Historical Attempt Sampling
Use this skill before generating a new attempt when prior ClimbHill runs exist.
Inputs
- Current run goal
- Registry access or exported reports
- Prior attempt summaries
- Prior evaluation results
- Prior human decisions
Procedure
- Search prior runs with similar goals, files, failures, or evaluation patterns.
- Sample both successful and failed attempts.
- Extract reusable ideas, rejected approaches, brittle areas, and known constraints.
- Identify attempt lineage that may matter:
inspired_by,failed_due_to,supersedes, orcombined_with. - Convert findings into a short plan for the next attempt.
- Record which historical items influenced the new attempt.
Outputs
- Sampled attempt list
- Lessons reused
- Failure patterns to avoid
- Attempt lineage notes
Rubric
- The new attempt does not repeat known failures without justification.
- Useful partial solutions are identified.
- Human decisions are respected.
- Sources are linked to run IDs, attempt IDs, branches, commits, or reports.
