Parameter Golf Monitor

A skill for tracking the openai/parameter-golf competition leaderboard in real time by fetching open and merged PRs from GitHub's public API.

What this skill does

The monitor script at scripts/monitor.py queries the GitHub API for PRs on openai/parameter-golf, extracts val_bpb scores from titles and bodies, classifies submissions (record vs non-record), and displays a ranked leaderboard table.

It requires zero authentication — it uses the unauthenticated GitHub API (60 requests/hour rate limit).

When to use this skill

• User asks "what's the current leaderboard?" or "who's winning parameter golf?"
• User wants to check their ranking: "where do I stand?" or "how's my PR doing?"
• User asks about competitor scores or techniques
• User wants to monitor for new submissions or changes
• User says "check the competition" or "show me the standings"
• User wants to compare their score against the field
