+# Live A/B metrics
+
+Use `defineAB` to compare variants on live agent sessions. New sessions
+receive a sticky assignment in each enrolled experiment. The Agent SDK folds
+their durable event streams into tool, token, failure, and wall-time
+metrics. You can send cumulative samples to your metrics backend and
+inspect aggregates in the playground.
+
+`defineAB` compares live variants through sticky assignment,
+instruction overlays, optional tool branches, and cumulative metrics.
+Metric callbacks observe the result without approving, rejecting, or
+failing a turn. Use [evals](/docs/evals.md) for pass/fail regression checks
+on fixed inputs.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Import paths here use `@cursor/july/ab`. On projects still
+> using `@anysphere/agent-serve`, swap the import. See
+> [Run the CLI](/docs/index.md#run-the-cli) for the full rename table.
+
+## Choose live A/B metrics or evals
+
+Both features read the session event stream, but they answer different
+questions.
+
+| | Live A/B metrics | Evals |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Question | How do variants compare on live sessions? | Does the agent still meet a fixed contract? |
+| Location | `agent/ab.ts` or `agent/ab/<name>.ts` | `evals/**/*.eval.ts` |
+| Input | Dev or production traffic | Frozen prompts and fixtures |
+| Output | Cumulative metrics by session and arm | Pass/fail assertions |
+| How it runs | Automatically on new live sessions | `agent-sdk eval` |
+
+There is no `agent-sdk ab` command or assertion API.
+
+## Define an experiment
+
+Author one experiment in `agent/ab.ts`, add more under
+`agent/ab/<name>.ts`, or use both forms. Each file defines one
+experiment. The experiment name comes from `name` when set. Otherwise,
+The Agent SDK uses `ab` for `agent/ab.ts` and the file stem for files under
+`agent/ab/`.
+
+```ts
+// agent/ab/concise-weather.ts
+import {
+  defineAB,
+  splitBySessionHash,
+} from "@cursor/july/ab";
+
+export default defineAB({
+  name: "concise-weather",
+  variants: {
+    control: {
+      label: "Baseline",
+    },
+    treatment: {
+      label: "Short replies",
+      description: "Adds a one-paragraph response limit.",
+      instructions: "Keep weather replies to one short paragraph.",
+    },
+  },
+  split: splitBySessionHash({
+    weights: { control: 1, treatment: 1 },
+    holdout: 0.1,
+  }),
+  derive: {
+    weatherCalls: (event) =>
+      event.type === "action.result" &&
+      event.data.toolName === "get_weather"
+        ? 1
+        : null,
+  },
+  onSample(sample) {
+    console.log(
+      sample.experiment,
+      sample.variant,
+      sample.metrics.toolCalls,
+      sample.metrics.wallTimeMs
+    );
+  },
+});
+```
+
+Every definition needs:
+
+- At least two variants. Variant keys cannot be empty or contain `/` or
+  `\`.
+- A `split` function that returns a variant key or `null`.
+- An `onSample` callback for completed or failed turns.
+
+`label` and `description` appear with the arm in result surfaces.
+`instructions` changes the prompt for sessions in that arm. `derive`
+adds custom counters.
+
+Duplicate experiment names are validation errors. Check discovery
+before you serve:
+
+```bash
+agent-sdk validate --dir .
+agent-sdk info --dir . --json
+```
+
+The `abs` field in `info` lists the discovered experiment names.
+
+## Assign sticky variants
+
+Enrollment happens once, when a live session is created and before its
+first turn:
+
+1. The Agent SDK records `session.started`.
+2. Each experiment runs its `split` function.
+3. The Agent SDK records one durable `ab.assigned` event per experiment.
+4. The selected arms become available on `session.abs`.
+5. Variant instruction overlays reach the first model turn.
+
+A split can return a variant key or `null`. A null assignment is a
+sticky skip for that experiment. It increments the experiment's
+`skipped` total, still appears in the snapshot's `sessions` list with
+`variant: null`, and does not collect arm metrics or call `onSample`.
