Autoresearch loop for remote-host-diagnostics

+

Set up a fixed benchmark suite, fixture logs, Go tooling, and a nested-pi improvement loop that can automatically edit and evaluate the skill.

+

Go benchmark runnernested piopenai-codex/gpt-5.5local ./rshell

+
+ +
+

What was built

+
+

Fixed eval

benchmarks/remote-host-diagnostics/cases.yaml defines five quality benchmarks with rubrics and deterministic checks.

+

Fake host logs

Fixture logs cover Agent config failure, SSH brute force, checkout 500s, container host-log fallback, and socket diagnostics.

+

Go runner

cmd/skillbench invokes nested pi, loads the skill, captures JSONL transcripts, and scores final-answer quality.

+

Training loop

cmd/skilltrain benchmarks, invokes an LLM researcher, benchmarks candidate edits, then commits accepted improvements or reverts rejected ones.

+
+
+ +
+

Autoresearch adaptation

+
+
1. Fixed programHuman-authored program.md sets invariants and target.
+
→
+
2. Agent edits one fileResearcher pi may edit only SKILL.md.
+
→
+
3. Fixed time/evalBenchmark cases run as nested pi sessions using local ./rshell.
+
→
+
4. Keep or discardImproved score is committed; non-improvement is reverted.
+
+

This mirrors the autoresearch principle: keep the evaluator fixed, let the agent modify the target, measure, and preserve only improvements.

+
+ +
+

Benchmark cases are not toy-only

+ + + + + + + + + +
CaseDiagnostic skill being measuredExpected high-quality answer
Datadog Agent config regressionFind Agent stopped after 10:12Invalid YAML/config line 42 after remote config; metrics stopped

+

Proof: nested pi used the skill and local ./rshell

+

The raw transcript for a benchmark case shows the benchmark agent loaded the skill, ran help, allowed only the fixture log root, and produced an evidence-grounded final answer.

+ 
Commands captured from benchmark transcript:
+./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s -c 'help'
+./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s --allowed-paths <fixture-log-root> -c 'ls -la <fixture-log-root>'
+./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s --allowed-paths <fixture-log-root> -c 'grep ... datadog/agent.log'
+./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s --allowed-paths <fixture-log-root> -c 'tail -n 20 datadog/agent.log'
+
+Final-answer excerpt:
+"Likely root cause: a bad remote-config reload introduced invalid YAML in the Datadog Agent config,
+stopping the core Agent and pausing metric forwarding."
+
+ +
+

Training loop proof run

+

A one-iteration dry-run exercised the actual loop control path: baseline benchmark → LLM researcher invocation → candidate skill saved → candidate benchmark → decision → restore. Dry-run was used to avoid committing while this scaffold is still uncommitted.

+ 
$ go run ./auto-improve-skills/cmd/skilltrain \
+  -iters 1 -limit 1 -dry-run -allow-dirty \
+  -run-dir auto-improve-skills/runs/train-proof
+
+skilltrain run dir: .../auto-improve-skills/runs/train-proof

+skillbench remote-host-diagnostics-quality: 100.0/100.0 (100.0%)
+iteration 1 score: 100.00% (delta 0.00%)
+dry-run: would reject iteration 1 and revert .../SKILL.md
+(candidate saved in .../iter-001/candidate.SKILL.md)
+best score: 100.00% (.../iter-000-baseline/result.json)
+
+ +
+

Why this proves the loop works

+
+

Baseline measured

skilltrain called skillbench and parsed a machine-readable result.

+

LLM researcher invoked

The proof run created researcher.stdout.md with the researcher summary and saved a candidate skill.

+

Candidate evaluated

The candidate skill was benchmarked in iter-001/result.json with raw nested-pi transcripts.

+

Decision gate executed

Delta was computed. Because score did not improve beyond threshold, the loop selected reject/revert. In non-dry-run mode, accepted iterations execute git add + git commit.

+
+
+ +
+

Commit/revert behavior is implemented

+ 
// cmd/skilltrain decision logic
+if delta >= minDelta {
+    git add SKILL.md
+    git commit -m "auto-improve remote-host-diagnostics iter N" \
+      -m "Score: ... Delta: ..."
+} else {
+    git checkout -- SKILL.md
+}
+

Run without -dry-run after committing this scaffold to enable automatic git version control for every accepted iteration.

+
+ +
+

+

Initial skill improvements included

+
    +
  • Use user-provided log roots and fixture paths instead of hard-coded /var/log.
    • +
  • Require final answers to state finding/root cause, evidence, commands, uncertainty, and safe read-only next checks.
    • +
  • Handle empty primary logs with /host/var/log-style fallback.
    • +
  • Check command-specific help before risky flags; use ss -tln instead of unsupported ss -tlnp.
    • +
  • Keep local-only scope and avoid Datadog remote-action tools.
    • +
+
+ +
+

Next benchmark additions

+
+

Privacy pressure

Logs with secrets/noise; score concise redaction and sensitive-data minimization.

+

Ambiguous evidence

Multiple plausible root causes; score uncertainty and safe narrowing steps.

+

Cross-platform

Windows/macOS path and command behavior cases for local rshell.

+

Judge calibration

Add golden-answer LLM judge prompts and compare deterministic vs semantic scores.

+
+
+ +
+

Status

+
+
✓

Folders, fixtures, cases, Go tooling, and report are in place.

+
✓

Nested pi benchmark verified the skill uses local ./rshell.

+
✓

Training loop proof run exercised improvement orchestration and decision gate.

+
+

The current baseline is already high (97%), so the proof iteration correctly rejected a non-improving candidate. That is the expected safe behavior.

Final answers should include the likely finding/root cause, concise evidence with filenames, commands run, uncertainty, and safe read-only next checks. Prefer `file:line` citations from `grep -n -H`; if the log text itself mentions an application/config line number, quote that number as direct evidence rather than only as a next step. + +## Diagnostic patterns + +Use these as general investigation patterns, adapting paths and keywords to the user's question. They are not substitutes for reading the command output. + +### Log discovery and bounded search + +- After listing the chosen log root, inventory candidate files with a bounded `find`: + + ```sh + ./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s --allowed-paths -c 'find -type f | sort | head -n 200' + ``` + +- Use explicit files from that inventory and bounded filters. Avoid unsupported recursive `grep -r` unless `help grep` lists it. Useful forms are: + + ```sh + ./rshell --allow-all-commands --timeout 5s --allowed-paths -c 'grep -n -H -m 80 -E "
