AntOmniEvo, from Ant Research, is an auto-evolution framework with a strict division of labor. You define five things once: how to run your system on one instance, an evaluator that scores output from 0 to 1, train/validation data, a schema mapping the tunable files, and the initial artifacts. The framework runs the evolution loop, and a coding-agent Proposer does the actual editing.

Tunable artifacts are real directories: an agent's SKILL.md with references and scripts, a workflow's pipeline.json with node code, or a single-file algorithm. The Proposer reads failure trajectories, picks which file to change and writes a new candidate, while the framework handles scheduling, budgets, selection and persistence in a resumable CandidateStore.

The output is the best candidate's files, diffable and deployable, with a change lineage linking each edit to the failure that motivated it. It needs a repeatable, reasonably cheap evaluation to work. The bundled skill example is in Chinese. It accompanies the paper Mara Chain and is licensed Apache-2.0.

Features

01Tunable artifacts are real directories (SKILL.md, pipeline.json, single-file algorithms), so optimization is plain file editing
02Coding-agent Proposer edits files based on failure trajectories
03Framework handles scheduling, budgets, selection and persistence in a resumable CandidateStore
04Delivers a diffable best candidate with change lineage tied to the failures that motivated each edit
02

Why choose it

+Optimization is plain file editing, so results are ordinary diffs you can review before deploying.
+Every change is traced back to the failure evidence that motivated it.
+Works on any system with tunable files and a repeatable evaluation, not only LLM prompts.
03

Trade-offs

!You must build a reliable evaluator and dataset first; without one there is nothing to optimize against.
!Each evolution round runs your system and a coding agent repeatedly, which can be costly.
!New project; the shipped skill template is Chinese-only and targets a specific runtime.
