Testing & Debugging Skills

Use when debugging is complete and the user wants to stop accumulating large trace logs — trigger words \"turn off debug\", \"stop verbose\", \"disable trace\", \"debug off\". Disables verbose / trace-level logging for the iEvo pipeline. Reverts to normal logging (concise .ievo/log/init-.md only).

Enable verbose / trace-level logging across the iEvo pipeline. Use when the user wants to debug an init, evolution, or security-audit session — captures full prompts, full sub-agent returns, every Task tool dispatch, every gh/git/network call, environment dump. Output goes to .ievo/log/debug/ / for post-mortem analysis. Activates by writing .ievo/debug.flag (project-level setting). Trigger words — \"turn on debug\", \"verbose mode\", \"log everything\", \"trace level\", \"debug logging\".

Use when the user identifies a behavior to improve, a mistake to prevent, a project convention, a team role, a tech-stack constraint, or any pattern worth persisting beyond the current session. Captures a lesson and adds it to the appropriate evolution overlay — a per-agent file, per-skill file, or project-wide rules file. Appends to .ievo/evolution/ / .md (overlay file). The agent/skill body is never modified — overlays are read at dispatch time via a one-time marker injection.

Use when the user wants to stop iEvo from capturing lessons automatically — trigger words \"turn off auto evolution\", \"stop auto-evolve\", \"evo auto off\", \"stop capturing lessons automatically\". Disables auto-evolution mode for this project. Stops iEvo from accumulating \"corrections from the user\" as evolution candidates; reverts to explicit /ievo:evo only. Removes the project-local flag .ievo/evo-auto.flag. Non-destructive: already-parked candidates in .ievo/evolution-candidates/ are preserved for review. Inverse of /ievo:evo-auto-enable.

Use when the user wants to capture lessons automatically without invoking /ievo:evo explicitly — trigger words \"turn on auto evolution\", \"auto-evolve\", \"capture lessons automatically\", \"evo auto on\", \"evolve without asking\". Enables auto-evolution mode for this project — iEvo accumulates \"corrections from the user\" as evolution candidates during a session and surfaces them for review via /ievo:evo. Sets the project-local flag .ievo/evo-auto.flag and prepares the pending-candidate queue at .ievo/evolution-candidates/. Asks whether to also capture tool failures/denials (opt-in, scrubbed for privacy). Auto-mode writes ONLY unambiguous project-wide overlays; ambiguous or user-level matches are parked for manual review, never written silently.

Use when a workflow repeated this session, wrapping up and wondering if anything should become a skill, or asked to extract best practices from this session. Mines the current session for repeated multi-step workflows, decision frameworks, or error-recovery patterns never explicitly captured via /ievo:evo. Cross-checks against installed skills/agents, then presents candidates for explicit selection before anything is authored — generalizable patterns become new skills/agents (reusing consolidate's package-authoring machinery); patterns too narrow to stand alone, or refining an existing skill/agent, route to /ievo:evo rather than reinventing overlay-writing. For a marketplace-worthy new package, optionally offers (explicit permission, never silent) to submit a distilled version upstream to ievo-ai/skills, mirroring evo/SKILL.md's upstream-escalation for a full package instead of a lesson. Distinct from /ievo:consolidate's entry-cluster mode, which only clusters already-captured overlay entries.

Use when expanding a small set of candidate skills into the full breadth of what their host repos offer. Enumerates the full content of one or more GitHub repos that host Claude Code skills, agents, and plugins. Thin wrapper around scripts/scanrepo.mjs (deterministic Node scanner — no LLM required). Returns structured markdown indices per repo.

Use when the user asks \"what evolutions have I captured\", \"show my iEvo overlays\", \"what rules are active in this project\", \"list installed overlays\", \"summarize .ievo/evolution\" — not for previewing a remote repo's contents before install (use /ievo:inspect for that). Surfaces the current state of iEvo evolution overlays in this project. Lists every overlay under .ievo/evolution/ grouped by scope (project, agents, skills), with a one-line summary + last-modified date per file. Read-only — never modifies, deletes, or rewrites overlay content. Closes the legibility gap iEvo's own coverage-audit.md flagged as \"Standalone 'list installed iEvo overlays' command\".
