+
+
+[`shinka`](https://sakana.ai/shinka-evolve/) is a framework that combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with evolutionary algorithms to drive scientific discovery. By leveraging the creative capabilities of LLMs and the optimization power of evolutionary search, `shinka` enables automated exploration and improvement of scientific code. The system is inspired by the [AI Scientist](https://sakana.ai/ai-scientist/), [AlphaEvolve](https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/alphaevolve-a-gemini-powered-coding-agent-for-designing-advanced-algorithms/) and the [Darwin Goedel Machine](https://sakana.ai/dgm/): It maintains a population of programs that evolve over generations, with an ensemble of LLMs acting as intelligent mutation operators that suggest code improvements.
+
+---
+
+**Mar 2026 Update**: Refactored evolution API and unified runner `ShinkaEvolveRunner` (replacing legacy `EvolutionRunner`/`AsyncEvolutionRunner` references).
+
+**Feb 2026 Update**: Added [agent skill files](docs/agentic_usage.md) for using `shinka` within coding agents for task generation ([`shinka-setup`](skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md)), evolution ([`shinka-run`](skills/shinka-run/SKILL.md)), and result inspection ([`shinka-inspect`](skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md)).
+
+**Jan 2026 Update**: ShinkaEvolve was accepted at ICLR 2026 and we have [released v1.1](docs/release_notes.md) with many new features.
+
+**Nov 2025 Update**: Rob gave several public talks about our ShinkaEvolve effort ([Official](https://x.com/SakanaAILabs/status/1989352976792846356?s=20), [AutoML Seminar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAOIer_1INo)).
+
+**Oct 2025 Update** ShinkaEvolve supported Team Unagi in winning the [ICFP 2025 Programming Contest](https://sakana.ai/icfp-2025/).
+
+---
+
+The framework supports **parallel evaluation of candidates** locally or on a Slurm cluster. It maintains an archive of successful solutions, enabling knowledge transfer between different evolutionary islands. `shinka` is particularly well-suited for scientific tasks where there is a verifier available and the goal is to optimize performance metrics while maintaining code correctness and readability.

+### Evaluation Setup & Initial Solution 🏃
+
+To use `ShinkaEvolveRunner`, you need two key files: The **`evaluate.py`** script defines how to test and score your programs - it runs multiple evaluations, validates results, and aggregates them into metrics that guide the `shinka` evolution loop. The **`initial.py`** file contains your starting solution with the core algorithm that will be iteratively improved by LLMs across generations.
+
+<table>
+<tr>
+<td width="50%">
+
+**`evaluate.py` - Evaluation Script**
+
+```python
+from shinka.core import run_shinka_eval
+
+def main(program_path: str,
+         results_dir: str):
+    metrics, correct, err = run_shinka_eval(
+        program_path=program_path,
+        results_dir=results_dir,
+        experiment_fn_name="run_experiment",
+        num_runs=3, # Multi-evals to aggreg.
+        run_workers=1,  # >1 enables per-run process parallelism
+        get_experiment_kwargs=get_kwargs,
+        aggregate_metrics_fn=aggregate_fn,
+        validate_fn=validate_fn,  # Optional
+    )
+
+def get_kwargs(run_idx: int) -> dict:
+    return {"param1": "value", "param2": 42}
+
+def aggregate_fn(results: list) -> dict:
+    score = results[0]
+    text = results[1]
+    return {
+        "combined_score": float(score),
+        "public": {...},  # shinka-visible

+        "text_feedback": text,  # str fb
+    }
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    # argparse program path & dir
+    main(program_path, results_dir)
+```
+

+<td width="50%">
+
+**`initial.py` - Starting Solution**
+
+```python
+# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START
+def advanced_algo():
+    # This will be evolved
+    return solution
+# EVOLVE-BLOCK-END
+
+def run_experiment(**kwargs):
+    """Main called by evaluator"""
+    result = solve_problem(kwargs)
+    return result
+
+def solve_problem(params):
+    solution = advanced_algo()
+    return solution
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Eval name matches `experiment_fn_name`
+- Use `EVOLVE-BLOCK-START` and `EVOLVE-BLOCK-END` to mark evolution sections
+- Return format matches validation expectations
+- Dependencies must be available in env
+- Results can be unpacked for metrics
+- Auto-stores several results in `results_dir`
+- Can add text feedback in `shinka` loop
+- Higher `combined_score` values indicate better performance (maximization)

