/skillopt-sleep — SkillOpt-Sleep nightly self-evolution

You are driving SkillOpt-Sleep: a tool that lets this user's Claude agent improve offline by reviewing past sessions, replaying recurring tasks, and consolidating what it learns into validated memory (CLAUDE.md) and skills (SKILL.md). It is gated like SkillOpt: a change is kept only if it improves a held-out replay score, and nothing live is modified until the user adopts it.

Requested action: $ARGUMENTS

(If $ARGUMENTS is empty, treat it as status.)

How to run it

The engine is the skillopt_sleep Python package in this repo. Use the plugin's bundled runner so the right interpreter and repo are on the path:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sleep.sh" <action> --project "$(pwd)" --scope invoked

<action> is one of:

action	what it does
status	show how many nights have run + the latest staged proposal (READ-ONLY)
dry-run	harvest → mine → replay → report, but stage nothing (safe preview)
run	full cycle: also stage a reviewed proposal (still does NOT touch live files)
adopt	apply the latest staged proposal to live CLAUDE.md / SKILL.md (backs up first)
harvest	debug: print the recurring tasks mined from recent sessions
schedule	install a nightly cron entry for this project (--hour --minute, off-:00 by default)
unschedule	remove the nightly cron entry (--all to remove every managed entry)

Default backend is mock (deterministic, no API spend). To use real budget for genuine improvement, add --backend claude or --backend codex. To steer what the optimizer writes, add --preferences "<your house rules>".

Steps to follow

1. For schedule: confirm with the user before running it. Unlike every other action, schedule writes directly to the user's real crontab the moment it runs (via scheduler.schedule() → crontab -) — it is not a preview. Tell them what will be scheduled (project, hour, minute, backend) and get an explicit go-ahead first. If they'd rather review the exact line before anything is installed, offer ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-cron.sh instead (prints the line; installs nothing). Once they've confirmed, add --yes to the schedule invocation in step 2 — the CLI itself refuses to install non-interactively without it (defense-in-depth for anyone running the CLI directly, outside this chat-confirmed flow); --yes is how you record that the confirmation above already happened.
2. Run the requested action via the bundled runner above. Capture stdout.
3. For run / dry-run: after it completes, Read the generated report.md in the staging dir it prints, and show the user:
   • held-out score: baseline → candidate (the proof it helped)
   • the gate decision (accept/reject) and the exact edits it proposes
   • where the proposal is staged
4. For run that produced an accepted proposal: tell the user the diff is staged and that nothing live changed yet. Offer to run /skillopt-sleep adopt.
5. For adopt: confirm which live files were updated and that backups were written under the staging dir's backup/.
6. Never edit CLAUDE.md or SKILL.md yourself — only the adopt action does that, with a backup. Respect the review gate.

Safety reminders

• Harvest is read-only over ~/.claude. Replay in mock mode runs no shell side effects.
• The cycle stages proposals; the user is in control of adoption.
• schedule installs a real crontab entry immediately — it is not a preview, unlike run/dry-run. Always confirm with the user first (see Steps to follow, step 1), then pass --yes. Without --yes, the CLI itself refuses to install non-interactively — that's a backstop for direct CLI use, not a substitute for the chat confirmation above. ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/install-cron.sh remains available as a print-only alternative for a user who wants to inspect or hand-edit the line before installing anything.
