Example autohelix.yaml configuration for the sorting task

AutoHelix is a lightweight harness that lets you point an agent at a goal and leave it looping unattended. It provides the isolation, validation, scope, and budget control to make that safe, and it's general enough for any measurable goal, from optimizing code to training models.

Looping an agent can be far more effective than a single prompt, because later iterations fix and build on what came before, and because it gives you a knob for controlling how much effort (time or cost) to put toward the g
