llm4ad-task-builder SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

llm4ad-task-builder from optima-cityu/llm4ad_next is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add optima-cityu/llm4ad_next/llm4ad-task-builder@git:20260924.8f1c5c6

Pins git:20260924.8f1c5c6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a user wants to build an LLM4AD_Next task package — a runnable directory that lets the LLM4AD platform evolve an algorithm for their problem. Covers what files a task package contains, each file's contract, and how the package is run on the LLM4AD platform.

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

# Building an LLM4AD_Next Task Package

## What LLM4AD_Next is

LLM4AD_Next is an automated algorithm-design platform: it combines an LLM with
evolutionary optimization to discover and improve algorithms automatically. The
user describes a problem (e.g. "evolve a solver for the Traveling Salesman
Problem"), marks the code region to evolve with `# EVOLVE_START` / `# EVOLVE_END`,
and the platform repeatedly asks an LLM to propose better code inside that region,
scores each candidate with a custom evaluator, and keeps the best across
generations. Better algorithms emerge through guided search rather than manual
trial and error.

Your job with this skill: turn a user's problem into a **complete, runnable task
package**, then verify it actually runs before handing it over.

## AutoDiscovery runtime mode

When this Skill is installed together with `algorithm-discovery`, first help that
Skill resolve the source-grounded function boundary, I/O contract, objective,
constraints, evaluator data, and reproducibility requirements. Then call the
runtime's `build_algorithm_task` tool with one complete description. Do not
hand-write package files and do not leave package construction for project
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add optima-cityu/llm4ad_next/llm4ad-task-builder@sha256:75109ac7b5ca98fd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.8f1c5c6, 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.
