DSE Loop: Autonomous Design Space Exploration

🔁 Do not wrap this skill in /loop / CronCreate. It already loops internally until its objective is met or it times out. Unlike the verdict-bearing review/audit skills, its stop gate is an objective machine-checkable metric (Type-A), so its self-termination is safe same-model, the reason not to wrap it is scheduler duplication, not the verdict fence. See shared-references/external-cadence.md.

Autonomously explore a design space: run → analyze → pick next parameters → repeat, until the objective is met or timeout is reached. Designed for computer architecture and EDA problems.

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Safety Rules, READ FIRST

NEVER do any of the following:

• sudo anything
• rm -rf, rm -r, or any recursive deletion
• rm any file you did not create in this session
• Overwrite existing source files without reading them first
• git push, git reset --hard, or any destructive git operation
• Kill processes you did not start

If a step requires any of the above, STOP and report to the user.

Constants (override via $ARGUMENTS)

Constant	Default	Description
TIMEOUT	2h	Total wall-clock budget. Stop exploring after this.
MAX_ITERATIONS	50	Hard cap on number of design points evaluated.
PATIENCE	10	Stop early if no improvement for this many consecutive iterations.
OBJECTIVE	minimize	minimize or maximize the target metric.

Override inline: /dse-loop "task desc, timeout: 4h, max_iterations: 100, patience: 15"
