From c0ec6aeae3ac85ee4970cde9f24a052f5bf04156 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikhail Petrov Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 03:32:59 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(skill-eval): whole-skill outcome-eval harness + map-task body hardening + skill eval-sets Whole-skill optimization (pilot: map-task), Approach B (measure -> human-edit), body-only: - Harness: tests/skills_eval/whole_skill/spike_runner.py - seeds an isolated temp (.claude + .map/scripts + fixture repo, git init), runs `claude -p /map-task ST-001` with hybrid scoring (deterministic scope/task gates from git diff + a trace-cited LLM judge; QUALITY = gate*(0.5+0.5*judge)); expected_outcome-aware (complete|blocked). - Fixtures: scope-trap (F2) + impossible/blocker (F3) under tests/skills_eval/fixtures/whole_skill/ (real mini-repos + committed .map plan/blueprint). - Finding (2 fixtures, 12 runs, 2 llm-council consults): generic scope/blocker PROSE in a thin-orchestration body is LOW-LEVERAGE - body-good == body-bad == QUALITY 1.0, because the shared actor/monitor agents enforce those behaviors. The body's real lever is sequencing, context relay, retry/termination, and the final report contract. - map-task body hardening (body-owned surfaces): formalized the Outcome Report (COMPLETE + a new BLOCKED schema with required fields), explicit retry-exhaustion/impossible-in-scope termination; fixed a dead reference, a placeholder example, and an awkward artifact section. Regression-proved: QUALITY 1.0 on F1+F3 (no outcome regression). Honest claim: cleaner/more complete body, no regression - not a coding-quality gain (that needs the shared agent prompts). - Docs: docs/whole-skill-optimization-{notes,flow}.md (method + reusable flow for other skills); docs/SKILL-EVAL.md (description-tuning engine guide) + USAGE.md pointer. - 13 description-optimize eval-sets for the remaining /map-* skills (tests/skills_eval/fixtures/). - Tooling hygiene: exclude the whole_skill fixture mini-repos from pytest/ruff/pyright/mypy (they are intentionally-broken seeded repos). make check: 2257 passed, 3 skipped; ruff/mypy/pyright clean; check-render byte-identical.

When you sweep many skills these +gotchas bite — they are the reason a sweep "hangs": + +### 1. Disable the Telegram hook during `claude -p` runs + +Every `claude -p` subprocess starts a fresh Claude session, which fires the **telegram-bridge +plugin's `SessionStart` hook**. That hook launches a `tg listen` listener which contends on the +shared Telegram file lock — concurrent/seeded sessions can **hang** waiting on it. + +- skill-eval already ships a built-in mitigation: `dispatcher._eval_subprocess_env` sets + `TG_STATE_DIR` to a config-less path inside the throwaway cwd, so the listener finds no + `config.json` and exits. But it still **creates stale lock files** (`~/.claude/telegram/listen.*mapeval*.lock`). +- **Belt-and-suspenders for a big sweep:** temporarily disable the plugin globally and restore it + after: + ```bash + # before the sweep — disable + python3 - <<'PY' + import json, pathlib + p = pathlib.Path.home()/".claude"/"settings.json" + d = json.loads(p.read_text()) + d.setdefault("enabledPlugins", d.get("enabledPlugins", {}))["telegram-bridge@azalio"] = False + p.write_text(json.dumps(d, indent=2)) + PY + # ... run the sweep ... + # after the sweep — re-enable (do this in a finally/always step; don't leave it off) + ``` +- `tg send` (pushing progress to the user) still works while the plugin is disabled — it is a + standalone script, independent of the SessionStart auto-listen hook. + +### 2. Timeout per run — 1 hour + +A single skill's `optimize` (5 iter × ~9 = ~45 serial `claude -p` calls) can run ~30 min; a stuck +`claude -p` can hang indefinitely. **Wrap every run in a hard 1-hour timeout** and continue the +sweep on failure (a timed-out skill simply isn't applied): + +```bash +for skill in <small...large>; do + timeout 3600 uv run mapify skill-eval optimize "$skill" \ + --eval-set "tests/skills_eval/fixtures/${skill//-/_}_optimize_eval_set.json" \ + --iterations 5 --apply >> /tmp/skilleval-sweep.log 2>&1 || \ + echo "SKILL $skill FAILED/TIMED OUT" >> /tmp/skilleval-sweep.log +done +``` + +### 3. Monitor the run — it can hang + +Run the sweep in the background and **poll its log**; do not assume progress. Watch for: a skill +with no new log lines for many minutes (stuck `claude -p` → let the 1h timeout kill it), or repeated +`not_trigger` (eval-set / skill-name problem). Push per-skill progress to Telegram with `tg send`. + +### 4. `--apply` serially, never overlap with another run + +`--apply` re-renders all generated trees (`.claude/`, `.codex/`, `templates/`) and `git add`s them. +If a second skill's `optimize` is seeding its temp cwd from `.claude/` at that moment, it can copy a +half-rendered tree. **Keep the sweep serial** (one skill fully done — including apply — before the +next starts). `optimize --apply` does a **single** eval run then applies from the in-memory result — +no double-spend. + +## Troubleshooting + +| Symptom | Cause / fix | +|---|---| +| `claude not found` | `claude` CLI not on `$PATH`.

