# SkillOpt-Sleep (Claude Code plugin)
|
||||
|
||||
> Give your local Claude agent a **sleep cycle**. Every night it reviews your
|
||||
> past sessions offline, replays your recurring tasks on your own API budget,
|
||||
> and consolidates what it learns into **validated** memory (`CLAUDE.md`) and
|
||||
> skills (`SKILL.md`). Your agent gets better the more you use it — no
|
||||
> model-weight training.
|
||||
|
||||
SkillOpt-Sleep is the **deployment-time** companion to
|
||||
[SkillOpt](https://github.com/microsoft/SkillOpt). SkillOpt trains a skill
|
||||
offline on a benchmark; SkillOpt-Sleep applies the same discipline to *your own
|
||||
daily usage*: bounded text edits, accepted only through a held-out validation
|
||||
gate, with rejected edits kept as negative feedback.
|
||||
|
||||
It synthesizes three ideas:
|
||||
|
||||
| Idea | Contribution |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **SkillOpt** | skill/memory = trainable text; bounded add/delete/replace edits; **held-out gate** keeps only changes that help. |
|
||||
| **Claude Dreams** | offline consolidation over past sessions; input never mutated; output **reviewed then adopted**. |
|
||||
| **Agent sleep** | periodic offline replay turns short-term episodes into long-term skill. |
|
||||
|
||||
## What it does (one "night")
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
harvest ~/.claude transcripts → mine recurring tasks → replay offline
|
||||
→ consolidate (reflect → bounded edit → GATE) → stage proposal → (you) adopt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing live is modified until **you** run `/skillopt-sleep adopt` (the Dreams "review,
|
||||
then adopt or discard" contract). Every adopt backs up the prior file first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** Python ≥ 3.10, and the `claude` CLI (and/or `codex` CLI) on PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1) get the code (the plugin ships inside the SkillOpt repo)
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/SkillOpt.git
|
||||
cd SkillOpt
|
||||
|
||||
# 2) add the plugin to Claude Code as a local marketplace
|
||||
/plugin marketplace add ./skillopt-sleep-plugin
|
||||
/plugin install skillopt-sleep@skillopt-sleep
|
||||
|
||||
# 3) verify
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep status
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The plugin's bundled runner (`scripts/sleep.sh`) auto-selects a Python ≥ 3.10
|
||||
interpreter and calls the `skillopt_sleep` engine in the repo. No `pip install`
|
||||
is required for the default `mock` backend or for `claude`/`codex` backends —
|
||||
they shell out to the CLIs you already have.
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# from inside any project you use with Claude Code:
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep dry-run # safe preview: what it would learn, no changes staged
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep run # full cycle: stages a reviewed proposal (still no live edits)
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep status # see history + the latest staged proposal
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep adopt # apply the staged proposal to CLAUDE.md / SKILL.md (with backup)
|
||||
|
||||
/skillopt-sleep-handoff run # same cycle, but THIS session answers the model calls
|
||||
# (no claude -p subprocess, no API key — subscription-friendly)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or call the engine directly (Python ≥ 3.10):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep run --project "$(pwd)" --scope invoked --backend mock
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep run --project "$(pwd)" --backend claude # real lift via Claude
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep run --project "$(pwd)" --backend codex # real lift via Codex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Default backend is **`mock`** — deterministic, no API spend — so you can try the
|
||||
plumbing for free. Switch to `--backend claude` or `--backend codex` for genuine
|
||||
improvement on your own budget.
