Shinka Task Setup Skill

Create a setup scaffold consisting of an evaluation script and initial solution for an optimization problem given a user's task description. Both ingredients will be used within ShinkaEvolve, a framework combining LLMs with evolutionary algorithms to drive code optimization.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user:

• Wants to optimize code with LLM-driven code evolution (Shinka/ShinkaEvolve)
• No evaluate.py and initial.<ext> exist in the working directory

User Inputs

• Task description + success criteria
• Target language for initial.<ext> (if omitted, default to Python)
• What parts of the script to optimize
• Evaluation metric(s) and score direction
• Number of eval runs / seeds
• Required assets or data files
• Dependencies or constraints (runtime, memory)
