ASPIRE: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/evosearch/SKILL.md

evosearch is a skill for Claude Code from NVlabs/ASPIRE. It costs 57 tokens per session (781 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An experiment workflow for LIBERO-Pro, a robot-learning benchmark, that searches for fixes to tasks that perform poorly and tests the selected fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate per-task search iterations, dispatch work to available GPUs, reset tasks before reruns, and evaluate results on held-out tasks.
Why use it?
It organizes repeated candidate generation, validation, reruns, and final testing so experiments do not depend on an improvised process.

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

evosearch 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 21d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/analyze_evosearch_traces.py, scripts/evosearch_eval.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill for intensive debugging of difficult tasks — Evolutionary Search's multi-candidate search finds strategies the single-pass fix loop misses. It builds on the iterative-debugging skill: each task's fix loop fix_code.py (when present) is the baseline to beat, seeded verbatim as candidate_A. LIBERO-Pro runs use --init-mode seeded so development seeds 51–65 and held-out seeds 1–50 are distinct scenes.

Setup

  1. Complete benchmark setup for the target embodiment (docs/libero-pro.md, or docs/robosuite.md), including the pinned environment (for LIBERO: scripts/bootstrap_libero.sh → .venv-libero) and SAM3 authentication.
  2. Export the benchmark environment variables (for LIBERO: LIBERO_CONFIG_PATH="$PWD/.libero", MUJOCO_GL=egl, PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=egl, EGL_PLATFORM=device, TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD=1).
  3. Start perception services (scripts/supervise_services.sh) and a persistent coordinator session.
  4. Confirm the Fix Loop experiment has produced fix_code.py (and a baseline held-out rate) for the target tasks when available.
  5. Read docs/api-reference.md, docs/run-artifacts.md, and main-agent-prompt.md.

Run Order

  1. Take the task list from the user (tasks below the success threshold; any set of (benchmark, suite, task_id) cases) and follow main-agent-prompt.md as the coordinator.
  2. Fill subagent-prompt.md once per task and dispatch subagents on the available worker GPUs.
  3. Subagents read the experiment-specific companion skills under skills/ when generating candidates, iterate with scripts/evosearch_eval.py, and run the Stage 2 held-out evaluation themselves with the shared .claude/skills/iterative-debugging/scripts/run_validation.py before returning.
  4. Use clean-task-slate.md before rerunning a task or suite.

Changes

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.