+
+Use the split helper that matches your rollout:
+
+| Helper | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| `splitBySessionHash({ weights?, holdout?, salt? })` | Hashes the session id into a reproducible arm; the recommended default |
+| `splitByRandom({ weights?, holdout? })` | Draws once when the session starts, then persists the result |
+| `splitAlways("control")` | Pins every new session to one arm |
+| `splitNone()` | Skips every new session without deleting the experiment |
+| `splitIf(predicate, inner)` | Runs `inner` only when the predicate passes |
+| Custom `split(ctx)` | Returns a declared variant key or `null` |
+
+The split context includes the agent name, channel id, session info,
+experiment name, and declared variant keys. For example, enroll only
+Slack sessions:
+
+```ts
+split: splitIf(
+  (ctx) => ctx.channel.id === "slack",
+  splitBySessionHash()
+),
+```
+
+Weights default to equal. Non-positive weights leave an arm out of the
+draw, and at least one arm must have a positive weight. `holdout` is the
+fraction of sessions assigned `null`, from `0` through `1`. Change
+`salt` to reshuffle future hash assignments without renaming the
+experiment.
+
+If a custom split throws or returns an unknown variant, the Agent SDK logs
+the error and records `variant: null`. The failed decision becomes a
+sticky skip instead of breaking the session.
+
+Enrollment only applies to new sessions. Adding an experiment does not
+assign existing conversations. Follow-ups keep the session's original
+arms. Keep experiment names and variant keys stable while you collect
+and compare results.
+
+## Change behavior by variant
+
+Variant instructions are appended to the agent's base instructions.
+Local sessions receive the merged instructions in `AGENTS.md` before
+every turn. Cloud sessions receive them in the first-turn preamble
+only. For cloud follow-ups, branch through `session.abs` when the arm
+must remain visible to deterministic behavior.
+
+Tools can branch on the assignment through `ctx.session.abs`. Hooks can
+read the same field for logging or export:
+
+```ts
+const treatment =
+  ctx.session.abs?.["concise-weather"] === "treatment";
+
+if (treatment) {
+  return conciseWeatherResult;
+}
+
+return baselineWeatherResult;
+```
+
+This makes the assignment available to deterministic code as well as
+the model prompt. Use both patterns together when one experiment must
+steer the prompt and host code at once.
+
+`defineAB` does not select a different model or runtime for each arm.
+Keep those settings in `agent/agent.ts`, or write explicit host logic
+when your experiment needs another behavior lever.
+
+The split and selected arm can affect agent behavior. `derive` and
+`onSample` only observe the resulting event stream. Errors in either
+callback are logged and never fail the turn.
+
+## Collect built-in and custom metrics
+
+Metrics accumulate for each session and experiment. When one session
+joins several experiments, every enrolled experiment folds the same
+turn and tool events into its own counters.
+
+| Metric | How the Agent SDK calculates it |
+| --- | --- |
+| `turns` | Adds one on `turn.completed` or `turn.failed` |
+| `turnFailures` | Adds one on `turn.failed` |
+| `toolCalls` | Adds one for each `action.result` |
+| `toolErrors` | Adds one when `action.result.data.isError` is true |
+| `inputTokens`, `outputTokens` | Adds usage from completed turns |
+| `cacheReadTokens`, `cacheWriteTokens` | Adds cache usage from completed turns |
+| `costUsd` | Sums the estimated turn cost recorded on `turn.completed` (turns whose model has no known rates contribute 0) |
+| `wallTimeMs` | Sums the time from `turn.started` to its completed or failed event |
+| `custom` | Sums finite numeric deltas returned by `derive` |
+
+`onSample` fires after every `turn.completed` and `turn.failed` event
+for an enrolled arm. The sample contains:
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| `experiment` | Experiment name |
+| `variant`, `variantLabel?` | Sticky arm and optional display label |
+| `sessionId`, `channelId` | Source session |
+| `metrics` | Cumulative metrics through this turn |
+| `reason` | `turn.completed` or `turn.failed` |
+| `at` | Terminal event timestamp |
+
+The metrics are cumulative, not per-turn deltas. A second sample from
+the same session includes the first turn's counts.
