SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Iterative improvement of Agents and Skills requires coordinating tests, prompt changes, reviews, backups, and state recovery across multiple rounds, which is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually. meta-iterate automates the orchestration of test → optimize → review → re-test loops, preserves reproducible plan files, and enforces backup and synchronization to ensure safe, resumable optimization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-phase strategy: supports warmup, baseline, sampling, and full verification strategies depending on testcase scale.
  • End-to-end orchestration: generates timestamped iterate plans, recovers interrupted runs, invokes meta-prompt-engineer and meta-reviewer subagents, and writes learnings and changelogs.
  • Operational guardrails: enforces backups, plan persistence, status sync, and strict stop/rollback rules to avoid regressions.
  • Use Case: accelerate improvement of a translation Agent by running warmup samples, creating a baseline, iterating on sampled cases, and validating changes on the full testcase set before applying them.

Quick Start

Start an iterative optimization run for the agent named my-agent in source/agents/my-agent on platform codebuddycli with target_score 95.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-round testing and optimization for an AI agent?

Automated multi-round optimization for an AI agent is orchestrated by coordinating iterative test, prompt change, review, and re-test loops. This preserves reproducible plan files and enforces backup synchronization to ensure safe, resumable optimization cycles.

What is the best way to manage interrupted test runs and state recovery during agent optimization?

Managing interrupted test runs during agent optimization requires generating timestamped iterate plans that persist state. The system automatically recovers interrupted runs, enforces backups, and synchronizes status to safely resume multi-iteration workflows.

How do I implement baseline, sampling, and full verification strategies for prompt engineering?

Implementing baseline, sampling, and full verification strategies for prompt engineering involves applying multi-phase testing. The system runs warmup samples, creates a baseline, iterates on sampled cases, and validates prompt changes on the full testcase set before applying them.

Can I use subagents to review and engineer prompts during automated testing cycles?

Using subagents to review and engineer prompts during automated testing cycles is fully supported. The orchestration system invokes meta-prompt-engineer and meta-reviewer subagents to apply changes and write learnings and changelogs across iterations.

How do I prevent regressions when iterating on agent performance and testcases?

Preventing regressions when iterating on agent performance requires operational guardrails that enforce strict stop and rollback rules. The system manages plan persistence and status synchronization to avoid quality drops across testcases.

Does iterative agent optimization work for large testcase scales?

Iterative agent optimization scales to large testcase sets by using a multi-phase strategy. It handles warmup, baseline creation, sampled iterations, and full verification across testcases to improve output quality safely at scale.
