docs/plans/ for audit trail
Orchestration Chain
Evolve → CopilotCustomizer orchestrator → Evolve → [Editor] → [Verifier] → Complete
Example Invocations
Default audit (most common):
/Evolve
Runs asset audit with standard depth across all toolkit assets.
Quick release check:
/Evolve task: "monitor-releases", depth: "quick-check"
Fast scan of VS Code Copilot docs for new features.
Comprehensive doc review:
/Evolve task: "review-docs", scope: "docs", depth: "comprehensive"
Deep review of all toolkit documentation.
Optimize agents only:
/Evolve task: "optimize", scope: "agents", autoExecute: "false"
Analyze agent token usage with manual approval before changes.
Pre-release validation:
/Evolve task: "self-validate", depth: "comprehensive"
Full validation suite before a toolkit release.
Implement a feature:
/Evolve task: "feature-request"
Then describe the feature in the chat. The orchestrator routes to Evolve, which will classify, plan, and implement the feature.
