GAIA Submission Skill
Walk Claude Code through every step needed to go from a clean environment to a signed, HAL-compatible submission package ready to upload to the Princeton GAIA leaderboard.
When to use
When the user wants to:
- Run a benchmark and submit results to the HAL leaderboard
- Package an existing results file into a submission archive
- Confirm their environment is ready for a benchmark run
Prerequisites
Before starting, confirm these are available:
| Requirement | Check |
|---|---|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
echo ${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY:0:8}… (should show sk-ant-…) |
HF_TOKEN |
echo ${HF_TOKEN:0:5}… (should show hf_…) |
| Node.js 20+ | node --version |
| CLI built | node v3/@claude-flow/cli/bin/cli.js --version |
Phase 1 — Validate environment
# Run all pre-flight checks
/gaia validate
If any check fails, resolve it before continuing.
Phase 2 — Estimate cost and confirm
Ask the user for their configuration:
- Level (default: 1)
- Question limit (default: 53 for a quick run, 165 for the full L1 set)
- Models (default:
claude-sonnet-4-6) - Self-consistency voting (default: 1; use 3 for L2/L3)
/gaia cost --level=$LEVEL --limit=$LIMIT --models=$MODELS --voting=$VOTING
If projected cost > $5, show the estimate and ask: "This run will cost approximately $X. Proceed? (y/N)"
Phase 3 — Run the benchmark
/gaia run --level=$LEVEL --limit=$LIMIT --models=$MODELS --voting=$VOTING
While running, progress is reported every 5 questions:
[12/53] 22.7% (5 passed of 22 scored) — est. remaining: $0.18
Store the run summary in memory for history tracking:
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store \
--namespace gaia-runs \
--key "run-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" \
--value '{"level":$LEVEL,"model":"$MODEL","total":$TOTAL,"passed":$PASSED,"pass_rate":$RATE,"est_cost_usd":$COST}'
Phase 4 — Package for submission
/gaia submit --results=~/.cache/ruflo/gaia/results-latest.json
This produces:
submission-<date>-<sha>/
├── results.jsonl ← HAL-compatible, one JSON per line
├── trajectories.jsonl ← full agent traces
├── metadata.json ← harness info, model, tool catalogue
├── manifest.md.json ← Ed25519-signed witness
└── README.md ← human summary + leaderboard comparison
Phase 5 — Compare and report
/gaia leaderboard --level=$LEVEL
/gaia history
Interpret the gap between ruflo's score and the leaderboard top-10.
Identify the primary failure mode (tool gap, reasoning miss, extraction bug)
using the /gaia-debugging skill if needed.
Phase 6 — Persist learnings
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks post-task \
--task-id "gaia-submission-$(date +%Y%m%d)" \
--success true \
--train-neural true
Store any discovered patterns:
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store \
--namespace gaia-patterns \
--key "submission-notes-$(date +%Y%m%d)" \
--value "Level $LEVEL, $MODEL: $NOTES"
Extensibility note
This skill is intentionally structured to be benchmark-agnostic. The phase headers (validate → estimate → run → package → compare → learn) apply to SWE-bench, WebArena, and HumanEval with only phase 3-4 details changing.
