// Load top-performing Shinka programs into agent context using `shinka.utils.load_programs_to_df`, and emit a compact Markdown bundle for iteration planning.
Create ShinkaEvolve task scaffolds from a target directory and task description, producing `evaluate.py` and `initial.<ext>` (multi-language). Use when asked to set up new ShinkaEvolve tasks, evaluation harnesses, or baseline programs for ShinkaEvolve.
Run existing ShinkaEvolve tasks with the `shinka_run` CLI from a task directory (`evaluate.py` + `initial.<ext>`). Use when an agent needs to launch async evolution runs quickly with required `--results_dir`, generation count, and strict namespaced keyword overrides.
Convert an existing codebase in the current working directory into a ShinkaEvolve task directory by snapshotting the relevant code, adding evolve blocks, and generating `evaluate.py` plus Shinka runner/config files. Use when the user wants to optimize existing code with Shinka instead of creating a brand-new task from a natural-language description.

Extract the strongest programs from a Shinka run and package them into a context file that coding agents can load directly.
