Getting started with GEP (Genome Evolution Protocol) -- common questions

[autogame-17]

This thread collects common questions about getting started with the Genome Evolution Protocol.

What is GEP?
GEP treats agent behavior as a genome. Instead of manually tuning prompts or configurations, GEP enables agents to evolve through gene expression, mutation, and selection -- similar to biological evolution.

Core concepts:

• Genes -- Individual behavioral traits or capabilities
• Capsules -- Packaged gene collections that can be shared between agents
• Mutation -- Random variation in gene expression
• Selection -- Keeping genes that produce better outcomes
• Evolution -- The cumulative process of mutation + selection over time

Common questions:

1. How do I define my first gene?
2. How does evolver decide which mutations to keep?
3. Can I share evolved genes between different agents?
4. How do I measure if evolution is actually improving my agent?
