shinka-convert
Shinka Convert Skill
Use this skill to turn an existing project into a Shinka-ready task.
This is the alternative starting point to shinka-setup:
shinka-setup: new task from natural-language task descriptionshinka-convert: existing codebase to Shinka task conversion
After conversion, the user should still be able to use shinka-run.
When to Use
Invoke this skill when the user:
- Wants to optimize an existing script or repo with Shinka/ShinkaEvolve
- Mentions adapting current code to Shinka output signatures,
metrics.json,correct.json, orEVOLVE-BLOCKmarkers - Wants a sidecar Shinka task generated from the current working directory
Do not use this skill when:
- The user wants a brand-new task scaffold from only a natural-language description
evaluate.pyandinitial.<ext>already exist and the user only wants to launch evolution; useshinka-run
More from sakanaai/shinkaevolve
shinka-setup
Create ShinkaEvolve task scaffolds from a target directory and task description, producing `evaluate.py` and `initial.<ext>` (multi-language). Use when asked to set up new ShinkaEvolve tasks, evaluation harnesses, or baseline programs for ShinkaEvolve.
109shinka-run
Run existing ShinkaEvolve tasks with the `shinka_run` CLI from a task directory (`evaluate.py` + `initial.<ext>`). Use when an agent needs to launch async evolution runs quickly with required `--results_dir`, generation count, and strict namespaced keyword overrides.
109shinka-inspect
Load top-performing Shinka programs into agent context using `shinka.utils.load_programs_to_df`, and emit a compact Markdown bundle for iteration planning.
