What it does

Gauntlet Curate is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Audits the DSA problem bank for coverage gaps and proposes new YAML entries. Use when refreshing the problem bank during update-plugins runs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test coverage. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

“/gauntlet-curate”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Locate the problem bank at plugins/gauntlet/data/problems/.
Survey current coverage by counting problems in each YAML
Identify gaps: categories whose actual count falls below
Review existing problems in each gap category to understand
Propose new YAML entries following the schema below.
Validate proposals by running
Present the report to the human for review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gauntlet Curate loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Gauntlet Curate

Survey the DSA problem bank, identify coverage gaps, and propose new YAML entries for human review.

When NOT To Use

Annotating this codebase rather than the problem bank (use gauntlet:curate)
Rebuilding the knowledge base (use gauntlet:extract)

When This Skill Fires

Invoke this skill manually with Skill(gauntlet:gauntlet-curate) when the problem bank needs a coverage review. The skill is intended to participate in /update-plugins runs but is not yet wired into that command (see openpackage.yml registration). It is distinct from gauntlet:curate, which handles per-annotation knowledge capture and is what /gauntlet-curate invokes today.

Steps

Locate the problem bank at plugins/gauntlet/data/problems/. Read _manifest.yaml to load the expected NeetCode counts per category.
Survey current coverage by counting problems in each YAML file (skipping _manifest.yaml). Run the analysis script:
bash
```
cd plugins/gauntlet
python scripts/curate_problems.py data/problems/ --output /tmp/gauntlet-curate-report.md
```
Identify gaps: categories whose actual count falls below the neetcode_count in the manifest. The script sorts gaps largest-first so the worst shortfalls appear at the top.
Review existing problems in each gap category to understand what is already covered before proposing additions.
Propose new YAML entries following the schema below. Add proposals to the report under "Proposed New Problems". Do NOT write proposals directly into data/problems/*.yaml.

Validate proposals by running:

bash

python -c "
import yaml, sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'src')
from gauntlet.models import BankProblem
proposals = yaml.safe_load(open('proposals.yaml'))
for p in proposals:
    BankProblem.from_dict(p)
print('All proposals valid.')
"

Present the report to the human for review. The report includes the coverage table, gap list, and proposed entries. The human decides which proposals to merge into the YAML files.

Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less

Problem Schema

Each proposed entry must follow this schema:

yaml

- id: category-NNN
  title: Problem Title
  difficulty: easy       # easy | medium | hard | extra_hard
  prompt: |
    Problem statement with constraints and examples.
  hints:
    - First hint.
    - Second hint.
  solution_outline: |
    Approach and time/space complexity.
  tags: [tag1, tag2]
  neetcode_id: neetcode-NNN
  challenge_type: explain_why  # explain_why | multiple_choice | trace
                                # | code_complete | debug | rank

Required fields: id, title, difficulty, prompt. Optional fields default to empty values.

Safety Constraints

Never modify files under data/problems/ directly.
Never run with a --write or --fix flag: the script intentionally has none.
All output is a proposal report for human approval.
Existing hand-curated problems are never touched.

Output

A markdown report at the path specified by --output, containing:

Coverage summary table (expected vs. actual per category)
Gaps list sorted by missing count
YAML schema template for new proposals
Space for the human reviewer to add proposed entries

Human review is required before any YAML file changes.

Exit Criteria

Script runs without error and produces a markdown report at the path given to --output (e.g., /tmp/gauntlet-curate-report.md)
Report contains a coverage summary table comparing expected neetcode_count versus actual count for every category in _manifest.yaml, with gaps sorted largest-first
No files under plugins/gauntlet/data/problems/ are modified; all proposals appear only in the report under "Proposed New Problems"
Every proposed YAML entry passes BankProblem.from_dict() validation (required fields: id, title, difficulty, prompt) before appearing in the report
