What it does

Use when the user wants Codex to self-improve from past usage, asks about a nightly/offline 'sleep' or 'dream' cycle, wants Codex to review past sessions, learn preferences, consolidate memory/skills, run dry-run/run/adopt/status for SkillOpt-Sleep, or schedule background self-optimization. Drives the skillopt_sleep engine: harvest past sessions -> mine recurring tasks -> replay through a selected backend -> consolidate validated memory + skills behind a held-out gate.

SkillOpt-Sleep: usage-driven self-evolution for a local Codex agent

SkillOpt-Sleep gives the user's Codex agent a sleep cycle. On demand or on a nightly schedule, it reviews past local sessions, re-runs recurring tasks through the selected backend, and proposes changes to a configured skill and to the project's CLAUDE.md. With the default validation gate enabled, it keeps only changes that improve a held-out score. Live files change only through explicit adoption or a user-requested --auto-adopt. There is no model-weight training.

The current shared engine does not write AGENTS.md. For a Codex-visible result, always select a Codex skill explicitly with --target-skill-path (for example .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md). If project CLAUDE.md is not a desired secondary target, set "evolve_memory": false in ~/.skillopt-sleep/config.json before running.

When to use

Trigger when the user wants any of:

  • Codex to learn from past sessions or get better the more they use it;
  • a nightly/scheduled or on-demand sleep/dream/offline self-improvement run;
  • to review past sessions and distill recurring tasks;
  • to consolidate feedback into memory or managed skills;
  • to run status, harvest, dry-run, run, or adopt for SkillOpt-Sleep.
