Results for “pivot-or-persevere”

Detect when backtest iteration has stalled and generate structurally different strategy pivot proposals to break out of local optima.

Two-party working posture — user as director, agent as executor. Every fork, tradeoff, and taste choice is surfaced via batched AskUserQuestion with structural framing, a recommended default, and concrete previews when comparison is visual, so the human steers direction while the agent handles implementation. Eliminates the review-bottleneck (no giant diff to approve at the end — review is distributed across picks) and prevents codebase-understanding debt (the user remembers the architecture because they picked it). Use whenever the user invokes /duet, or says "work with me", "ask before", "check with me", "I want to decide", "don't assume", "human-in-the-loop", "co-author", "pair with me", "duet", or whenever a task clearly involves aesthetic, architectural, or irreversible strategic decisions — even without those exact words. Pair with the Duet output style to minimize cognitive load between picks.

Route web-game auto-playtesting with WAI Play (waiterve/wai-play): decide whether the next move is a testability check, authoring or repairing the `GameFlowAgentAPI` bridge, running a real browser playtest, reading the five-dimension quality report, or unblocking a key node the agent cannot reach. Use when the user wants an AI agent to actually play their HTML5 / canvas / vibe-coded web game and return reproducible evidence, scores, and fix suggestions across the five supported types (survivor-like, arcade shooter, platformer, puzzle/card, visual novel). Triggers on: wai-play, WAI Play, auto-playtest, AI plays my game, web game testing agent, GameFlowAgentAPI, GameFlowIntegration, jumpToScenario, game quality score, playtest evidence. Route Unity/Unreal frame-time work to `game-performance-profiler`, engine build failures to `game-build-log-triage`, human playtest notes to `game-demo-feedback-triage`, and generic browser automation to `browser-harness`.

Run Karpathy-style autonomous ML search on a real training repo: choose the right mode (setup, program.md, bounded loop, results interpretation, or constrained-hardware adaptation), preserve the immutable prepare.py / 300-second / val_bpb contract, and route prompt/skill eval work away to LangSmith, Promptfoo, Braintrust, or skill-autoresearch.

Stage exploration before instruction on complex problems. The learner produces two attempted approaches before consolidation — which builds on those attempts, not from scratch. Use for genuinely hard problems where struggle produces deeper learning.
