The developer of AgentSelfEdit, an open-source tool that rewrites its own system prompts based on execution feedback, encountered unexpected issues with its v0.3.0 release. This version introduced role separation, allowing different models to handle execution, analysis, and judging tasks. Despite the theoretical benefits of using specialized models, the initial test runs with separated roles failed to generate any proposals for prompt edits, resulting in no improvement over the baseline. This outcome suggests that role separation is not merely a routing improvement but a fundamental change to the learning surface, as the analyzer's input is directly affected by the executor's output.
