SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps initialize and verify a zicato workspace without spending real LLM budget, reducing setup errors before running an inner-harness evolution loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace Scaffolding: Creates the .zicato configuration and lineage files for a fresh project.
  • Adapter Registration: Registers a Google ADK entrypoint and one or more mutable source trees with import-path validation.
  • Deterministic Smoke Testing: Runs the vendored mock target through mutation discovery, proposal, application, snapshotting, tournament evaluation, persistence, and journaling.
  • Use Case: When introducing zicato to a new multi-agent project, use this Skill to validate the adapter, mutable markers, artifact tree, and end-to-end plumbing before authorizing real model calls.

Quick Start

Use the zicato bootstrap skill to initialize and validate a new workspace against the deterministic mock target, then report whether the artifact tree and smoke-test loop completed successfully.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a multi-agent workspace setup without spending real LLM budget?▼

A deterministic smoke test validates the mutation testing harness and Google ADK adapter registration without spending real LLM budget. It runs a vendored mock target through mutation discovery, application, and tournament evaluation to verify the end-to-end plumbing.

What is needed to bootstrap mutation testing for a new multi-agent project?▼

Bootstrapping mutation testing requires a configured zicato environment, a Google ADK entrypoint, and importable mutable source trees. A vendored mock target or deterministic test harness is also needed to validate the adapter and mutable markers.

How do I register a Google ADK adapter and mutable source trees for mutation testing?▼

Register a Google ADK adapter and mutable source trees by running the workspace bootstrap process. This performs import-path validation for the adapter entrypoint and sets up the mutable harness tree for mutation-surface audits.

Does the zicato bootstrap support deterministic mutation discovery and tournament evaluation?▼

Yes, the bootstrap supports deterministic mutation discovery and tournament evaluation. It runs a vendored mock target through proposal, application, snapshotting, tournament evaluation, persistence, and journaling to verify the loop.

When should I run a workspace bootstrap before authorizing real model calls?▼

Run a workspace bootstrap before authorizing real model calls when introducing zicato to a new multi-agent project. This validates the adapter, mutable markers, artifact tree, and end-to-end plumbing without wasting real LLM budget.
