SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill delegates coding tasks to Blackbox AI CLI, enabling a multi-model approach with an internal judge to select the best implementation, reducing manual comparisons and iteration time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-model code generation: dispatches tasks to several models (e.g., Claude, Codex, Gemini) and uses a built-in judge to pick the best result.
  • Interactive and batch workflows: supports interactive sessions, one-shot prompts, and checkpointed tasks for asynchronous work.
  • Easy integration: simple setup requiring Node.js, the Blackbox CLI, and an API key for access.

Quick Start

Configure your API key and start a sample task with blackbox to see auto-evaluation in action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use multi-model code generation to automatically select the best implementation?

Multi-model code generation dispatches coding tasks to several models like Claude, Codex, and Gemini, using a built-in judge to evaluate and pick the best implementation. This reduces manual comparisons and iteration time across software projects.

What do I need to set up before delegating coding tasks to Blackbox AI CLI?

To delegate coding tasks to Blackbox AI CLI, you need Node.js 20+ installed, the Blackbox CLI installed and configured with an API key, and a PTY-enabled terminal for interactive sessions.

Can I run interactive coding sessions and one-shot prompts with multi-model evaluation?

Yes, multi-model evaluation supports interactive coding sessions, one-shot prompts, and batch workflows. It includes optional checkpoints for asynchronous work to help manage long-running coding tasks.

How does an internal judge work when comparing AI-generated code?

An internal judge works by automatically evaluating the code outputs from multiple dispatched models. It selects the single best result from the generated options, eliminating the need for manual review and comparison.

Why do I need a PTY-enabled terminal for AI code generation?

You need a PTY-enabled terminal for AI code generation because interactive coding sessions require pseudo-terminal support to properly handle real-time inputs and outputs during multi-model task delegation.
