Principles Disciple

An evolutionary agent framework built around pain signals, guarded execution, and a separable control plane.

Current Model

• Pain captures failure and frustration signals
• GFI is the short-term friction brake
• Gate is the execution intercept layer
• Evolution is the learning plane with EP (Evolution Points) as the sole gating mechanism
• EP Tier determines agent capabilities (Seed → Sprout → Sapling → Tree → Forest)

Key Commands

Command	Description
/pd-evolution-status	Show the current control-plane and evolution summary
/pd-evolve	Run an evolution task
/pd-rollback	Roll back the latest or specified empathy penalty
/pd-help	Show help

/pd-evolution-status Example

Evolution Status
================

Control Plane
- EP Tier: Sapling (200 points)
- Session GFI: current 18, peak 25 (partial)
- GFI Sources: user_empathy(18)
- Pain Flag: inactive
- Last Pain Signal: user_empathy - buffered empathy event
- Gate Events: blocks 1, bypasses 0 (authoritative)

Evolution
- Queue: pending 1, in_progress 0, completed 0 (authoritative)
- Directive: present, active yes, age 5m
- Directive Task: fix something important

Important Behavior Notes

• /pd-rollback now removes only the user_empathy GFI slice; it does not wipe the full session GFI.

Usage

Use Principles Disciple to:

• observe runtime control-plane state
• capture pain signals and empathy signals
• guard risky actions through Gate
• feed lessons into the evolution pipeline without turning evolution into a second authority system

This skill is designed to support the current observation window before any Capability shadow rollout.
