> Larger composition, though, starts to run into typical software design problems

I've been seeing the same thing. Where agents are great solving the immediate task, but as changes compound they run into software & architectural design problems. I created https://github.com/andonimichael/arxitect to help at least have coding agents self reflect on their software design. But I really like your approach to self-modification and improving the agent itself instead of just teaching it another skill in it's context.
