* Overview: The Self-Modification Primitive

Self Edit is the capability that makes Passepartout autonomous in the strongest sense: it can modify its own source code. Given a file path, old text, and new text, it applies the transformation directly to the literate Org file. Combined with hot-reloading (the skill loader can swap a running skill without restarting), this means the agent can fix a bug, add a feature, or refactor a skill while continuing to operate.

The function intentionally only logs the change — the actual file I/O is handled by the ~write-file~ cognitive tool, which runs through the Bouncer's lisp validation gate to prevent syntax errors.

* Implementation

** Self-Edit Logic
#+begin_src lisp
(defun self-improve-edit (filepath old-text new-text)
  "Applies a transformation to a source file."
  (declare (ignore old-text new-text))
  (harness-log "SELF-EDIT: Applying changes to ~a" filepath))
#+end_src

** Skill Registration
#+begin_src lisp
(defskill :passepartout-system-self-improve
  :priority 100
  :trigger (lambda (ctx) (declare (ignore ctx)) nil))

* Overview
When a skill file fails to compile or a runtime error occurs, Self Fix attempts to diagnose and repair the issue. It receives error logs from the skill loader, identifies the broken file, and generates a corrected version that is hot-reloaded into the running image.

* Implementation

** Self-Fix Logic
#+begin_src lisp
(defun self-improve-fix (skill-name error-log)
  "Attempts to diagnose and repair a broken skill."
  (declare (ignore error-log))
  (harness-log "SELF-FIX: Attempting repair of ~a..." skill-name))
