CGF Optimize Skill
This skill launches the CGF (Claude Gradient Feedback) optimization pipeline for a specified resource or creates a new resource from description.
Usage
Optimization Mode (Existing Resource)
/cgf-optimize <resource> <optimization_goal> [--review]
Creation Mode (New Resource)
/cgf-create <description> [--review]
Arguments
For optimization mode:
resource: Resource identifier - can be:
- Agent name:
python-expert,refactor-agent - Namespaced agent:
research-team:research-specialist - Full path:
.claude/agents/dev-python-expert.md
- Agent name:
optimization_goal: What to optimize for:
async programmingbetter error handlingcode quality improvementsContext7 usage patterns
For creation mode:
description: Natural language description of the desired resource:
Python async expert that helps with asyncio patternsKubernetes deployment agent for managing k8s resourcesCode review skill for security-focused reviews
--review (optional): Enable checkpoint mode for human review at each phase
Examples
Basic Optimization
/cgf-optimize python-expert async programming
Runs full optimization pipeline automatically.
With Review Checkpoints
/cgf-optimize typescript-expert --review
Pauses after research, test generation, and evaluation for your review.
Plugin Agent
/cgf-optimize research-team:research-specialist Context7 integration
Optimizes a plugin agent.
Create New Agent
/cgf-create Python async expert that helps with asyncio patterns
Creates initial agent draft using context-engineer, then optimizes.
Create With Review
/cgf-create Kubernetes deployment agent --review
Creates and optimizes with human review at each phase.
Workflow
Optimization Mode
- INIT: Creates workspace, detects resource type
- RESEARCH: Investigates domain best practices (via research-team)
- RESEARCH_ITERATE: Agentic optimization using research findings and LLM self-critique
- EVALUATE: Assesses results, recommends accept/refine/reject
- FINALIZE: Applies recommendation
Creation Mode
- INIT: Creates workspace, detects creation mode
- CREATE: Spawns context-engineer to create initial resource draft
- RESEARCH: Investigates domain best practices
- RESEARCH_ITERATE: Agentic optimization using research findings and LLM self-critique
- EVALUATE: Assesses results, recommends accept/refine/reject
- FINALIZE: Applies recommendation
Output
Results saved to workspace/{resource_id}/:
run_state.json- Current state (supports resume){resource_id}-v{N}.md- Optimized versionreviews/v{N}_review.md- Evaluation report
Resume
If optimization was interrupted, simply re-run the same command - it will resume from the last checkpoint.
