What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you determine whether a specific system is truly ready for automated optimization by forcing clarity on the editable surface, the optimization metric, and the experiment time budget.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Editable-surface gatekeeping: Identifies what files/configs/prompts/parameters an agent can safely and reversibly change without unpredictable dependency cascades.
• Metric readiness and suitability: Converts “performing well” into an automated, bounded-time, scalar (or weighted scalar) metric with a credible business linkage and sandbox computability.
• Time-budget feasibility: Ensures the system can support hundreds of experiments in an isolated environment within a practical overnight cycle.

Quick Start

Use karpathy-triplet-diag to evaluate a concrete pipeline or codebase by answering the editable-surface, metric, and time-budget questions until the Skill produces either a program.md spec or a blocker report.
