## 1. Choose a Benchmark
SkillOpt includes ready-to-use configs for several benchmarks:
SkillOpt includes ready-to-use configs for several benchmarks. End-to-end
runtime depends on the chosen models, provider latency, worker limits, and
dataset size, so the project does not promise fixed wall-clock estimates.
| Benchmark | Difficulty | Typical Runtime |
| Benchmark | Modality | Additional setup |
|---|---|---|
| SearchQA | ⭐ Easy | ~30 min |
| DocVQA | ⭐⭐ Medium | ~2 hours |
| ALFWorld | ⭐⭐⭐ Hard | ~3 hours |
| SearchQA | Text QA | Materialize the released ID manifest |
| DocVQA | Document/image QA | Obtain and materialize images and examples |
| ALFWorld | Embodied agent | Install ALFWorld and download its assets |
We'll use **SearchQA** as it's the fastest to complete.
We'll use **SearchQA** because it is the simplest text-only walkthrough.
## 2. Configure
## 2. Install and Materialize SearchQA
The repository contains a stable SearchQA ID manifest, not the full runnable
examples. From a source checkout, install the data extra and materialize the
split once:
```bash
python -m pip install -e ".[searchqa]"
python scripts/materialize_searchqa.py
```
By default, the materializer reads `data/searchqa_id_split/` and writes the
train/validation/test payloads expected by the config to
`data/searchqa_split/`; both paths have command-line overrides.
## 3. Configure
Configure and export one model backend as described in
[Installation](installation.md#environment-variables). For example:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env, choose one authentication mode, then export it:
set -a; source .env; set +a
```
Review the config file:

The command prints the resolved backend/data configuration, per-step rollout
and gate progress, and the generated output directory.
## 5. Monitor
The explicit `--out_root` above creates this run directory:
```
[Step 1/8] Rollout: 20 items, 4 workers...
[Step 1/8] Score: 0.65 → Reflect...
[Step 1/8] 6 edit patches generated

Training outputs are saved to `outputs/<benchmark>/<run_id>/`:

## 6. Evaluate
Evaluate the best skill on the test split:
```bash
python scripts/eval_only.py \
--config configs/searchqa/default.yaml \
--skill outputs/searchqa/<run_id>/skills/best_skill.md
--skill outputs/searchqa_first_run/best_skill.md \
--split valid_unseen
```
The `--skill` path above is the training artifact. Evaluation writes
`eval_summary.json` to its own timestamped `outputs/eval_.../` directory unless
you pass an explicit `--out_root`; it does not overwrite the training run.
