How I applied to YC Startup School 2026 — one prompt, 3 minutes: agent mined 60 days of sessions via ax, picked the proudest by git evidence, published the share

Claude Code Session

Using ax, find the coding-agent session I should be most proud of from my work on ax itself, and publish it as a shareable link.

Do it properly - don't pick by turn count alone:

  • Use ax to list my sessions in this repo, then cross-check against what actually shipped (git commits / merged work) so "productive" means real, verifiable output.
  • Among the productive ones, prefer a session that SHOWCASES WELL when shared - the trace should be visibly rich, not a flat back-and-forth. Favor a session that has: · subagents being dispatched (parallel builds, scouts, side-by-side work) · correction loops - where I caught something wrong and the agent verified, found the real cause, and fixed it (the recovery arc) · live dogfooding (browser/tool verification against real data) · a measurable shipped result (a perf win, a feature, numbers)
  • Show me your evidence for the pick: what it shipped, the numbers, and which of the above signals it has (subagents dispatched, corrections recovered).
  • Then publish it as a PUBLIC ax share and give me the URL as your final line, with one sentence on why this session is worth being proud of.

Keep it tight - this whole session is itself the demo.

Plan: list sessions via ax, cross-check git/PRs, inspect candidates for subagent/correction/dogfood signals, then publish share.

SUBCOMMANDS
  ingest      Ingest skills, local agent transcripts, git history, and insight artifacts. Use --dry-run [--json] to estimate how long a full backfill will take (and exit). Use --stages=<a,b,c> for a custom subset, or --derive-only to run every stage tagged `derive` (see ADR-0009; canonical list lives in src/ingest/stage/registry.ts). Use --reset to wipe the skill graph first and rebuild it clean.
  sessions    Windowed session queries: here (pwd-repo), around (date), near (sha), show (detail), compare (side-by-side), metrics (graph-derived)
  improve     Experiment loop: rank proposals (recommend), accept (emit task brief or scaffold + dispatch subagent), lint grounded agent files, track verdicts at +3/+10/+30 sessions after accept.
  retro       Session retros: structured reflections (tried · worked · failed · next) that drive the experiment loop
  recall      Cross-session text search (BM25). --sources=turn,commit,skill chooses record types (default turn). --scope=here filters to the current repo (auto-detected); --scope=all overrides. --project=? / --skill=? opens an interactive picker. See the ax:extract-workflow skill for narrating workflows behind shipped artifacts. Output ends with a `next:` footer of copy-paste follow-up commands (drill into a session, resume it in its harness); --json carries the same links in a `next` field.
  skills      Skill-graph queries: search, stats, usage, pairs, recovery, classify, tag, lint, weighted, by-role, roles
  signals     Signal catalog: list (browse) + show <id> (render a cross-session signal, e.g. fragility_cascade)
  roles       List all roles with skill counts (includes roles with 0 skills). Role labels are semantic categories (framing, execution, verification...) tagged on skills via plays_role edges. --json
  hooks       Hook config CRUD (config/add/remove/edit/disable/enable) + evidence (summary/invocations/session/backtest)
  serve       Serve the live web dashboard locally
  mcp         Run an MCP server (stdio) exposing ax's read-only queries
  tui         Open the interactive dashboard
  share       Publish a redacted session share Gist
  install     One-shot setup: daemon, watcher, symlink (then runs `ax setup`)
  setup       Install the agent skills and verify; hands ingest to your agent via the onboarding brief. --agents=claude-code,codex  --yes  --agent-prompt (print just the paste-to-agent block)

📤 Tool result
DESCRIPTION
  Graph-derived per-session metrics: durab (commits not later reverted / produced), land (first commit→PR merge; squash merges legitimately land at ~0 → "<1m"), lines added/removed, 1st-edit (session start→first Edit/Write), reads (Read/Grep/Glob before first edit), deleg% (subagent-produced commits / all). Sorted by produced commits, then most fragile first. --here scopes to the pwd repo, --since N days, --full-ids prints untruncated session ids (feed into `ax sessions show` / `compare`), --json for machine output. Aggregates: --group-by=model|repo|source|week folds sessions into per-group durability/commit/correction/cost rollups (week = ISO-week trend, oldest→newest); --skill=<name> compares sessions that invoked the skill vs not (skill_durability_efficacy). --source=<provider> and --min-cost=<usd> filter the aggregate scan; --limit caps groups. See `ax signals` for cross-session relation signals (e.g. fragility cascades).

Done. Pick: session 5f4a02e9 (Jun 9-10, claude-opus-4-8) — the NavLink protocol session.

Evidence:

  • Shipped, verified against git: 3 merged PRs — #199 feat: NavLink next[] follow-ups — self-documenting query surface (HATEOAS for LLMs) (+1348/−41), #204 retro-findings fixes, #216 round-3 fixes. All merged inside session window.
  • Numbers: 66 commits produced, 0 reverted — 100% durability (best of any big session in repo), 363 turns, 85M tokens, ~$62.
  • Subagents (8): Explore scouts on MCP surface + CLI internals, codebase-analyzer, Plan agent for NavLink design, "Drive ax to find lost session" agent, blind dogfood agent for v0.22.0, 2× retro-reviewer.
  • Correction loops: full recovery arc ×2 — feature shipped → blind dogfood found real breakage (stderr footer, broken --json envelope, header id) → retro-reviewer distilled findings → fix PR #204 → second dogfood round → fix PR #216.
  • Live dogfooding: dogfood agents drove the actual ax CLI against real graph data; 15 ax invocations + 12 gh pr calls in trace.

Runner-up was the overnight goal session (66 subagents, 98% durability) — richer fan-out but no dogfooding, no correction arcs, and one reverted commit.

https://ax.necmttn.com/s/Necmttn/64852b77f8a2bc48e579ae6e5f49e3e1 — one session that designed a protocol, shipped it, caught its own bugs by dogfooding itself blind, and landed three merged PRs with zero reverted commits.
