At a glance

A skill your agent uses for Optuna hyperparameter optimization workflows: studies, trials, samplers, pruners, storage, CLI, visualization, artifacts, integrations, and advanced APIs.

  • Optuna hyperparameter optimization workflows: studies
  • SKILL.md covers First Checks, Route by Task, Common Workflow Composition and Safe Bundled Diagnostics, plus 1 more section
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

Optuna is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use this skill for Optuna hyperparameter optimization workflows: studies, trials, samplers, pruners, storage, CLI, visualization, artifacts, integrations, and advanced APIs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/package-overview.md`, `references/repo-provenance.md` and `references/repo-routing-metadata.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning.

When your agent uses it

  • Optuna hyperparameter optimization workflows: studies

Example prompts

  • “/optuna”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Optuna loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 424 words (~1,156 tokens).

“Use this skill when working with Optuna, a Python framework for hyperparameter optimization. It routes tasks across study/trial workflows, search algorithms, pruning, persistent storage, CLI operations, result analysis, visualization, artifacts, integrations, and advanced APIs.”
