Repository instructions for FAPO, a framework that improves AI-powered workflows through testing and repeated prompt or chain changes. They describe the project structure, setup, tests, development process, and troubleshooting guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, testing, troubleshooting, or running command-line workflows in the FAPO repository.
Why use it?
They help an AI coding assistant understand the repository and diagnose common problems without guessing how the project is organized or run.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fully-automated-prompt-optimization CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Repository Guidelines

Repository Purpose

FAPO (Fully Autonomous Prompt Optimization) is an LLM chain optimization framework. It provides structured tooling for iteratively improving LLM-powered pipelines through evaluation, failure analysis, and prompt/chain iteration. The repo separates reusable optimization and evaluation core logic from tenant-specific prompts, datasets, and historical artifacts.

Project Structure

  • src/hephaestus/ — core optimization engine, evaluation runner, and provider interfaces
  • hephaestus/ — public package shim for python -m hephaestus.cli
  • tenants/<tenant_id>/ — tenant-specific prompts, datasets, source artifacts, local eval outputs, and tenant docs
  • docs/ — product-level architecture, usage docs, and process documentation
  • tests/ — automated tests for core modules

Build, Test, and Development

  • python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install --upgrade pip
  • python -m pip install -e .
  • python -m pytest
  • python -m hephaestus.cli --help

Troubleshooting

  • If a command fails, hangs, or behavior is unexpected, check auto-memory notes for relevant workaround notes before retrying.
  • When the user gives you feedback that may be repeatable in the future (e.g. environment setup steps, workaround patterns, tooling preferences), save it to your auto-memory notes so it persists across sessions.

Evaluation Workflow

  • Preferred: use the eval-runner slash command for running evaluations and summarizing results.
    • Slash command: /project:eval-runner
  • Direct command (when needed):
    • python -m hephaestus.cli eval --config tenants/<tenant_id>/configs/<config>.json

Code Style

  • Follow the project style guide: docs/style-guide.md
  • When writing inline code to files in tests (e.g. scorers, chains), use triple-quoted strings ("""\...""") instead of concatenated string literals ("line1\n" "line2\n").

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