|
||||
|
||||
### Handoff mode (session answers the model calls)
|
||||
|
||||
`--backend handoff` runs the cycle without any model subprocess: the engine
|
||||
executes the deterministic stages and writes every model call it needs to
|
||||
`.skillopt-sleep-handoff/PROMPTS.md` + `pending.json` (exit code 3). You (or
|
||||
the `/skillopt-sleep-handoff` command, which automates the loop with isolated
|
||||
fresh-context subagents) write each raw answer to `answers/<id>.md` and re-run
|
||||
the same command; it resumes from the answers and either finishes or stages
|
||||
the next batch. Typically 3–6 rounds per night.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep run --backend handoff --project "$(pwd)"
|
||||
# ... answer .skillopt-sleep-handoff/PROMPTS.md into answers/<id>.md ...
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep run --backend handoff --project "$(pwd)" # resume
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Answer every prompt in a **fresh context** — a session that has already seen
|
||||
the mined tasks and their references would contaminate the held-out gate.
|
||||
Details: [the plugins README](../README.md#--backend-handoff--session-executed-calls-no-api-subprocess).
|
||||
|
||||
## Does it actually improve? (real models, public benchmark)
|
||||
|
||||
SkillOpt-Sleep is validated against [gbrain-evals](https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain-evals)'
|
||||
public `skillopt-v1` suite — the same benchmark gbrain scores its own skill
|
||||
optimizer against. We take a deliberately **deficient** skill and run one sleep
|
||||
night; held-out scoring is done by a local rule judge (no judge-API, no way to
|
||||
grade its own homework).
|
||||
|
||||
| Backend | Seed | Held-out before → after | Nights |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Claude (Haiku 4.5)** | brief-writer | **0.00 → 1.00** | 1 |
|
||||
| **Codex** | brief-writer | **0.00 → 1.00** | 2 |
|
||||
|
||||
Both took a brief-writer with no risks section / no confidence level and, within
|
||||
1–2 nights, proposed gated edits that lifted the held-out score to perfect —
|
||||
into the protected `LEARNED` block, nothing else touched. The Codex 2-night
|
||||
trace even shows the optimizer **diagnosing its own residual failure** and
|
||||
adding a meta-rule to fix it. Full writeup + reproduction:
|
||||
[the SkillOpt-Sleep guide section](https://microsoft.github.io/SkillOpt/docs/guideline.html#sleep).
|
||||
|
||||
Reproduce:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain-evals /tmp/gbrain-evals
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep.experiments.run_gbrain --backend claude --model haiku \
|
||||
--seeds brief-writer --data-root /tmp/gbrain-evals/eval/data/skillopt-v1 \
|
||||
--nights 1 --limit-replay 3 --limit-holdout 3
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep.experiments.run_gbrain --backend codex \
|
||||
--seeds brief-writer --data-root /tmp/gbrain-evals/eval/data/skillopt-v1 \
|
||||
--nights 1 --limit-replay 3 --limit-holdout 3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Deterministic proof (no API, no keys)
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep.experiments.run_experiment --persona researcher --assert-improves
|
||||
python -m skillopt_sleep.experiments.run_experiment --persona programmer --assert-improves
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each prints the held-out score rising from baseline toward 1.0 as the gate
|
||||
accepts the general rules your tasks need, and confirms the gate **rejects** an
|
||||
injected harmful edit. Recorded output: [the SkillOpt-Sleep guide section](https://microsoft.github.io/SkillOpt/docs/guideline.html#sleep).
|
||||
|
||||
## Schedule it nightly
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-cron.sh" "$(pwd)" # prints a crontab line; installs nothing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Safety
|
||||
|
||||
- **Read-only** harvest of `~/.claude`. `mock` replay has no side effects.
|
||||
- Proposals are **staged**, never auto-applied (unless you opt in with `--auto-adopt`).
|
||||
- Every adopt writes a backup under the staging dir's `backup/`.
|
||||
- Per-night **token/task budget caps**; secrets redacted from prompts.
|
||||
- `fresh` replay (Phase 3) runs only in throwaway git worktrees.
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 1 (engine + deterministic experiment + plugin surface) is complete.
|
||||
Phase 3 adds the real-API miner/judge and `fresh` worktree replay. See
|
||||
[`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-skillopt-sleep-claude-code-plugin-design.md`](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-07-skillopt-sleep-claude-code-plugin-design.md).
