+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Initialize with your current CLAUDE.md
+node scripts/gepa/optimize.js init ./CLAUDE.md
+
+# 2. Run full optimization (10 generations)
+node scripts/gepa/optimize.js run
+
+# 3. Apply the best result
+cp scripts/gepa/generations/current ./CLAUDE.md
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `init [path]` | Initialize with a CLAUDE.md file |
+| `mutate` | Generate new prompt variants |
+| `eval [variant]` | Run evals on a specific variant |
+| `score` | Score all variants and select best |
+| `run [N]` | Full optimization loop for N generations |
+| `status` | Show current optimization status |
+| `diff [a] [b]` | Compare two variants |
+
+## Mutation Strategies
+
+GEPA uses 6 mutation strategies, cycling through them:
+
+1. **rephrase** - Reword for clarity without changing meaning
+2. **add_examples** - Add concrete examples where abstract
+3. **remove_redundancy** - DRY up repetitive instructions
+4. **restructure** - Reorganize for better flow
+5. **add_constraints** - Add guardrails for failure modes
+6. **simplify** - Break down complex rules
+
+## Reflection (Key Innovation)
+
+Unlike random mutations, GEPA analyzes **why** prompts fail:
+
+```bash
+# Analyze session patterns
+node scripts/gepa/hooks/reflect.js analyze
+
+# Generate targeted improvements
+node scripts/gepa/hooks/reflect.js reflect
+```
+
+The reflection engine examines:
+- Common error patterns
+- Tool call success rates
+- User feedback (thumbs up/down)
+- Performance by variant
+
+Then generates **targeted** mutation suggestions.
+
+## Hook Integration
+
+To track real usage for evals, add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "postToolCall": [
+      {
+        "command": "node ~/.claude/gepa/hooks/eval-tracker.js track-tool"
+      }
+    ],
+    "postSession": [
+      {
+        "command": "node ~/.claude/gepa/hooks/eval-tracker.js save"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or use the StackMemory daemon integration:
+
+```bash
+# Add to your .env
+GEPA_ENABLED=true
+GEPA_DIR=~/.claude/gepa
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit `config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "evolution": {
+    "populationSize": 4,      // Variants per generation
+    "generations": 10,        // Max generations
+    "selectionRate": 0.5      // Top 50% survive
+  },
+  "evals": {
+    "minSamplesPerVariant": 5,  // Evals per variant
+    "timeout": 120000            // 2 min per eval
+  },
+  "scoring": {
+    "threshold": 0.8           // Stop when 80% success
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Writing Good Evals
+
+Evals live in `evals/*.jsonl`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "eval-001",
+  "name": "simple_function",
+  "prompt": "Write a function that checks if a string is a palindrome",
+  "expected": {
+    "has_function": true,
+    "handles_edge_cases": true
+  },
+  "weight": 1.0
+}
+```
+
+### Expected Checks
+
+| Check | What It Looks For |
+|-------|-------------------|
+| `has_function` | Function definition in output |
+| `handles_edge_cases` | Null/empty/edge case handling |
+| `uses_async` | async/await usage |
+| `bug_fixed` | Fix-related language |
+| `explains_fix` | Explanation of changes |
+| Custom key | Looks for key as substring |
+

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with good evals** - Garbage in, garbage out
+2. **Run multiple generations** - Improvements compound
+3. **Review diffs** - Understand what changed
+4. **Keep baseline** - Always compare against original
+5. **Monitor for drift** - Watch for unintended changes
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+$ node optimize.js run 3
+
+============================================================
+GENERATION 1/3
+============================================================
+
+Generating 4 variants for generation 1...
+  Creating variant-a using strategy: rephrase

+  3. variant-c: 70.0%
+  4. variant-d: 68.0%
+  5. baseline: 65.0%
+

+============================================================
+Best variant: variant-b
+Best score: 85.2%

+
+To apply: cp generations/current /path/to/your/CLAUDE.md
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"claude CLI not found"**
+Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` for API fallback.
+
+**Slow evals**
+Reduce `minSamplesPerVariant` in config.
+
+**Poor results**
+Add more diverse evals covering failure modes.
+
+**Drift from original intent**
+Add evals that test for desired behaviors explicitly.

+- MCP Server: src/integrations/mcp/server.ts
+- Frame Manager: src/core/context/frame-manager.ts
+- Database: src/core/database/sqlite-adapter.ts
+
+## Detailed Guides
+
+Quick reference (agent_docs/):
+- linear_integration.md - Linear sync
+- mcp_server.md - MCP tools
+- database_storage.md - Storage
+- claude_hooks.md - Hooks
+
+Full documentation (docs/):

+## Commands
+
+```bash
+npm run build          # Compile TypeScript (esbuild)
+npm run lint           # ESLint check
+npm run lint:fix       # Auto-fix lint issues
+npm test               # Run Vitest (watch)
+npm run test:run       # Run tests once
+npm run linear:sync    # Sync with Linear
+
+# StackMemory CLI
+stackmemory capture    # Save session state for handoff
+stackmemory restore    # Restore from captured state
+```
+
+## Working Directory
+
+- PRIMARY: /Users/jwu/Dev/stackmemory
+- ALLOWED: All subdirectories
+- TEMP: /tmp for temporary operations
+
+## Validation (MUST DO)
+
+After code changes:
+1. `npm run lint` - fix any errors AND warnings
+2. `npm run test:run` - verify no regressions
+3. `npm run build` - ensure compilation
+4. Run code to verify it works
+
+Test coverage:
+- New features require tests in `src/**/__tests__/`
+- Maintain or improve coverage (no untested code paths)
+- Critical paths: context management, handoff, Linear sync
+
+Never: Assume success | Skip testing | Use mock data as fallback
+
+## Git Rules (CRITICAL)
+
+- NEVER use `--no-verify` on git push or commit
+- ALWAYS fix lint/test errors before pushing
+- If pre-push hooks fail, fix the underlying issue
+- Run `npm run lint && npm run test:run` before pushing
+- Commit message format: `type(scope): message`
+- Branch naming: `feature/STA-XXX-description` | `fix/STA-XXX-description` | `chore/description`
+
+## Task Management
+
+- Use TodoWrite for 3+ steps or multiple requests
+- Keep one task in_progress at a time
+- Update task status immediately on completion
+
+## Security
+
+NEVER hardcode secrets - use process.env with dotenv/config
+
+```javascript
+import 'dotenv/config';
+const API_KEY = process.env.LINEAR_API_KEY;
+if (!API_KEY) {
+  console.error('LINEAR_API_KEY not set');
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+```
+
+Environment sources (check in order):
+1. .env file
+2. .env.local
+3. ~/.zshrc
+4. Process environment
+
+Secret patterns to block: lin_api_* | lin_oauth_* | sk-* | npm_*
+
+## Workflow
+
+- Check .env for API keys before asking
+- Run npm run linear:sync after task completion
+- Use browser MCP for visual testing
+- Review recent commits and stackmemory.json on session start
+- Use subagents for multi-step tasks
+- Ask 1-3 clarifying questions for complex commands (one at a time)
