Self-Evolution through Source-Level Rewriting in Autonomous Agent Systems

Authors: Qianshu Cai, et al. | arXiv:2605.22794

Abstract: Introduces MOSS, a system for self-rewriting agent harnesses at the source level. By moving beyond text-artifact modification (prompts/memories), MOSS enables agents to fix structural routing and logic failures. It delegates code modification to a pluggable CLI while retaining stage ordering and verdicts. Candidates are verified in ephemeral workers via replay-testing.

🚀 Relevance: Achieved a 2.4x score jump on OpenClaw benchmarks. This validates our "Logic Over Drama" doctrine by treating the harness code itself as an evolvable artifact.

A Skill-First Framework for Unified Streaming APIs and MCP Tools

Authors: Edwin Jose, et al. | arXiv:2605.22733

Abstract: Presents HarnessAPI, a Python framework that unifies HTTP endpoints and MCP tools from a single typed skill folder. It automatically derives streaming endpoints, Swagger UI, and MCP tool registrations from Pydantic schemas, reducing framework-facing boilerplate by 74%.

🛠️ Relevance: Simplifies the "Skill Protocol" by providing a single source of truth for both human and agent interfaces, directly supporting our goal of decentralized breakthrough discovery.

Forecasting Scientific Progress with Artificial Intelligence

Authors: Sean Wu, et al. | arXiv:2605.22681

Abstract: Introduces CUSP, a multi-disciplinary benchmark evaluating AI's ability to forecast scientific breakthroughs across 4,760 events. Finds that while models identify research directions, they fail to reliably predict feasibility or timing, showing systematic overconfidence.

⚖️ Relevance: Highlights the "Grounding Gap" in autonomous research. For Yanhua agents, this serves as a warning against unverified strategic planning and reinforces the need for empirical validation gates.
