description: 'Use this skill when a human needs to review a Deepline Play result and hand feedback, labels, or approval back to the agent for revision, evaluation, comparison, or bounded iteration. Triggers on “put this run in a Sheet,” “review these results,” “read my feedback,” “make this a standing rule,” “never regress on this case,” “compare these runs,” “keep improving,” or “add the revised run to the same spreadsheet.” Skip ordinary Play authoring or execution with no human review loop, generic spreadsheet work, and one-off CSV export.'

# Review and Improve Deepline Plays
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install -g deepline
deepline auth register --wait auto
deepline -h
```
## CLI resolution
Run `deepline` when it is available. If the shell reports that command is missing, use `<workspace-root>/.deepline/runtime/bin/deepline` (or the npm-created `.cmd` shim on Windows). If neither exists, follow `https://code.deepline.com/INSTALL.md` to set up Deepline.
- Improve a Play through one loop:
-
- ```text
- revision → run → assess → decide → next revision
- ```
-
- Google Sheets is the human review surface. The Play revision, completed run,
- and durable dataset remain the execution record.

## Route the request
| User intent | Start here |
| ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Put a run in a Sheet | Export the completed dataset for review |
| Address edits, notes, or comments | Read fresh feedback and run one revision |
| Make feedback a standing rule | Record a general expectation |
| Never regress on a corrected case | Add a case-specific expectation or golden case |
| Compare revisions | Evaluate both against one frozen basis |
| Try several improvements | Establish a bounded agent-driven loop |
| Keep improving together across turns | Resume the loop and yield after each candidate |
**Stop at planning boundaries.** When the user asks for a plan,
classification, or proposed evaluation before any calls or edits, write it
from the supplied context and stop. Do not inspect live Plays, runs, files, or
- tool contracts, even through read-only commands. That exploration cannot grant
- missing authority or define a budget; it turns a short planning turn into
- irrelevant archaeology and can accidentally start paid work. Resume discovery
- only after the user asks to proceed.

- If the user only wants to build, run, or debug a Play, use `deepline-plays`.
- If they only want unrelated spreadsheet manipulation, use the relevant

- measured, or used to change the Play.

## Establish or resume the loop
- Use four concepts:
-
- **Revision:** the Play version under test.
- **Run:** that revision executed on known inputs.
- - **Expectation:** what good means, either generally or for a specific case.
+ - **Expectation:** what good means, generally or for a specific case.
- **Assessment:** evidence about how a run met an expectation.

- A golden dataset is a versioned collection of representative inputs with
- case-specific expectations. An evaluation is a reproducible assessment of one
- revision against a fixed basis. Optimization is permission to repeat the loop,
- not a separate kind of evaluation.
-
- Before changing the Play, state or recover:
-
- ```text
- objective
- baseline revision and run
- applicable expectations
- human-stepped or agent-driven control
- allowed changes
- budget and stopping rule
- run, dataset, spreadsheet, and tab breadcrumbs
- ```

## Run and review
Run the Play and keep its completed run ID. When provider calls are involved,
- pilot on one or two rows before scaling: a wrong payload or output shape can
- otherwise waste credits across every candidate. Preserve source and status
- columns because they explain why a row passed or failed.

deepline runs get "$RUN_ID" --full --json > "$WORKDIR/run.json"
jq -e '
.datasets | if type != "array" then error("Expected datasets array") else .[] end |

' "$WORKDIR/run.json"
```
- The CLI returns a `run_overview`: datasets are at `.datasets`, and full raw
- diagnostics (including billing) are at `.diagnostics`. Raw SDK/API responses
- still use `package.datasets` and `billing`; do not apply those paths to CLI JSON.
- Choose an advertised `datasetId` as `DATASET_ID`: the Google Workspace export
- tool accepts that identity directly, without translating a dataset name into a
- return path. If the dataset list or identity is missing or malformed, stop and
- retrieve valid run evidence instead of guessing `result.rows`. Preview rows are
- samples, not export evidence.

