Working with Opulent

Session insights

A completed run leaves an operating record. Ask it specific questions.

Opulent can inspect one or more completed sessions to explain why a run succeeded or failed, where it spent time or compute, which dead ends it tried, which missing context caused rework, which parts of the method should be reused, and how a future request or Skill should change.

Ask a specific question

VagueSpecific
What happened?Which missing source caused the reconciliation to restart, and what preflight check would catch it next time?
Why was this slow?Which step consumed the most compute, and was it doing work a deterministic check could have done?
Did it work?Which acceptance criteria were verified with evidence, and which were asserted without it?

A broad question produces a recap. A specific one points at a change you can make.

Comparing runs

When a Skill starts performing poorly, compare successful and failed sessions rather than rewriting the procedure from memory. Update the smallest part that explains the failure: an input check, a tool sequence, an exception rule, an output schema, or a validation step.

Test a candidate Skill on a held-out case before broad use. A change that fixes the run it was derived from tells you very little.
