shinka-setup

To generate a ShinkaEvolve task scaffold, provide a task description and target language. The tool automatically creates evaluate.py and initial.<ext> files, mapping the language to the correct extension for pipeline integration.

The I/O contract ensures stable input and output interfaces between the evaluator and the candidate script. This stable contract guarantees that generated evaluate.py and initial.<ext> files interact predictably during code evolution.

Yes, you can generate initial scripts for multiple languages. The tool detects the target language from your description, maps it to the correct file extension, and supports multi-language outputs for your experiments.

No, generating a ShinkaEvolve task scaffold will not overwrite existing evaluate.py or initial.<ext> files. The tool detects and respects existing files unless explicit consent is given, preventing accidental data loss.

Generated task scaffolds integrate directly with run_evo.py and the Shinka pipeline. The tool produces baseline solutions and evaluation harnesses formatted specifically for these workflows, ensuring seamless execution.

Yes, PyYAML is a required dependency to create ShinkaEvolve task scaffolds. You must have both the shinka package and PyYAML installed in your environment before generating evaluation harnesses.
