joust-engine

Run a Joust Engine tournament in one of two modes. The sigil is @@JE[:N][:M[:Z]] — N (optional) = attempts per round, M = passes (1 single, 2 two), Z = grand loops (Z>=2 = an UNATTENDED chain that, per loop, runs a full tournament, implements the winning proposal into your real repo on a new JE-<loop>-<random7> branch, runs fail-closed verify, and opens one PR — never auto-merged; Z=1 or omitted = today's isolated tournament; Z capped at Z_MAX=5); N may be inferred from a prose model spec like '2 opus, 2 glm 5.2, 1 codex high' (sum of counts = N, the items become the per-attempt Mixed assignment) or the Top Mixed preset ('top mixed' + N spread over opus/glm-5.2/codex-high), and bare @@JE falls back to the interactive model gate. A marker-adjacent task-size word (short/medium/long, e.g. @@JE:5 long) optionally overrides the per-attempt turn/timeout limits, which otherwise scale to the orchestrator's estimate of task size. First ask the user which model quality to use for the attempts (Anthropic Opus, Sonnet, H

Benchmark generation throughput (cold vs hot tok/s) for every model the joust-engine system can call (Anthropic / GLM / local MLX / codex / MiniMax / claudex via a local CLIProxyAPI proxy). Two workload profiles — light (tiny paragraph) and heavy (>5k-token input context + long >5k-token output, representative of coding/agentic work). Thin wrapper over bin/je-bench.mjs. Use when the user asks to benchmark model speed, measure tokens/second, compare cold vs hot throughput across providers, or run /je-bench.

Fable Engine (@@FE[:N]) — the fast composer variant of the Joust Engine tournament. One WIDE parallel round of N draft plans (mixed providers, blind-staged by the engine's composeOnly mode), then the ORCHESTRATING model itself reviews every draft at once, composes the best composite plan (crediting what it took from each candidate, discarding the rest, adding its own ideas), implements it with unit tests, and reports. No judging councils, no second round, no steelman loop — a ~30-minute turnaround instead of hours. Designed for a frontier-class orchestrator (Fable/Opus tier); it trades the blind council's independent ranking and second security gate for speed, so keep @@JE runs as the periodic calibration baseline. Trigger on the sigil @@FE[:N] (e.g. @@FE, @@FE:8), case-insensitive, optional marker-adjacent task-size word (short/medium/long).
