Turn a Caveman optimization observation into an operator-chosen candidate with a paired baseline evaluation. Use when asked to inspect or evaluate a Caveman optimization report. Needs explicit approval.
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
# Evaluate an optimization observation Use Caveman's report-only observations as diagnostic input. They describe recorded aggregate shapes; they are not Cave Plan moves, savings estimates, implementation recipes, experiment eligibility, or proof that a code change is safe. Keep the workflow operator-chosen and evidence-first. ## 1. Read the exact observations Require a logged-in Caveman CLI session and run: ```bash caveman opportunities list ``` Read only the `report_only_observations` array. Do not select from the lifecycle `data` array. Preserve each server-provided `title` and `observation` verbatim. Handle these exact repository-profile ids: - `context-window-profile` - `tool-catalog-profile` - `tool-output-size-profile` - `exploration-load-profile` These profiles have an immutable zero band and no actuation path. Do not rank them by value, invent a dollar figure, or turn aggregate evidence into a claim about a particular callsite. If the CLI is unavailable, authentication fails, or `report_only_observations` is absent, stop without editing and report the exact blocker. Do not fall back to a raw gateway Cave Plan or a project API key: …

How to install
mdr add juliusbrussee/caveman/caveman-optimize@sha256:93f391beb93198b5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.8909f6a, 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.
