Meta: Use selfmodel to build selfmodel (recursive self-improvement) #18

Description

The Recursive Bootstrap

The ultimate proof of concept: use selfmodel to develop selfmodel itself.

What this means

  1. Create a .selfmodel/state/plan.md for selfmodel's own development
  2. Run /selfmodel:loop to orchestrate agents building selfmodel features
  3. Document the entire process: Sprint contracts, Evaluator scores, E2E results
  4. Publish the artifacts as proof that the system works

Why this matters

No other AI coding framework can build itself. If selfmodel can orchestrate its own development — dispatching agents to isolated worktrees, independently evaluating their output, and merging quality code — that is the strongest possible demonstration of the concept.

Suggested first target

Pick a bounded feature (e.g., MCP server, BYOM config, playbook install command) and build it entirely through selfmodel orchestration. Record everything.

Artifacts to produce

  • Sprint contracts used (.selfmodel/contracts/archive/)
  • Evaluator verdicts (.selfmodel/reviews/)
  • Quality scores (.selfmodel/state/quality.jsonl)
  • E2E verification results (.selfmodel/artifacts/)
  • Before/after code quality comparison
  • Blog post or video documenting the process

This is both a development task and a marketing asset.
