Name repos mechanically from the idea, not via gpt-4o-mini - #151
Merged
Conversation
_generate_repo_name called gpt-4o-mini (OpenRouter/OpenAI) to condense the title and silently fell back to the raw idea_id when no OPENROUTER_KEY/OPENAI_API_KEY was set or the call failed, producing names like probabilistic_calibration_metr_20260730_075410_ac649b07. Derive the slug deterministically from idea.yaml, tried in order title -> hypothesis -> domain, then the sanitized idea_id as last resort. Apostrophes are stripped so possessives stay one word. Threads hypothesis through create_research_repo and its two primary callers (runner, submit); fetch_from_ideahub is left to PR ChicagoHAI#147. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
It works on my end using the idea submitted on IdeaHub.

Problem
_generate_repo_namecondensed the idea title into a slug via agpt-4o-minicall (OpenRouter/OpenAI). When noOPENROUTER_KEY/OPENAI_API_KEYwas set, or the call failed, it silently fell back to the raw idea id, producing names likeprobabilistic_calibration_metr_20260730_075410_ac649b07. This hit any run without an OpenAI-compatible key (for example claude-subscription runs), independent of the--provideragent.Change
Derive the slug deterministically from the idea.yaml content, tried in order title -> hypothesis -> domain, then the sanitized idea id as a last resort. Naming no longer depends on an external LLM or API key. Same
{slug}-{random}-{provider}shape; apostrophes are stripped so possessives stay one word (solver's->solvers).hypothesisis threaded throughcreate_research_repoand its two primary callers (runner,submit).fetch_from_ideahub.pyis left to PR #147 (which is editing it).Testing
Ran the actual function against real workspace titles plus stress cases (blank/stopword-only title, punctuation/symbols, non-ASCII, all-empty). Every output is a valid GitHub name with a deterministic slug, and the fallback ordering resolves correctly.