+
+Each `derive` extractor runs on every session event for its enrolled
+experiment, including streamed `message.appended` events. Keep it
+synchronous and cheap. Return a finite number to add a delta, or
+`null` to skip the event. Send samples to your metrics service from
+`onSample`; do not perform network or disk work in `derive`.
+
+Skipped sessions never call `onSample`. Errors from `derive` or
+`onSample` are logged, then metric collection continues.
+
+## Inspect assignments and results
+
+Open the playground's **A/Bs** tab to see aggregate arm totals and
+per-session assignments. The tab reads `GET /v1/abs`.
+
+The response has two views of the same durable data:
+
+| Field | Contents |
+| --- | --- |
+| `experiments` | Declared variants, skipped-session count, arm session counts, and aggregate metrics |
+| `sessions` | Visible sessions with their assignments and cumulative metrics |
+
+`GET /v1/abs` returns sessions visible to the current principal by
+default. In `--dev`, loopback requests include every session. Add
+`--allow-anonymous` to include every session from non-loopback callers
+too. This include-all behavior can still apply to `GET /v1/abs` in dev
+when bearer or custom auth keeps `GET /v1/sessions` owner-scoped.
+
+Session `events.ndjson` is the source of truth for assignment + fold.
+`GET /v1/abs` recomputes aggregates from those logs. Any
+`agent/storage.ts` exports samples and snapshots durably: an authored
+`abs` table when the backend has a native shape for it, or the table
+derived over the KV core otherwise. See
+[Storage](/docs/storage.md#eval-and-a-b-tables).
+
+## Configure the playground fold window
+
+Assignments and foldable metrics already persist in each session's
+`events.ndjson` under `--state-root`. The optional `agent/ab.config.ts`
+only caps how many sessions the playground and `GET /v1/abs` fold:
+
+```ts
+import { defineABConfig } from "@cursor/july/ab";
+
+export default defineABConfig({
+  // Optional — defaults to 200. Only affects GET /v1/abs / A/Bs tab.
+  maxPlaygroundSessions: 500,
+});
+```
+
+`maxPlaygroundSessions` keeps the newest sessions in the fold. It does
+not prune session logs or change assignment. For export to S3, a DB, or
+your metrics vendor, send samples from `onSample` or declare a storage
+`abs` table.
+
+## Keep assignments durable
+
+The append-only `events.ndjson` stream is the source of truth. Each
+`ab.assigned` event persists a variant key or null skip. Built-in
+metrics come from the turn and tool events that follow it.
+
+After a server restart or a parked session resumes, the live collector
+replays the stream to rebuild cumulative counters. Replay does not call
+`onSample` (or write to the storage `abs` table) for historical turns.
+Only a new completed or failed turn emits another sample.
+
+The snapshot API also replays `derive` across the full stream, so
+custom totals match the current extractor. Changing a derive function
+can change historical snapshot totals. Treat metric definitions as
+versioned experiment code.
+
+## Keep eval traffic separate
+
+Sessions created by `agent-sdk eval` and the playground Evals runner use
+`purpose: "eval"`. They skip A/B enrollment entirely:
+
+- No split function runs.
+- No `ab.assigned` event is recorded.
+- No `onSample` callback fires.
+- The session is omitted from `GET /v1/abs`.
+
+Ordinary chat, `agent-sdk run`, Slack, GitHub, and other channel sessions
+use the live purpose. You do not need `splitIf` to exclude eval traffic.
+
+## Know the boundaries
+
+`defineAB` provides sticky assignment, variant instructions,
+`session.abs` for tools, cumulative metrics, and local inspection. It
+does not provide:
+
+- A test command, assertion API, or pass/fail result
+- Statistical significance calculations
+- An experiment rollout or lifecycle service
+- Per-variant model or runtime configuration
+- A built-in analytics warehouse (bring your own via `onSample` or the
+  storage `abs` table)
+
+Use [evals](/docs/evals.md) to protect known behavior. Use `onSample` or a
+storage `abs` table when you need sample/snapshot exports beyond the
+session event log.
