Summary
Exact prompt
# Catch log checked against a made-up regulations table `input.json` names `regulations.json` and `catch_log.csv`. All rules, species codes and data are **fictional** (not real fishing regulations). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only); `python solve.py input.json answer.json`. Fresh files are used too. ## Data - `regulations.json`: `species` maps a code to `aliases`, `season` ["MM-DD", "MM-DD"] inclusive (if start > end the season wraps over New Year), `min_in`, `max_in` (null = no maximum), `bag` (legal kept fish per angler per day for that species); `aggregate_daily` = legal kept fish per angler per day, all species. - `catch_log.csv`: `date` (YYYY-MM-DD), `angler`, `species`, `length`, `unit` (`in` or `cm`, any case), `action` (`kept` or `released`, any case). Process rows in file order; row numbers start at 1 for the first data row. ## Rules (first match wins) 1. Species: trim, case-insensitive match to a code or alias; no match -> `unknown_species` (species null). 2. `released` -> status `released` (never a violation, never counted). 3. Kept fish: length in inches (cm / 2.54 rounded to 2 decimals). Then: not in season -> `out_of_season`; below min -> `undersize`; above max -> `oversize`; angler already has `bag` legal fish of that species that date -> `over_bag`; angler already has `aggregate_daily` legal fish that date -> `over_aggregate`; else `legal` (and it counts toward the limits). Boundaries are legal (equal to min or max, first/last season day). 4. Every status except `legal` and `released` is a violation for that angler. ## answer.json `{"rows": [{"row", "species", "status"}, ...], "violations_by_angler": {angler: n} (only anglers with >0, sorted by name), "legal_kept_by_species": {code: n} (only >0, sorted)}` ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit; all must pass): `species_and_release` (species codes and which rows are released), `row_statuses` (every row exact), `summaries`, `fresh_run_1`, `fresh_run_2`. 60-second limit per run.
Aliases with odd spacing and case, cm conversion near limits, a season that wraps New Year with boundary dates, slot maximum, and bag/aggregate limits that only count legal fish in log order. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com. Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Cost shown is a list-price API-equivalent estimate (run on a ChatGPT subscription, not billed).
Benchmark code for comparing AI models, not navigation or safety software.
Success criteria: 1. species_and_release 2. row_statuses 3. summaries 4. fresh_run_1 5. fresh_run_2
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch10 case k04-catch-log-regulations (offline fixture). Prepared with batch10/prepare.sh on the shared box; only TASK.md + starting files were copied to the agent machine, hidden key/tests stayed on the box. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim on stdin. Flags: --json -s workspace-write --skip-git-repo-check --ephemeral --ignore-user-config --ignore-rules -C <workdir>. Scored on the box with the scout's scorer: `python score.py WORKDIR KEYDIR`. Single run, no retries. User-level AGENTS.md (846 bytes, sha256 83ec4fe50da8) may have been in context; --ignore-user-config does not document excluding it. Serving model not confirmed: requested via -m; the event log does not echo the serving model id. Price source is secondary (pricing.json verification='secondary', https://www.actuia.com/en/news/ai-api-pricing-in-october-2026-050-to-50-for-output/), not an official OpenAI price page. Score: 5/5. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured tokens x pricing.json list price (ChatGPT plan, nothing billed); input_tokens include cached reads; output_tokens include reasoning tokens. Tool calls 4 (1 failed, recovered). Single run.
Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run
- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: GPT-6.1 Sol (openai/gpt-6.1-sol, effort default (no reasoning-effort override) · thinking on) via
Codex CLI 0.163.0 (codex exec --json), cloud. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. species_and_release 2. row_statuses 3. summaries 4. fresh_run_1 5. fresh_run_2
- Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.
