One-Command Install as a Claude Code Plugin

AAE can now be installed from inside Claude Code:

/plugin install aae --marketplace CHSZLab/AgenticAlgorithmEngineering

On Claude Code versions before 2.1.275, add the marketplace first with /plugin marketplace add CHSZLab/AgenticAlgorithmEngineering, then run /plugin install aae@aae. A plain clone into ~/.claude/skills/aae works as well. Other agents can simply be told to follow AAE.md.

When a session starts, the agent now shows the Algorithm Engineering cycle with AAE at its center.

Numbered Patches for Accepted Changes

Every accepted change is exported as a numbered patch in patches/ (0001-<slug>.patch, 0002-...), numbered in order of acceptance. Applying them to the baseline commit with git am patches/*.patch reproduces the best version found in the session.

PDF Experiment Report

Each AAE session now produces a PDF report as a side artifact, rebuilt after every experiment so it is always current when the loop is interrupted:

• Title page with summary (baseline vs. best, improvement factor, kept/discarded/crashed counts) and contents
• Trajectory chart of the metric over all experiments, with the best-so-far line and patch labels on kept changes
• Table of accepted patches with step and total improvement
• One page per tested hypothesis (kept, discarded, and crashed alike): hypothesis, intuition, prediction, measurements against the baseline and the previous best, verdict, reflection, and the code diff

The diff of every experiment is saved before benchmarking, so discarded changes stay documented after the reset. The template lives in templates/report/ (LaTeX plus a generator that uses only the Python standard library).

Changes:

• AAE.md: patch and report steps added to setup and to the experiment loop; skill frontmatter; cycle banner at session start
• templates/report/: report template and generator
• .claude-plugin/: marketplace and plugin manifests
• README: installation section