- The presentation helper selects the standard review layout. The export tool is
- the single owner of its data and rendering: leftmost run tabs with the terminal
- run ID, a frozen blue header, a final auto-width pass, a light-yellow `notes`
- column, no filter by default, and a `Summary` tab. The summary shows Play, Run
- ID, dataset path and ID, input rows, exported rows, columns, and review tab.
- Its per-column table shows `filled/rows (percent)`, a white-to-green fill-rate
- cell, a stable non-empty example, and a wrapped line-by-line value distribution
- only when cardinality is under 20 and at most half of populated rows are
- distinct. Otherwise it shows only the count `N`, since the header already names
- the metric. Use custom presentation requests only for a deliberate deviation;
- never duplicate this standard layout in a skill script.

## Interpret feedback and revise
Classify feedback before acting:
| Feedback | Treatment |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Judgment about this result | Assessment for this run |
| “Always apply this rule” | General expectation |
| Correct answer for this concrete input | Case-specific expectation |
| “Never get this case wrong again” | Golden case |
| Preference between candidate outputs | Comparative assessment |
| Requested Play behavior | Candidate revision |
| Continue, accept, reject, or stop | Loop decision |
- Do not silently promote an ambiguous correction into a permanent rule. A wrong
- promotion changes future behavior far beyond the reviewed row; ask whether it
- should apply generally or only to that case.

Make one attributable behavior change where practical, run the candidate, and
export it to the same spreadsheet as a new tab. Never overwrite a reviewed tab:

- can erase feedback added between those operations.

## Evaluate and decide
- Freeze the evaluation basis before comparing candidates:
-
- ```text
- input or case-set version
- expectations
- grader for each expectation
- aggregation method
- protected constraints
- ```
-
- If any part changes, begin a new comparison lineage. Comparing scores across
- different labels, graders, or constraints makes specification changes look like
- Play improvements.

Expectations can be general rules, case-specific answers, constraints, rubrics,
- comparative preferences, or observed business outcomes. Use the narrowest

- ```

Prefer deterministic graders when the expectation permits them: normalized
equality for labels, tolerance bands for numbers, set precision/recall for
multi-value outputs, and explicit rubric labels for judgments.
- Report a scorecard rather than an unexplained scalar:
-
- - primary objective;
- - protected constraints;
- - coverage and diagnostic measures;
- - important failure slices;
- - change from the accepted baseline;
- - pass, fail, unknown, not applicable, and invalid counts.

protected slice materially regresses. Otherwise reject it, revise the
hypothesis, or stop.
## Continue, checkpoint, or recover
Human-stepped work produces one candidate and yields. For agent-driven work,
- record:
-
- ```text
- allowed mutation surfaces
- maximum candidates, elapsed time, and Deepline credits
- minimum meaningful improvement
- protected constraints and slices
- consecutive non-improving candidates before stopping
- stop-on-error policy
- ```
+ record: allowed mutation surfaces; maximum candidates, elapsed time, and
+ Deepline credits; minimum meaningful improvement; protected constraints and
+ slices; consecutive non-improving candidates before stopping (the plateau
+ rule); and the stop-on-error policy.
Stop when the target is met, the budget is exhausted, the plateau rule fires,
or the next change needs broader authority. Preserve rejected candidates and
their assessments so a resumed session does not repeat failed ideas.
Checkpoint the objective, expectation and case-set versions, baseline and
candidate revisions, run IDs, spreadsheet and tab IDs, decisions, remaining
budget, and next action.
Route expected Workspace failures:
- - `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_FILE_OUT_OF_SCOPE`: keep the data boundary intact; use a
- workbook in the organization's managed Shared Drive instead of broadening
- sharing.
+ - `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_FILE_OUT_OF_SCOPE`: use a workbook in the organization's
+ managed Shared Drive instead of broadening sharing.
- `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_EXPORT_CONFLICT`: preserve reviewer work; use a new
operation key and tab for a genuinely new export.
- `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_EXPORT_BUSY` or `GOOGLE_WORKSPACE_CREATE_NOT_VISIBLE`:
retry the exact request with the same operation key.
- `INTEGRATION_CONFIG_ERROR`: report that the managed integration is not ready;
do not ask the customer for Deepline's Google credentials.
- Edited expectations or labels: mark the comparison stale and restart against
the new basis rather than presenting incomparable scores.