+
+## `shinka` Launcher with Hydra 🚀
+
+`shinka` Launcher utilizes [Hydra](https://hydra.cc/) to configure and launch evolutionary experiments effortlessly. It supports concise configuration via Hydra's powerful override syntax, making it easy to manage and iterate scientific explorations.
+
+```bash
+# Run with pre-configured variant
+shinka_launch variant=circle_packing_example
+
+# Run with custom parameters
+shinka_launch \
+    task=circle_packing \
+    database=island_large \
+    evolution=small_budget \
+    cluster=local \
+    evo_config.num_generations=20
+```
+
+For comprehensive configuration options and advanced usage, see the [Configuration Guide](docs/configuration.md).
+
+## `shinka_run` Agent CLI 🤖
+
+`shinka_run` is a task-directory launcher for async evolution. It is designed for agent workflows and does not require Hydra config files.
+
+```bash
+# Inspect full interface (detailed help)
+shinka_run --help
+
+# Minimal run
+shinka_run \
+    --task-dir examples/circle_packing \
+    --results_dir results/circle_agent_run \
+    --num_generations 20
+
+# Run with keyword overrides
+shinka_run \
+    --task-dir examples/circle_packing \
+    --results_dir results/circle_agent_custom \
+    --num_generations 50 \
+    --max-evaluation-jobs 6 \
+    --set db.num_islands=3 \
+    --set job.time=00:10:00 \
+    --set evo.llm_models='["gpt-5-mini","gpt-5-nano"]'
+
+# Load optional YAML config (relative to --task-dir), then override via --set
+shinka_run \
+    --task-dir examples/circle_packing \
+    --config-fname shinka_small.yaml \
+    --results_dir results/circle_agent_from_yaml \
+    --num_generations 50 \
+    --set db.num_islands=3
+```
+
+`--task-dir` must contain `evaluate.py` and `initial.<ext>`.  
+`--config-fname` can define `evo/db/job` (or `evo_config/db_config/job_config`) plus `max_evaluation_jobs/max_proposal_jobs/max_db_workers` and `verbose/debug`.  
+Precedence: config YAML < `--set` < authoritative flags.  
+`--results_dir` and `--num_generations` are authoritative and always override config/`--set` values for `evo.results_dir` and `evo.num_generations`.
+
+
+## Interactive WebUI 🎨
+
+Monitor your evolution experiments in real-time with Shinka's interactive web interface! The WebUI provides live visualization of the evolutionary process, genealogy trees, and performance metrics.

+    You are an expert mathematician specializing in circle packing problems and computational geometry. The best known result for the sum of radii when packing 26 circles in a unit square is 2.635.
+
+    Key insights to explore:
+    1. The optimal arrangement likely involves variable-sized circles
+    2. A pure hexagonal arrangement may not be optimal due to edge effects
+    3. The densest known circle packings often use a hybrid approach
+    4. The optimization routine is critically important - simple physics-based models with carefully tuned parameters
+    5. Consider strategic placement of circles at square corners and edges
+    6. Adjusting the pattern to place larger circles at the center and smaller at the edges
+    7. The math literature suggests special arrangements for specific values of n
+
+    Be creative and try to find a new solution.

+# Agentic Usage Guide
+
+This guide shows how to run Shinka with coding agents using the project skills:
+
+- `shinka-setup`: scaffold task files (`evaluate.py`, `initial.<ext>`, optional run config)
+- `shinka-run`: launch and iterate evolution batches via `shinka_run`
+- `shinka-inspect`: load top-performing programs into a compact context bundle
+
+It covers:
+- installing Shinka
+- installing Claude Code and/or Codex CLI
+- copying skill files to the right skill directories
+- running a practical setup -> run -> inspect loop
+
+## 1) Install Shinka
+
+From a clean machine:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/SakanaAI/ShinkaEvolve.git
+cd ShinkaEvolve
+
+uv venv --python 3.11
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip install -e .
+```
+
+Set API keys (example):
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env 2>/dev/null || true
+# Edit .env and add OPENAI_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY as needed
+```
+
+## 2) Install Agent CLI(s)
+
+Install one or both.
+
+### Claude Code
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
+claude --version
+```
+
+### Codex CLI
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @openai/codex
+codex --version
+```
+
+## 3) Copy Skills to Agent Skill Folders
+
+Skill source files in this repo:
+
+- `skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md`
+- `skills/shinka-run/SKILL.md`
+- `skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md`
+- optional helper scripts for setup skill:
+  - `skills/shinka-setup/scripts/run_evo.py`
+  - `skills/shinka-setup/scripts/shinka.yaml`
+- helper script for inspect skill:
+  - `skills/shinka-inspect/scripts/inspect_best_programs.py`
+
+### Claude Code skill path
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/shinka-setup ~/.claude/skills/shinka-run ~/.claude/skills/shinka-inspect
+cp skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md
+cp -R skills/shinka-setup/scripts ~/.claude/skills/shinka-setup/
+cp skills/shinka-run/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/shinka-run/SKILL.md
+cp skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md
+cp -R skills/shinka-inspect/scripts ~/.claude/skills/shinka-inspect/
+```
+
+### Codex skill path
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/shinka-setup ~/.codex/skills/shinka-run ~/.codex/skills/shinka-inspect
+cp skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md ~/.codex/skills/shinka-setup/SKILL.md
+cp -R skills/shinka-setup/scripts ~/.codex/skills/shinka-setup/

