#self-improvement
agentic-context-engineering
concept
ACE: context as evolving playbook; Generator/Reflector/Curator; incremental bullets only.
context-engineering
concept
Choosing what enters the LLM context; steering-not-teaching; tiers, Context Rot, compaction.
evolutionary-search-llm
concept
Evolutionary optimization for LLM programs: AlphaEvolve, DGM, Promptbreeder, ADAS, AFlow.
harness
concept
Acceptance + boundary + signal + fallback around the loop; matters more than model choice.
meta-context-engineering
concept
MCE: bi-level search over context *mechanism* + content; free-form skills, agentic crossover.
meta-harness
concept
Outer-loop optimizer that rewrites harness *programs*; same-model 6× spread.
recursive-self-improvement
concept
RSI: AI improving its own machinery; the near-term path is harness optimization, not weights.
reward-hacking
concept
Reward overfitting → hacking → tampering → alignment faking; acute in self-improvement loops.
self-improving-harness
concept
An LLM optimizing its own harness: STOP, Self-Harness, DGM; propose-evaluate-accept loops.
self-reflection
concept
Reflexion / Chain of Hindsight / Algorithm Distillation; ancestor of verifier + ralph-wiggum loops.
