Individual skill
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:discover, mentions setting up evo, wants to instrument a codebase for autonomous optimization, or asks to start a new evo run on a project.

# Discover
Internal procedure for `evo:discover`. The user only sees the user-facing prompts, the dashboard URL, and the baseline score -- everything else is the agent's choreography.
## Evo surface
General guidance on the skills and tools available in evo. Each line is a triggering condition: if you're about to do X, pull/dispatch/read this. Don't preload -- act when the trigger fires.
**Always have a sense of the skill before jumping into its references.** A skill body carries the decision-making; references are concrete contracts that assume a decision has been made.