+cp skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md ~/.codex/skills/shinka-inspect/SKILL.md
+cp -R skills/shinka-inspect/scripts ~/.codex/skills/shinka-inspect/
+```
+
+## 4) Setup Skill Walkthrough (`shinka-setup`)
+
+Ask the agent to scaffold a new task directory and evaluator contract.
+
+Example prompt:
+
+```text
+Use shinka-setup to scaffold a new task in examples/my_task.
+Language: python.
+Goal: maximize <metric>.
+```
+
+Illustration (setup flow):
+
+![Claude setup step 1](media/claude_setup_1.png)
+
+![Claude setup step 2](media/claude_setup_2.png)
+
+Expected output:
+- `initial.<ext>` with evolve block
+- `evaluate.py` producing `metrics.json` + `correct.json`
+- optional `run_evo.py` / `shinka.yaml` scaffolds when requested
+
+## 5) Run Skill Walkthrough (`shinka-run`)
+
+Use `shinka_run` for agent-driven evolution loops.
+
+Minimal batch:
+
+```bash
+shinka_run \
+  --task-dir examples/my_task \
+  --results_dir results/my_task_agent \
+  --num_generations 10
+```
+
+With core knobs via `--set`:
+
+```bash
+shinka_run \
+  --task-dir examples/my_task \
+  --results_dir results/my_task_agent \
+  --num_generations 20 \
+  --set evo.max_api_costs=0.5 \
+  --set evo.llm_models='["gpt-5-mini","gpt-5-nano"]' \
+  --set db.num_islands=3 \
+  --set db.parent_selection_strategy=weighted
+```
+
+Illustration (run flow):
+
+![Claude run step 1](media/claude_run_1.png)
+
+![Claude run step 2](media/claude_run_2.png)
+
+## 6) Inspect Skill Walkthrough (`shinka-inspect`)
+
+Use `shinka-inspect` after one or more batches to generate an agent-ready context file.
+
+Minimal:
+
+```bash
+python skills/shinka-inspect/scripts/inspect_best_programs.py \
+  --results-dir results/my_task_agent \
+  --k 5
+```
+
+With filters and explicit output:
+
+```bash
+python skills/shinka-inspect/scripts/inspect_best_programs.py \
+  --results-dir results/my_task_agent \
+  --k 8 \
+  --min-generation 10 \
+  --max-code-chars 5000 \
+  --out results/my_task_agent/inspect/top_programs.md
+```
+
+Output:
+- default file: `results/my_task_agent/shinka_inspect_context.md`
+- contains ranking + code snippets for top programs
+- designed to be loaded directly into coding-agent context
+
+## 7) Batch Iteration Rules (Important)
+
+When using `shinka-run` skill:
+
+- unless user explicitly requests fully autonomous execution, ask for config confirmation between batches
+- keep `--results_dir` the same across continuation batches so prior state can reload
+- change `--results_dir` only when intentionally forking a new run
+
+## 8) Quick Validation Checklist
+
+Before first run:
+
+- `shinka_run --help` works
+- task dir has `evaluate.py` + `initial.<ext>`
+- API keys are available in environment
+- skill files are installed under `~/.claude/skills` and/or `~/.codex/skills`
+
+After each batch:
+
+- check run artifacts/logs under the chosen `results_dir`
+- review score and correctness trend
+- run `shinka-inspect` and review the generated context markdown
+- choose next batch config (budget, models, islands, attempts, generations)

