Try it yourself with custom-built or unnamed agent
My agent project lives in the repo at [path to repo]. Add a way for the agent to propose and make a small change to its own code, such as [small improvement, e.g. add a new tool or fix a typo], on a separate branch with tests run first. Finish when it has produced one commit on that branch, and don't merge or push until I've reviewed the diff.
