Drives the skillopt_sleep engine: harvest past sessions -> mine recurring tasks -> replay offline -> consolidate validated CLAUDE.md and SKILL.md behind a held-out gate."
---# SkillOpt-Sleep: offline self-evolution for a local Claude agent
SkillOpt-Sleep gives the user's agent a **sleep cycle**. While the user is
offline (e.g. nightly), it reviews their real past Claude Code sessions,
re-runs recurring tasks on their own API budget, and consolidates what it
learns into **memory** (`CLAUDE.md`) and **skills** (`SKILL.md`) — but only
keeps changes that pass a held-out validation gate, and only after the user
adopts them. The agent gets measurably better at *this* user's recurring work,
with no model-weight training. It is the deployment-time analogue of training:
short-term experience → long-term competence.
It synthesizes three ideas:
- **SkillOpt** — the skill/memory doc is trainable text; bounded add/delete/replace
edits; accepted only through a held-out gate; rejected edits become negative feedback.
- **Claude Dreams** — offline consolidation that reads past sessions and rebuilds
3. **Replay** — re-run tasks offline under the *current* skill+memory → (hard, soft) scores.
4. **Consolidate** — reflect on failures → propose bounded edits → **gate** on a held-out slice; accept only if it strictly improves.
5. **Stage** — write `proposed_CLAUDE.md`, `proposed_SKILL.md`, a diff, and `report.md` into `<project>/.skillopt-sleep/staging/<date>/`. **Nothing live changes.**
6. **Adopt** — explicit (or opt-in auto): copy staged files over live ones, backing up first.
## How to drive it
Prefer the `/skillopt-sleep` command. Under the hood it calls the bundled runner:
```bash
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sleep.sh" status # what's happened
