What CORAL Quickstart does

CORAL Quickstart explains what CORAL does and when to use it, then walks through installing the CLI, registering a runtime, and scaffolding a `.coral_workspace/` for a codebase you want optimized. Use it to get from zero to a validated CORAL task and launch point.

CORAL Quickstart is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. CORAL Quickstart comes from a repository tagged agent-framework, agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, ai-agents and alpha-evolve.

README

Excerpt

CORAL quickstart

CORAL is infrastructure for autonomous coding agents: you give it a codebase (seed/) and a grader (turns a commit into a number), and it spawns agents in isolated git worktrees that edit code, submit commits, and get scored on a shared leaderboard — looping to push the score up. The agents are the optimizer; your grader defines "better".

When to reach for CORAL

Good fit:

You can express success as a number — accuracy, runtime ratio, pass rate, or a rubric-judge score for open-ended work.
The work is iterative search: many attempts at one well-scoped problem (kernel/algorithm optimization, benchmark solving, prompt/program tuning, "make this function faster").
You want parallel agents exploring independently and sharing what works.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
