System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Understudy is agent improvement infrastructure: it helps a coding agent improve its developer's LLM system from real traces. This skill is the orchestrator — it gives your agent the loop and routes each stage to exactly one worker skill. It does not do the work inline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates trace → evaluate → optimize (GEPA, automatic prompt evolution) → compare → deploy via worker skills.
  • Local-first workflow with no required registration, auth, or hosted gateway; artifacts remain on the developer's machine.
  • Produces auditable artifacts and safety gates to govern when data is uploaded or deployed, plus a structured knowledge base for improvements.
  • Routes each workload step to a single, appropriate worker skill and generates an Understudy Agent Improvement Report when complete.

Quick Start

Run the understudy orchestrator on your local codebase to begin capturing traces and evaluating improvements.
