AutoFyn

Run Claude in self-improving loops to optimize measurable goals.

built the #1 Spider 2.0 DBT agent · found 203 vulnerabilities across popular OSS · improved Caveman compression from 44% to 54%

Give it a repo, a goal, and a time limit. Walk away. Come back to a PR.

Each round runs Claude in a sandboxed Docker container with fresh context. A persistent run state tracks the goal, eval history, and learned rules across rounds — the agent measures progress, learns from failures, and improves instead of degrading.

Software engineering

• SignalPilot — built a data analysis agent from scratch, #1 on the Spider 2.0 dbt benchmark.
• Caveman — optimized the prompt compression skill by +10% without quality loss (write-up).

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/SignalPilot-Labs/AutoFyn.git ~/.autofyn
pip install ~/.autofyn/cli
autofyn update && autofyn start

If your agent needs docker access, run

autofyn start --allow-docker

Two release channels:

• autofyn update --branch production — stable (recommended)
• autofyn update --branch main — nightly (latest features)

Open localhost:3400 for the dashboard. AutoFyn auto-detects your Claude token, GitHub token, and repo from your local git remote.

Pick a starter preset — Security hardening, Bug sweep, Code quality, or Test coverage — or write your own goal:

autofyn run new -p "Optimize the algorithm to hit 60% compression ratio without further quality loss" -d 120

To configure manually:

autofyn settings set --claude-token YOUR_KEY --git-token YOUR_TOKEN --github-repo owner/repo

How it works

LLM agents that run in a loop hit three failure modes: context grows until the model loses track, mistakes repeat because nothing is learned between iterations, and the agent can't tell whether it's making progress or going in circles. AutoFyn's round loop addresses each one. The structure resembles RLHF — subagents generate output, reviewers score it, the orchestrator updates behavior for the next round — but in prompt space, not weight space.

• State, not context. Each round gets a clean context window. Cross-round knowledge lives in /tmp/memory/ — run_state.md (goal, eval history, rules) and per-subagent rule files. Context never degrades because it never accumulates.
• Dense reward signal. Every round ends with a real eval: run the benchmark, execute the exploit, check the test suite. The score delta is appended to eval history so the orchestrator can track progress across rounds.
• Policy updates from failures. Reviewer findings and repeated mistakes become persistent Rules: ALWAYS: run migrations before tests (because round 4 broke prod, round 4). Global rules are injected into every subagent. Per-subagent rules (e.g. architect.md, code-reviewer.md) let each subagent accumulate domain-specific knowledge across rounds.
• Honest feedback loop. Reviewers are independent. A round that improves the metric but violates a constraint is rejected. The agent corrects course instead of reinforcing bad decisions.
• Time-locked episodes. end_session is denied until the budget expires. It iterates toward the target for the full duration.
• Custom subagents. A repo can drop a .autofyn/subagents.json to bring its own subagents — adding new ones or overriding the shipped team by name — to tailor the pipeline to a domain (ML research, formal proofs, data work). See Custom Subagents.

Remote sandboxes

Runs can execute on remote machines (HPC clusters, GPU servers) instead of local Docker. AutoFyn SSH-tunnels to the remote, streams logs back, and manages the lifecycle automatically.

See docs/user/remote-sandboxes.md for setup, start command examples, GPU access, and troubleshooting.

Responsible disclosure

All vulnerabilities were privately disclosed to maintainers before any public mention. Full reports are withheld until patches are available.
