optimize SKILL.md skillA

optimize from borda/ai-rig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add borda/ai-rig/optimize@git:20261023.0d5e714

Optimize a measurable metric with bounded iterations, resumable numeric campaigns, isolated ablations, and descriptive retrospectives.

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

> Before asking, read [User Questions](../../shared/codex-user-questions.md). Waits, plan updates, and test runs follow [Agent Waits](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#agent-waits), [Plan Updates](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#plan-updates), and [Sandboxed Test Runs](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#sandboxed-test-runs).

# Optimize

> Task-size routing follows [Proportional Execution](../../shared/native-skill-contract.md#proportional-execution); this skill's specialized lifecycle and acceptance checks remain authoritative.

Metric-driven optimization with explicit guards, rollback criteria, experiment log.

## Input Schema

```json
{
  "goal": "required measurable improvement objective",
  "mode": "single|campaign|resume|ablation|retrospective",
  "checkpoint": "optional boolean for a resumable numeric campaign; default false",
  "source_run": "required existing managed run directory for resume, ablation, or retrospective",
  "variants": "ablation only: bounded named component-removal patches and their rationale",

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borda/ai-rig/optimize@sha256:2018b797a1634b55

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.0d5e714, 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.
