intake SKILL.md skillA
intake from skillberry-ai/cap-evolve is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/intake@git:20261010.2b56481Pins git:20261010.2b56481 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Starts a cap-evolve optimization run. Interviews the user to decide what capability to optimize, which runner/optimizer/algorithm to use, and where the tasks and the scoring source live, then scaffolds .capevolve/project/ (adapter stub, capevolve.yaml, PROJECT.md). Use when someone asks to optimize or improve an agent capability against an eval and no project exists yet — "set up a run", "start optimizing X", "make X score higher on this benchmark". This is Phase 1 of the pipeline. For every…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# intake — collect inputs, scaffold the project
Turn a vague wish ("make this agent better at X") into a runnable project: a filled
`capevolve.yaml`, an adapter ready to implement, and **every NEEDED input resolved
before any budget is spent**. Intake is cheap; an unresolved input found three phases
later is a wasted run and a meaningless number.
## Ask, never fabricate — the core discipline of this phase
`inputs/INPUTS.md` classifies every input **NEEDED** or **RECOMMENDED**. For each
**NEEDED** input that is not already present, do not proceed:
- **Interactive / chat mode — ASK THE USER and wait.** Quote all three, they are in
`INPUTS.md` per input: (a) the exact path the input is expected at, (b) the command
or option that produces it, (c) the alternatives. Say what breaks without it.
- **Non-interactive** (`cap-evolve run` / the `orchestrate` skill, nobody to ask) —
write `BLOCKED: <input> — why it is needed — how to provide it` into `PROJECT.md`
and exit non-zero. A blocked-but-honest stop is correct; a green run on a guessed
input is not.
A fabricated dataset, scorer, trajectories path or gold answer does not unblock the run

How to install
mdr add skillberry-ai/cap-evolve/intake@sha256:e8c121728d1e3a54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.2b56481, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
