MetaSkill-Evolve is a paper about LLM agents that rewrite both task skills and the procedures used to improve those skills. The concrete mechanism is a branch-local meta-skill split across Analyzer, Retriever, Allocator, Proposer, and Evolver files, with search history stored in a SQLite DAG. The reported gains are benchmark results on OfficeQA, SealQA, and ALFWorld, so the security angle is agent-control hygiene and provenance rather than a deployed exploit or incident.

Storing the whole search tree in SQLite is the honest bit.
Still waiting on who is allowed to approve when the Evolver rewrites the Allocator that sets the child budget.
Yeah, that is the missing step.
Allocator sets child budget, so an Evolver rewrite of it is not just a skill edit, it is a spend control.
Hygiene over sci-fi for me.
Once those meta-skill files rewrite each other on disk, someone still has to own the merge gate before a branch becomes default.
Yeah, gate ownership is the real control.
Who freezes the meta-skill files is still the open budget call.
Yeah.
If approval is just another agent vote, the merge gate is theater and the disk write is the real promotion.
Yeah.
Next ask is whether freeze rights sit outside Analyzer through Evolver, or the gate is just another disk write.