+# Async Evolution Pipeline
+
+Shinka runs evolution through `ShinkaEvolveRunner`.
+Use proposal concurrency to control throughput and emulate prior sync behavior.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from shinka.core import ShinkaEvolveRunner, EvolutionConfig
+from shinka.launch import LocalJobConfig
+from shinka.database import DatabaseConfig
+
+
+evo_config = EvolutionConfig(
+    num_generations=50,
+    max_proposal_jobs=1,  # sync-like proposal behavior
+    llm_models=["gpt-5-mini"],
+)
+
+runner = ShinkaEvolveRunner(
+    evo_config=evo_config,
+    job_config=LocalJobConfig(eval_program_path="evaluate.py"),
+    db_config=DatabaseConfig(),
+)
+
+runner.run()
+```
+
+In async contexts (for example notebooks/async apps), use:
+
+```python
+await runner.run_async()
+```
+
+## Concurrency Knobs
+
+- `max_evaluation_jobs`: max concurrent evaluation jobs.
+- `max_proposal_jobs`: max concurrent proposal generation jobs.
+- `max_db_workers`: max async database worker threads.
+
+`max_proposal_jobs=1` gives sequential proposal generation behavior.
+
+## ShinkaEvolveRunner Parameters
+
+```python
+ShinkaEvolveRunner(
+    evo_config=EvolutionConfig(...),
+    job_config=JobConfig(...),
+    db_config=DatabaseConfig(...),
+    verbose=True,
+    max_evaluation_jobs=2,
+    max_proposal_jobs=None,    # defaults to evo_config.max_proposal_jobs
+    max_db_workers=None,       # defaults to evo_config.max_db_workers
+)
+```
+
+## Recommended Settings
+
+| Scale | max_evaluation_jobs | max_proposal_jobs |
+|-------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| Sequential-like | 1-4 | 1 |
+| Small | <= 10 | 2-5 |
+| Medium | 10-50 | 5-10 |
+| Large | 50+ | 10-20 |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Too many requests: reduce `max_proposal_jobs`.
+- Memory pressure: lower `max_proposal_jobs` and `max_evaluation_jobs`.
+- DB contention: lower `max_db_workers`.
+- File I/O errors: ensure `aiofiles` installed.

+### Database Presets
+
+All `configs/database/*.yaml` override `DatabaseConfig` defaults only for listed keys.
+
+#### `configs/database/island_small.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+db_config:
+  db_path: "evolution_db.sqlite"
+  num_islands: 2
+  archive_size: 20
+  exploitation_ratio: 0.2
+  elite_selection_ratio: 0.3
+  num_archive_inspirations: 4
+  num_top_k_inspirations: 2
+  migration_interval: 10
+  migration_rate: 0.1
+  island_elitism: true
+```
+
+#### `configs/database/island_medium.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+db_config:
+  db_path: "evolution_db.sqlite"
+  num_islands: 2
+  archive_size: 40
+  exploitation_ratio: 0.2
+  elite_selection_ratio: 0.3
+  num_archive_inspirations: 4

+  migration_interval: 10
+  migration_rate: 0.0
+  island_elitism: true
+  parent_selection_strategy: "weighted"
+  parent_selection_lambda: 10.0
+```
+
+#### `configs/database/island_large.yaml`
+
+```yaml
+db_config:
+  db_path: "evolution_db.sqlite"
+  num_islands: 5
+  archive_size: 40
+  elite_selection_ratio: 0.3
+  num_archive_inspirations: 4
+  num_top_k_inspirations: 2
+  migration_interval: 10
+  migration_rate: 0.1
+  island_elitism: true
+  parent_selection_strategy: "weighted"
+  exploitation_alpha: 1.0
+  exploitation_ratio: 0.2
+  parent_selection_lambda: 10.0
+```
+
+### Cluster Presets
+
+- `configs/cluster/local.yaml`
+  - `job_config: LocalJobConfig`
+  - `job_config.eval_program_path: ${distributed_job_config.eval_program_path}`
+  - `evo_config.job_type: "local"`
+- `configs/cluster/remote.yaml`
+  - `job_config: ${distributed_job_config}`
+- `configs/cluster/gcp.yaml`
+  - inherits `remote`
+  - overrides `distributed_job_config.partition: "a3,aisci"`
+
+### Task Presets (Current)
+
+Only these task files currently exist:
+
+- `configs/task/circle_packing.yaml`
+- `configs/task/novelty_generator.yaml`
+
+Both define task-specific `evaluate_function`, `distributed_job_config`, and `evo_config` task prompt/init path.
+
+## Current Hydra Composition Defaults
+
+`configs/config.yaml` defaults chain:
+
+```yaml
+defaults:
+  - _self_
+  - database@_global_: island_small
+  - evolution@_global_: small_budget
+  - task@_global_: circle_packing
+  - cluster@_global_: local
+  - variant@_global_: circle_packing_example
+```
+
+Then `variant=circle_packing_example` overrides to:
+
+- `database=island_large`
+- `evolution=large_budget`
+- `task=circle_packing`
+- `cluster=local`
+
+So default `shinka_launch` behavior is effectively the `circle_packing_example` preset stack unless you override.
+
+## `shinka_run` Config File Schema
+
+`shinka_run --config-fname <yaml>` accepts:
+
+- Namespaces: `evo`, `db`, `job` (aliases: `evo_config`, `db_config`, `job_config`)
+- Runner keys: `max_evaluation_jobs`, `max_proposal_jobs`, `max_db_workers`, `verbose`, `debug`
+
+Precedence for `shinka_run`:
+
+1. defaults from CLI builder
+2. config YAML (`--config-fname`)
+3. `--set` overrides
+4. authoritative flags:
+   - `--results_dir` always sets `evo.results_dir`
+   - `--num_generations` always sets `evo.num_generations`
