Instructions for running and managing CORAL experiments, in which multiple coding agents work on a task and a grader scores their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps launch experiments, change run settings, view logs and status, resume attempts, use the dashboard, and stop running experiments.
Why use it?
It explains how to start, monitor, inspect, continue, and stop experiments while keeping agent work isolated and results organized.

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

running-coral-experiments 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Running CORAL experiments

You drive a run with five verbs: start → status → log/show → resume → stop. Everything else is a flag on those or a deeper topic in the references. Prefer coral <cmd> --help over guessing flags.

Prereq: a task (task.yaml + seed/ + grader package) that passes coral validate .. No task yet → that's the creating-a-coral-task skill. Each runtime CLI must be installed and authenticated → the setting-up-coral skill.

1. Launch

coral start -c task.yaml                                  # auto-tmux session
coral start -c task.yaml agents.count=4 agents.model=opus # dotlist overrides (no quotes needed)
coral start -c task.yaml run.verbose=true run.ui=true     # verbose logs + web dashboard
coral start -c task.yaml run.session=local                # foreground, no tmux
  • Dotlist overrides (key.subkey=value) beat task.yaml for this run only — the clean way to sweep count/model without editing the file.
  • run.session: tmux (default, detachable) · local (foreground) · docker.
  • Each run lands in results/<task-slug>/<timestamp>/; agents work in isolated git worktrees and the grader daemon scores their commits.

2. Monitor

coral status            # agent health + leaderboard snapshot (the quick pulse)
coral runs              # active runs across tasks; --all includes finished
coral ui --port 8420    # web dashboard: live leaderboard, logs, DAG

coral status answers "who's alive, how many evals, current best". If it looks healthy but scores never move, jump to budget classes + troubleshooting in references/scaling-and-ops.md.

3. Read results

coral log                              # top 20 real attempts by score
coral log -n 5 --recent                # most recent instead of best
coral log --search "kernel" --agent agent-1
coral log --class grader_error         # surface crashing graders (first stop when unhealthy)
coral show <hash>                      # one attempt: score, explanation, files changed
coral show <hash> --diff               # full diff — see exactly what the leader did

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.
