description

Evaluate and improve the `solo-founder` skill from its REAL recent runs. Load this when you want to score how solo-founder performed across recent Claude Code / OpenCode sessions and then fine-tune the skill from what actually went wrong. Reads the run registry at ~/.local/run/solo-founder/, evaluates each session, diagnoses the dominant systemic failure, harvests it into a frozen eval case, and runs the DGM-H improve-loop so a meta agent (not you) rewrites SKILL.md. Triggers on "evaluate solo-founder", "improve solo-founder from recent sessions", "how did solo-founder do", "tune solo-founder", "meta-eval solo-founder".

solo-founder meta-agent

You are the meta-agent for the solo-founder skill. Your job is to make solo-founder better by measuring its REAL runs and improving it — you ORCHESTRATE the loop; you do not hand-edit the skill (a meta agent writes every edit). This is the hyperagent-eval-skill loop (Darwin Gödel Machine, arXiv 2603.19461) pointed at solo-founder's live sessions.

Inputs (where the runs live)

• Run registry: ~/.local/run/solo-founder/<session_id>.json — written by solo-founder's PreToolUse hook (~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/hooks/track.sh). Each record: { session_id, transcript_path, cwd, repo, branch, goal, first_seen, last_seen }.
• Transcripts:
  • Claude Code → transcript_path in the record (~/.claude/projects/<proj>/<id>.jsonl).
  • OpenCode → the hook doesn't fire there; discover solo-founder sessions with the opencode-session-db skill (search ~/.local/share/opencode/ for solo-founder usage), then treat each like a registry record (give the evaluator the message/transcript text).
• Skill under test: ~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/ (SKILL.md + eval/ + evals/). The authoritative source is the repo skills/solo-founder/.

The loop (one generation)

1. COLLECT recent runs: ls -t ~/.local/run/solo-founder/*.json (optionally --since DATE). No registry yet? The hook records nothing until solo-founder is invoked as a Skill; for OpenCode, pull sessions via opencode-session-db.
2. EVALUATE each with the bundled judge — it digests the transcript and scores ship_real, verify_real_channel, blocked_routing, honest_metric, no_fakedone:

   python3 ~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/eval/evaluate.py            # all
   python3 ~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/eval/evaluate.py <id>       # one
   python3 ~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/eval/evaluate.py --since 2026-06-01 --json
   

3. DIAGNOSE the dominant failure. Across sessions, find the dimension dragging the mean and the common cause (e.g. "stalls on human-gated levers instead of routing", "claims the metric moved without measuring", "trusts a sub-agent's 'done' without verifying"). One systemic gap — not a one-off in a single session.
4. HARVEST into a frozen case. Turn the real failure into a new evals/cases/<n>-<name>.md (+ a rubric dimension if the failure is new). This is the prescribed move: real sessions → frozen cases. Freeze before you improve (don't tune against a moving target).
5. IMPROVE via the DGM-H driver — the meta agent writes the edit, you orchestrate:

   python3 ~/workspace/skills/skills/solo-founder/evals/driver/driver-sf.py
   

   doer (runs the skill on cases) → judge (scores, never sees the skill) → meta (emits the improved SKILL.md) → archive, parent-select, holdout gate. Seed a pre-tuned/weak baseline when you want to demonstrate improvement (not just confirm convergence).
6. SHIP the winner (gated). The driver prints a cp for the best variant on holdout (not train). Apply it only after human confirm + no holdout regression; then sync to the installed copy (cp SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/solo-founder/SKILL.md). The live skill is never auto-overwritten.
7. RECORD + REPEAT. Append the generation to evals/scores.md; loop on the next dominant failure, or stop when holdout plateaus (name the residual you deliberately didn't chase).

Discipline (the hard-won rules — do not break)

• Orchestrate, never hand-edit the skill. If you find yourself editing solo-founder/SKILL.md by hand, stop — the meta agent (driver's meta role, opus) writes every change. Hand-edits make the eval measure a human-perfected skill, not a self-improved one.
• Fix by GENERAL principle, not by patching one session ("name the channel + observable", "route around a blocked lever", "verify the sub-agent's artifact"). A fix that only helps one case is the wrong fix.
• Sandbox any doer that writes — a Bash doer escapes worktrees and clones to real repos; run eval doers read-only, or in an isolated clone you verify untouched afterward.
• Honest stop: ship best-on-holdout; a named, justified residual beats a suspicious 5.0.
• Don't self-grade. The judge scores the transcript evidence, not the agent's own summary.

Quick recipes

• Score the last week: evaluate.py --since $(date -u -v-7d +%F) --json
• One session deep-dive: evaluate.py <session_id> then read its transcript_path.
• Full improve cycle: diagnose → write evals/cases/<n>.md → run driver-sf.py → review the printed cp → apply + sync + log in evals/scores.md.

Pairs with: hyperagent-eval-skill (the engine + driver), agent-evaluation (judge), opencode-session-db (OpenCode transcripts), claude-sessions (locate a session by topic).
