title: "evo: an autoresearch orchestrator for codebases"
abstract: >-
  evo is a plugin for agentic frameworks that optimizes code through
  experiments. Given a codebase, it discovers metrics to optimize, sets up the
  evaluation, and runs experiments in a loop using tree search over parallel
  semi-autonomous agents, keeping changes that improve the score and discarding
  those that do not.
