Kickoff Prompt
Copy this prompt and run it with your agent to start the loop.
Improve a prompt, policy, or configuration. A support assistant's system prompt is one example. Save the champion, its score, a working set, untouched holdout cases, must-pass checks, and [budget]. Each round, change one thing based on a recorded failure. Promote the challenger only if it beats the champion on holdouts by [margin] without weakening a must-pass check; otherwise keep the champion. Stop at the target, budget limit, or no progress. Return the winner, scores, experiment log, and remaining failures.
