Community Claude Code plugin, installs in GrokPluginDevelopment

turns your codebase into an autoresearch loop — discovers what to measure, instruments the benchmark, then runs tree search with parallel subagents.

How to install Evo in Grok Build

1. Add this repo as a plugin marketplace in Grok Build (once per computer):

grok plugin marketplace add evo-hq/evo

2. Install the plugin:

grok plugin install evo@evo-hq/evo --trust

✓ Install-checked in Grok Buildchecked Oct 18, 2026

Review before you trust it. --trust lets this plugin's hooks, MCP servers and scripts run code on your computer. It's a community repo that neither xAI nor GrokStacks has reviewed, so read its code first.

Then start a new Grok session, or press r in /plugins, to load it.

Inside Grok Build: type /plugins, open the Marketplace tab, press a and add evo-hq/evo, then select evo and press i.

What it contains

Skills (7)

discover — Initialize evo for the current repository by exploring the codebase, proposing unexplored optimization dimensions, constructing the benchmark inside a baseline worktree, and running the first experiment. Use when the user invokes /evo:disco
finetuning — This skill should be used when picking or diagnosing a training move (SFT, LoRA, DPO/KTO/ORPO, RFT, GRPO/PPO/RLOO, RLHF), or when the user mentions fine-tuning, post-training, training recipe, reward design, or weight updates. Decision tree
infra-setup — Non-user-invocable provider/setup reference for evo backend switching, prerequisite checks, and auth/install guidance.
optimize — Drive structured autoresearch iteration after evo:discover and the baseline commit. Use when the user invokes /evo:optimize or asks to try ideas, try variants, run experiments, use available GPUs, improve the current best/frontier, continue
report — Read-only evo run reporting. Use when the user invokes /evo:report, asks what happened overnight, asks what improved recently, asks for the best/frontier candidates, asks for a quick score chart without opening the dashboard, or wants the s
ship — Land the winning experiment from an evo run as a clean, mergeable change -- open a PR when the repo has a remote, otherwise merge into the working branch. Distills the best-scoring experiment down to the minimal diff that reproduces its beh
subagent — Protocol that evo optimization subagents follow when dispatched from /optimize. Auto-loaded by spawned subagents via their host's skill loader. The orchestrator may also invoke this skill to understand the brief shape its dispatched subagen

Subagents (3)

evo:benchmark-reviewer — Reviews an evo benchmark in two modes. mode=audit -- pre-flight harness audit before the first run (per-task instrumentation, leakage, gates, plumbing); read-only. mode=review-experiment -- post-commi
evo:ideator — Generates ranked experiment proposals for the evo orchestrator. Runs ONE brief per invocation (`failure_analysis`, `literature`, or `frontier_extrapolation`) and appends proposals as JSONL lines to a
evo:verifier — Read-only audit of one evo experiment for design-time cheating (pre-phase) or result-time validity (post-phase). Catches test-set leakage in training data, subsetted eval commands, missing gates for n
