feat(skill): darwinian-evolver optional skill#26760
Merged

Conversation
Thin wrapper around Imbue's darwinian_evolver (AGPL-3.0, subprocess-only). Ships a working OpenRouter driver (parrot_openrouter.py), a snapshot inspector (show_snapshot.py), and a custom-problem template. SKILL.md has 58-char description, Pitfalls sourced from actually running the loop: non-viable seed trap, Azure content filter killing runs, loop.run() being a generator, nested-pickle snapshots, and aggressive default concurrency. Salvaged from #12719 by @Bihruze — original PR shipped 12,289 LOC across 61 files (29 Python modules, FastAPI dashboard, VS Code extension, benchmark hub, marketplace, etc.) which was far beyond the scope of the underlying issue (#336). This version stays at the ~700-LOC scope that issue actually asked for. Authorship of the original effort credited via AUTHOR_MAP entry and the SKILL.md author field. Verified end-to-end: seed 'Say {{ phrase }}' (score 0.000) evolved into 'Please repeat the following phrase exactly as it is, without any modifications or additional formatting: {{ phrase }}' (score 0.750) across 3 iterations on gpt-4o-mini via OpenRouter.

Summary
Adds
darwinian-evolveras an optional skill — a thin wrapper around Imbue's darwinian_evolver (AGPL-3.0, subprocess-only) for evolving prompts, regex, SQL, and small code snippets via LLM-driven evolutionary search.Salvaged from #12719 by @Bihruze. Their original PR shipped 12,289 LOC across 61 files (29 Python modules, FastAPI dashboard, VS Code extension, benchmark hub, marketplace, distill pipeline, Ray/WASM/Firecracker sandboxes) — well beyond the scope of issue #336, which asked for a thin skill that installs Imbue's CLI and walks the agent through writing a Problem definition. This version stays at that scope (~700 LOC).
Closes #336.
