SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turn ad-hoc guesses and one-off tweaks into a systematic, never-ending experimentation pipeline that reliably finds measurable improvements for any metric-driven project. It removes the manual coordination burden of proposing, implementing, measuring, and deciding on changes so teams can continuously optimize performance, ads, code quality, ML training, or custom domains.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuous Experimentation Orchestration: Spawns a small agent team (researcher, executor, analyst) to propose experiments, implement changes in isolated worktrees, run reproducible measurements, and decide keep versus discard.
  • Domain Templates & Measurement Contracts: Ships templates for ML training, web performance, ad optimization, code quality, and custom domains so experiments use domain-appropriate metrics and commands.
  • Local Learning Layer: Optionally trains a tiny GPU-backed predictor from results history to prioritize high-probability proposals after sufficient experiments.
  • Use Case: Automatically iterate on Lighthouse optimizations, A/B ad creatives, or small ML hyperparameter tweaks and record every experiment in results.tsv for auditability and model-driven prioritization.

Quick Start

Use the karpathy skill to start an autonomous experimentation loop that measures a baseline, proposes targeted changes, runs them in isolated branches, and reports keep/discard decisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate continuous experiments to improve web performance metrics?

You can automate continuous experiments by spawning an agent team that proposes changes, applies them in isolated git worktrees, runs reproducible measurements, and evaluates keep versus discard decisions for each experiment to systematically improve your measurable performance metric.

What is an autonomous experimentation loop for ML training and code quality?

An autonomous experimentation loop for ML training and code quality systematically proposes single-change experiments, applies them to isolated git branches, runs deterministic measurement commands, and logs the results to continuously optimize metrics without manual coordination.

Do I need git worktree access and a reproducible measurement command to run autonomous experiments?

Yes, you need git worktree and branch access for isolated experiments along with a deterministic, reproducible measurement command to establish baselines and reliably evaluate whether each proposed single-change experiment improves the target metric.

Can I use a local learning layer to prioritize future ML hyperparameter experiments?

Yes, after accumulating sufficient experiment history in your results log, a local GPU-backed learning layer can optionally train a tiny predictor to prioritize high-probability ML hyperparameter proposals for subsequent optimization iterations.

Does the autonomous experimentation approach work for ad optimization and custom domains?

Yes, the autonomous experimentation approach works for ad optimization and custom domains by utilizing domain templates and measurement contracts, allowing you to define specific metrics and commands for any measurable, git-accessible target.

How does isolated branch experimentation prevent metric regression in continuous optimization?

Isolated branch experimentation prevents metric regression by testing proposed changes in separate git worktrees, ensuring only modifications that demonstrably improve the reproducible measurement command results are merged back into the main branch.
