description: "Use when the user wants Codex to self-improve from past usage, asks about a nightly/offline 'sleep' or 'dream' cycle, wants Codex to review past sessions, learn preferences, consolidate memory/skills, run dry-run/run/adopt/status for SkillOpt-Sleep, or schedule offline self-optimization. Drives the skillopt_sleep engine: harvest past sessions -> mine recurring tasks -> replay offline -> consolidate validated memory + skills behind a held-out gate."

# SkillOpt-Sleep: offline self-evolution for a local Codex agent
|
|
|
|
SkillOpt-Sleep gives the user's Codex agent a sleep cycle. While the user is
|
|
offline or on demand, it reviews past local sessions, re-runs recurring tasks
|
|
on the user's own budget, and consolidates what it learns into memory and
|
|
skills. It keeps only changes that pass a held-out validation gate, and live
|
|
files change only after the user explicitly adopts a staged proposal. There is
|
|
no model-weight training.
|
|
|
|
## When to use
|
|
|
|
Trigger when the user wants any of:
|
|
|
|
- Codex to learn from past sessions or get better the more they use it;
|
|
- a nightly/scheduled or on-demand sleep/dream/offline self-improvement run;
|
|
- to review past sessions and distill recurring tasks;
|
|
- to consolidate feedback into memory or managed skills;
|
|
- to run `status`, `harvest`, `dry-run`, `run`, or `adopt` for SkillOpt-Sleep.
|
|
|
|
## The cycle
|
|
|
|
1. **Harvest** - read local session transcripts according to the engine
|
|
configuration and normalize them into session digests.
|
|
2. **Mine** - turn digests into recurring `TaskRecord`s with outcomes and
|
|
checkable references where possible.
|
|
3. **Replay** - re-run mined tasks offline under the current skill and memory.
|
|
4. **Consolidate** - reflect on failures and propose bounded edits.
|
|
5. **Gate** - accept edits only when the held-out validation score improves.
|
|
6. **Stage** - write the proposal under
|
|
`<project>/.skillopt-sleep/staging/<date>/`; nothing live changes.
|
|
7. **Adopt** - only after explicit user approval, copy staged files over live
|
|
files with backups.
|
|
|
|
## How to drive it
|
|
|
|
Invoke the bundled runner via shell (Codex `exec` has shell access). The runner
|
|
finds the engine and a Python >= 3.10 automatically.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# point at the repo if it isn't auto-detected from CWD:
|
|
export SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO=/path/to/SkillOpt-Sleep
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" status --project "$(pwd)"
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" harvest --project "$(pwd)"
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" dry-run --project "$(pwd)" --backend mock
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" run --project "$(pwd)" --backend codex
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" run --project "$(pwd)" --source codex # harvest from Codex Desktop
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" adopt --project "$(pwd)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Actions are `status`, `harvest`, `dry-run`, `run`, `adopt`, `schedule`, and `unschedule`.
|
|
|
|
- Default backend is `mock`, which is deterministic and spends no API budget.
|
|
- `--backend codex` uses the user's Codex budget for real improvement.
|
|
- `--source codex` reads Codex Desktop archived sessions from `~/.codex/archived_sessions`;
|
|
use `--codex-home /path/to/.codex` if the archive lives elsewhere.
|
|
- Keep `dry-run --backend mock` as the first smoke check unless the user
|
|
explicitly asked for a real optimization run.
|
|
|
|
### Scheduling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" schedule --project "$(pwd)" --hour 3 --minute 17
|
|
bash "$SKILLOPT_SLEEP_REPO/plugins/run-sleep.sh" unschedule --project "$(pwd)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installs a nightly cron entry. `unschedule --all` removes every managed entry.
|
|
|
|
### All backends
|
|
|
|
- `--backend mock` — deterministic, no API spend (default)
|
|
- `--backend claude` — uses the Claude CLI
|
|
- `--backend codex` — uses the Codex CLI
|
|
- `--backend copilot` — uses the GitHub Copilot CLI
|
|
|
|
### Additional flags
|
|
|
|
| Flag | Description |
|
|
|------|-------------|
|
|
| `--auto-adopt` | Auto-adopt if the gate passes (default: stage only) |
|
|
| `--edit-budget N` | Max bounded edits per night (default: 4) |
|
|
| `--lookback-hours N` | Harvest window in hours (default: 72) |
|
|
| `--json` | Machine-readable JSON output |
|
|
|
|
### Config keys (`~/.skillopt-sleep/config.json`)
|
|
|
|
- **`preferences`** — free-text house rules for the optimizer
|
|
- **`gate_mode`** — `on` (validation-gated, default) or `off` (greedy)
|
|
- **`gate_metric`** — `hard` | `soft` | `mixed` (default)
|
|
- **`dream_rollouts`** — >1 for multi-rollout contrastive reflection
|
|
- **`recall_k`** — >0 recalls similar past tasks from the archive
|
|
|
|
### Memory consolidation
|
|
|
|
The sleep cycle consolidates both **memory** (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md) and **skills** (SKILL.md) by default. Each is independently toggleable via `evolve_memory` / `evolve_skill` config keys. Both are gated by the same held-out validation score.
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Run the requested action; capture stdout.
|
|
2. For `dry-run` and `run`, report the held-out baseline -> candidate score,
|
|
gate action, task count, session count, and exact proposed edits.
|
|
3. If a staging directory is printed, read `report.md` before summarizing.
|
|
4. `run` only stages a proposal; nothing live changes until `adopt`.
|
|
5. Offer adoption only after the user has reviewed the staged proposal.
|
|
6. Never hand-edit the user's `AGENTS.md`, memory, or skills as a substitute
|
|
for `adopt`; adoption is the safety boundary and writes backups first.
|
|
|
|
## Hard rules
|
|
|
|
- Harvest is read-only. Do not edit archived sessions or raw transcripts.
|
|
- Keep raw secrets, credentials, private user data, and unsanitized transcript
|
|
contents out of messages, logs, generated artifacts, and commits.
|
|
- Show validation evidence before recommending adoption.
|
|
- Treat generated edits as proposals, not as source of truth.
|
|
- Do not rely on deprecated custom prompts or `/sleep` slash commands for this
|
|
Codex integration. This skill is the entrypoint.
|
|
|
|
## Validate
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -m skillopt_sleep dry-run --project "$(pwd)" --backend mock --json
|
|
python -m skillopt_sleep.experiments.run_gbrain --backend codex \
|
|
--seeds brief-writer --data-root /path/to/gbrain-evals/eval/data/skillopt-v1 \
|
|
--nights 2 --limit-replay 3 --limit-holdout 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A deficient skill goes 0.00 -> 1.00 on a held-out set; the optimizer's edits
|
|
are gated on real-task performance.
