croq-tune-iterative

name	croq-tune-iterative
description	Durable wrapper for GPU kernel tuning. Use when the user wants to combine durable-request with croq-tune, asks for a checkpointed tuning workflow, or wants human confirmation between autonomous tuning invocation leases while keeping the base /croq-tune protocol unchanged.

Croq-Tune-Iterative — Durable Boundary Wrapper

croq-tune-iterative is a wrapper entrypoint. It preserves the existing autonomous /croq-tune protocol and adds durable checkpoints only at invocation boundaries.

Purpose

Use this skill when the user wants both of these properties at once:

• the inner tuning loop remains autonomous and protocol-driven
• the outer conversation does not end silently between invocation leases

Wrapper Contract

1. Parse the same invocation fields as /croq-tune
2. Present a durable checkpoint before the first launch
3. Delegate actual tuning work to the existing croqtile-tuner agent or equivalent inner tuning executor
4. Do not inject user checkpoints inside the active tuning loop
5. When the inner run returns, present a durable checkpoint with continue, inspect, switch, or stop options
6. If the user chooses continue, re-enter the same session by delegating again

Boundary Semantics

Treat one autonomous tuning invocation lease as the atomic task boundary.

Not a checkpoint boundary:

• a single round
• reinforce.sh
• one KEEP or DISCARD
• any mid-loop milestone that remains autonomously resumable

Checkpoint boundary:

• before first launch
• after inner return
• before changing invocation arguments
• on a true blocker that requires human input

Forbidden Behavior

• Do not modify .claude/skills/croq-tune/SKILL.md
• Do not paraphrase the tuning loop into a second implementation
• Do not ask the human questions from inside the active inner tuning loop
• Do not hand-edit tuning state files owned by the inner tuner

Compatibility Outcome

• /croq-tune remains autonomous and unchanged
• croq-tune-iterative becomes the durable, checkpointed wrapper variant
• both variants share the same underlying tuning harness and artifacts