The scope-trap is **too weak** — the trivial fix never created any pressure to touch `config.py`, + so stripping the body's scope rules changed nothing observable. +2. **Bigger insight:** for a THIN-ORCHESTRATION skill, scope discipline is largely enforced by the + shared **actor/monitor agents + orchestrator**, NOT by the `map-task` SKILL.md body. So body-only + mutation may have **little leverage** on this behavior. This directly bears on the user's + "mutate SKILL.md body only" scope decision — for some behaviors the lever is the shared agents. + +Next test (SPIKE-2): run the **blocker fixture (F3)** good-vs-bad. Blocker handling +("recognize impossible-in-scope → report blocker, don't create out-of-scope file / don't fake +complete") is more plausibly governed by the BODY (the agents may not encode it). If F3 ALSO shows +no gap → strong evidence body-only optimization of map-task has limited leverage (recommend widening +scope to agent prompts, or pick skills where the body is the dominant lever). If F3 discriminates → +optimize the body's blocker handling. + +## SPIKE-2 RESULT (blocker F3, 2026-06-05) — ALSO no gap (CONCLUSIVE) + +Body-Good ×3 AND Body-Bad ×3 ALL = **QUALITY 1.0** (every run: zero files changed, `constants.py` +NOT created, NOT marked complete, clear blocker reported with a contract-widening recommendation; +judge blocker_reporting=5). median gap = **0.000**. Runs were fast (51–85s) — the agent recognized +impossibility immediately and stopped. + +**CONCLUSION (two fixtures, 12 runs):** for the thin-orchestration skill `map-task`, the SKILL.md +**body is NOT the lever** for the core governance outcomes (scope discipline, blocker handling). +Stripping the body's scope/blocker prose changed nothing — those behaviors are enforced by the +shared **actor/monitor agents + orchestrator + base-model competence**. Body-only optimization of a +thin orchestrator has **low leverage** on outcome quality. + +Implications: +- The body IS the right lever for what it UNIQUELY controls: which orchestrator commands run + their + order, prerequisite handling, the completion-report format, and the trigger description — not + correctness/scope/blocker quality. +- To move map-task's big outcomes you must optimize the **shared agent prompts** + (`.claude/agents/{actor,monitor,research-agent}.md`) — i.e. widen the mutation scope beyond the + body (revisit the user's "body-only" decision), OR pick skills where the body dominates (prose + skills like map-explain/map-review, or behaviors the agents don't encode). +- Honest "ideal map-task" deliverable: fix the body's real DEFECTS (placeholder example, a dead + "What this command CANNOT do" reference, awkward artifact section; add concise-report guidance per + the judge's D4) and regression-prove it stays outcome-equivalent (QUALITY 1.0 on F1+F3) — a cleaner + body, validated no-regression, rather than a fictional metric-driven gain the lever can't produce. + +## map-task BODY IMPROVEMENT — applied + regression-proved (2026-06-05) + +Edited the body-owned surfaces (council Tier-1 + defect cleanup), source +`templates_src/skills/map-task/SKILL.md.jinja` then `make render-templates`: +- **Outcome Report formalized** with required fields (`Subtask, Status, Files Modified, Validation`, + + `Blocker/Needed`); added the missing **BLOCKED outcome report** (previously only COMPLETE existed). +- **Explicit termination:** retries exhausted OR impossible-in-scope → STOP, emit BLOCKED, don't + fake-complete / expand scope. +- Fixed defects: placeholder example (`/map-task <typical args>` → real example), dead "What this + command CANNOT do" reference, awkward artifact section. + +Validation: `make check` fully green (2257 passed, ruff/mypy/pyright clean, check-render byte-id). +Regression on improved body — **QUALITY 1.0 on F1 (scope) ×3 AND F3 (blocker) ×3** (judge=5 each) +⇒ no outcome regression.

Previously a non-strict scope leak detected by validate_mutation_boundary only produced a warn-log and the MONITOR gate passed silently (hard-block only under MAP_STRICT_SCOPE). Now, at validate_step("2.4"), a `warning` routes back to the Actor as feedback the FIRST time it is seen per subtask (valid=False + actionable "revert the out-of-scope changes OR escalate for a contract update"), so the actor self-corrects in the existing retry loop — without a hard block. - StepState.scope_feedback_subtasks (persisted, to_dict/from_dict) bounds the nudge to ONCE per subtask, so a persistent false positive (affected_files drift) cannot burn the retry budget — after the single nudge the gate passes. - Strict-mode (MAP_STRICT_SCOPE=1) hard-reject path is unchanged. - Edited the templates_src .jinja source and re-rendered (.map/scripts + templates). - Tests: test_warning_routes_feedback_to_actor_once (orchestrator, incl. once-guard pass-through) + test_warning_on_untracked_new_out_of_scope_file (validator). make check: 2259 passed, 3 skipped; check-render byte-identical.

Add a section that directs anyone improving a skill's BODY/logic (outcome quality) to the worked, reusable flow + harness instead of starting from scratch: docs/whole-skill-optimization-flow.md (+ notes), tests/skills_eval/whole_skill/ spike_runner.py, and the key finding (prose scope/correctness discipline is low-leverage for thin orchestrators; the levers are the affected_files contract + mechanical validators; prose pays off for report format + trigger description).
