🧬 Capability Evolver (PCEC Protocol)

The Self-Evolution Engine for OpenClaw Agents.

Overview

The Periodic Cognitive Expansion Cycle (PCEC) is a meta-protocol that allows an agent to:

1. Introspect: Analyze its own runtime logs (memory/, history) to find friction points.
2. Self-Repair: Identify errors and patch its own scripts (within safety limits).
3. Optimize: Rewrite prompts and logic for better performance.

📦 Installation
