augustus SKILL.md skillA

augustus from 24601/augustus is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add 24601/augustus/augustus@v0.8.1

Pins v0.8.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Find, build, evaluate, and improve systems using decision models. Use for bounded classification, routing, ranking, Choice/Score/Noul, decision-model composition, evaluation harnesses, prompt/program hill climbing, and Software 3.0 workflows across software, business, organizations, and life. Separate models, code, and human judgment. TypeSafe Jev is the default hosted exemplar. Not for straightforward arithmetic, prose rewriting, or provider setup alone.

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

# Augustus

Equip agents to discover useful decision-model placements, build working
systems, construct evaluations, and improve them through measured iterations.
Use mathematical, statistical, scientific, and algorithmic methods across AI,
software, business, knowledge work, organizations, and life. This is an engine
for agent work, not a survey to imitate or a claim of autonomous deployment.
The central model is:

**evidence → bounded judgment → explicit policy → checked action → observed outcome**

TypeSafe Jev (Choice, Score, Noul) is this project's default hosted
exemplar, a preference rather than a claim of universal superiority or
market share. The class also includes trained classifiers, open decision
heads, encoders, constrained autoregressive readouts, rankers, and vision
scorers. Choose a family by its objective and evidence requirements.
This is an independent skill, not a TypeSafe product.

For assembling training data, fitting a task-specific model, compiling a
decision function, or improving a trained artifact, load the companion
`augustus-train` skill. Use this skill for placement, composition and outcome

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 24601/augustus/augustus@sha256:ce9d0c355d225e43

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.8.1, 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.
