The bigger picture goal here is to explore using prompts to generate new prompts
I see this as the same as a reasoning loop. This is the approach I use to quickly code up pseudo reasoning loops on local projects. Someone had asked in another thread "how can I get the LLM to generate a whole book", well, just like this. If it can keep prompting itself to ask "what would chapter N be?" until "THE END", then you get your book.

The last commit is from April 2023, should this post maybe have a (2023) tag? Two years is eons in this space.
Crazy that OpenAI only launched o1 in September 2024. Some of these ideas have been swirling for a while but it feels like we're in a special moment where they're getting turned into products.
Well, I remember Chain of Thought being proposed as early as the GPT-3 release (2 years before chatGPT).
I had a different title. It was somehow changed to the name of the repository.
The author is Co-founder of Databricks, creator of K Prize, so an early adopter.
I love this! My take on it for MCP: https://github.com/kordless/EvolveMCP
This is kind of like a self generating agentic context.. cool. I think regular agents, especially adversarial agents, are easier to get focused on most types of problems though.
Still clever.

I feel that often getting LLMs to do things like mathematical problems or citation is much harder than simply writing software to achieve that same task.
Trying to save state in a non-deterministic system, not the best idea. Those things need to be externalised.
Excellent fun. Now just to create a prompt to show iterated LLMs are turing complete.
Let's see Paul Allen's prompt.
LLM quine when?
Repeat this sentence exactly.

Should definitely get a date tag.
I was leaving this one out, seems like a gag when you read it :D
It's part of why they love agents and tools like cursor -> turns a problem that could've been one prompt and a few hundred tokens into dozens of prompts and thousands of tokens ;)
