What it does

This skill is the only step that turns a proposed change to the ARIS research harness (its own skills and corpus files) into a real edit. Earlier read-only skills stage candidate patches in a pending folder; when you type /meta-apply and name patch numbers, this skill runs a fresh reviewer on each staged diff, refuses any patch the reviewer rejects, backs up the target file, applies the change with Edit or Write, and records a provenance stamp. The developer's explicit invocation is the approval step.

Great for

  • Developers maintaining the ARIS auto-research harness who have reviewed a /meta-optimize REPORT and want to accept specific patches
  • Maintainers who need an audit trail showing whether a landed change was reviewed by a same-family or a different-family model

Skip it if

  • Anyone wanting to apply code changes to an ordinary project: it only handles staged ARIS self-modification patches under .aris/meta/pending/
  • Unattended or automated runs: it is designed to be human-invoked only, and a reviewer KILL cannot be overridden, so blindly running 'all' without reading the REPORT risks changing the harness in unwanted ways

Try asking

  • “/meta-apply 1,3 after reading the REPORT from /meta-optimize”
  • “/meta-apply all to land every staged patch that passes the fresh review”
  • “land the staged patches”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Read the staged manifest and REPORT before naming patch numbers; the producer's pre-screen is advisory only and the fresh review decides.
  • Expect same-family reviews to produce only provisional stamps, which do not enable future auto-curation.
  • Check the backup folder under .aris/meta/backups/ if you need to roll a change back.
