 Skivolve runs reproducible A/B evaluations of agent skills and instruction bundles through isolated harnesses, objective case verifiers, and calibrated blinded comparison.
 
-Version `0.5.0` is an alpha release for expert evaluation work on Linux. The public repository contains train and validation cases, not a private holdout, and ships no live comparator certification. It does not claim that one harness or bundle is superior. The production `software-engineering-v1` comparator profile is calibrated for software changes; the bundled plain-language profile has test authority and author-authored labels, not independent production calibration.
