Jane Street Puzzle Archivist

Use this skill to keep Jane Street puzzle work reproducible, archived, and reusable.

When to Use

  • A new monthly Jane Street puzzle is live.
  • An existing month needs solver cleanup, answer submission, or better notes.
  • You need to compare the current puzzle with prior public solution repos.
  • You want to turn puzzle-solving experience into reusable scripts, docs, or skills.

Workflow

  1. Run python3 scripts/current_puzzle.py to inspect the live puzzle metadata.
  2. If it is a new month, run python3 scripts/current_puzzle.py --init and work inside puzzles/YYYY/YYYY-MM-slug/.
  3. Refresh the reference index with python3 scripts/index_reference_repos.py.
  4. Read:
    • references/reference-repos.md
    • references/solving-patterns.md
  5. Solve the puzzle with a reproducible script stored in the month folder.
  6. Record the answer and submission status in that month's README.md and submission.json.
  7. If you learned a reusable technique, update this skill or the repo knowledge files before finishing.

Required structure

  • Each puzzle lives under puzzles/YYYY/YYYY-MM-slug/.
  • Keep the puzzle asset, solver, notes, metadata, and submission record together.
  • Do not commit refs/ or .omx/.

Publishing

  • This skill can be published directly with:
    • clawhub publish .agents/skills/jane-street-puzzle-archivist --slug jane-street-puzzle-archivist --name "Jane Street Puzzle Archivist" --version <semver>
  • If the skill changes materially, publish a new version after verifying the references still match the repo workflow.
