# AxAgent Optimize For Go

This skill helps an agent write Go code with the generated Ax package `github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go`. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.

## When To Use

- Optimize an AxAgent or reusable program component.
- Mine grounded weaknesses from failed agent tasks and keep only playbook proposals that pass the verification gate.
- Create evaluator callbacks and persist optimizer artifacts.
- Keep optimization runs bounded by explicit budgets and dataset rows.

## Package Facts

- Language: Go.
- Package: `github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go`.
- Package API docs: `API.md` and `axir-api.json`.
- Capability manifest: `axir-capabilities.json`.
- Runnable examples: `examples/`.
- Real network support: yes.
- Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
- Runtime profiles: `javascript-goja`.

## Core Pattern

```go
engine := ax.NewGEPA(reflectionClient, nil)
result := engine.Optimize(request, evaluator)
```

## Relevant API Surface

- Agents And RLM: `axllm.NewAgent`, `axllm.AxAgent`, `AxAgent.AddChildAgent`, `AxAgent.StreamingForward`
- Optimizers: `axllm.Optimize`, `axllm.Playbook`, `axllm.AxPlaybook`, `axllm.AxBootstrapFewShot`, `axllm.AxGEPA`, `axllm.OptimizerEngine`, `axllm.OptimizerEvaluator`

## Guardrails

- Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
- Use `provider-api` examples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available.
- Use `no-key` examples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping.
- Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
- Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from `tools/*/skills/` into user packages.
