Documentation

README

labrat Operator

Use this skill from a labrat lab root, identified by branches.yaml, evaluation.yaml, runtime.yaml, and scripts/operator_helper.py.

Codex can load this skill implicitly when a task matches the description, or explicitly when the user references $labrat-operator. Keep this skill focused on lab operation; repo release mechanics belong in the root AGENTS.md.

Cold Start

  1. Run python scripts/operator_helper.py doctor.
  2. Run python scripts/operator_helper.py status.
  3. Read coordination/workspace_map.md.
  4. Read coordination/prioritized_tasks.md.
  5. Run python scripts/operator_helper.py next-prompt --runner codex --phase auto.

If you are operating from the repo root, use the equivalent labrat ... --lab-dir <path> commands.

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