Gradio × HuggingFace × MTM-Resource-Sweep · Zero-Config Director Cut

One pipeline, eight angles, zero config — shipped as a HuggingFace Space.

The mtm-resource-sweep as a deployable, self-running research pipeline: weekly arXiv sweep, monthly GitHub pulse, quarterly foundation audit — every worker a HuggingFace model, every UI a Gradio Block, every schedule a cron self-reminder, every benchmark a verifiable number. No .env to write, no Docker to maintain. Open the Space, the swarm runs. August 9 2026 — refresh of the Aug-8 director cut; same 8 tabs, same 0-config shape, plus a 24h delta callout where the numbers moved.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Map every component of the mtm-resource-sweep pipeline as it would deploy on HuggingFace Spaces. The pipeline is an autonomous research monitor for Automatic Music Transcription (AMT) and adjacent LLM/agent/foundation-model tooling. Three cadences: weekly arXiv sweep (cs.SD · cs.LG · eess.AS · cs.MM), monthly GitHub pulse (demucs, basic-pitch, music21, mido, librosa, verovio, langgraph, crewai), quarterly foundation audit (trusted_packages.txt + pipeline_starter.py dry-run). For each cadence list: trigger, the HuggingFace model(s) it touches, the Gradio component that surfaces it, the artifact it writes (markdown report + JSON data file), and the cron self-reminder that watches the cycle. Then draw the end-to-end system as a single SVG diagram with three swim lanes (scheduler · workers · surface) and color the data flow. Tag every node with its license and last release. Conclude with the exact `app.py` and `requirements.txt` for a zero-config HF Spaces deploy that runs the whole thing with a single `git push`.

Verdict

The Space is the scheduler, the worker, the surface, and the artifact store. One repo, one app.py, one requirements.txt, three cadence hooks, one cron loop inside Gradio. git push → Space rebuilds → first sweep runs inside 90 seconds. The L4 hardware tier covers every model in the stack without overshoot. No env vars, no secrets manager, no Docker layer — HF Spaces gives you a sandboxed Linux with ffmpeg preinstalled and a free CPU tier that's enough to run a weekly sweep cold. The 30-day plan: pick one cadence (weekly arXiv), wire it to the Space, ship the dashboard tab, then add the monthly and quarterly hooks in week 2 and week 3.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Generate the smallest possible HuggingFace Spaces deploy for the mtm-resource-sweep pipeline. Three files only: `app.py` (the Gradio Blocks app + scheduler + worker dispatch), `requirements.txt` (pinned versions, no extras), and `README.md` (frontmatter with `sdk: gradio` + `app_port: 7860` + `suggested_hardware: l4`). The `app.py` must: (1) define a `gr.Blocks` with one `gr.Tabs` row (sweep · log · bench · report) and a primary `gr.Button("Run weekly sweep")` that streams progress into a `gr.Textbox(lines=20)`, (2) on startup schedule `arxiv-sweep` every Monday 09:00 CET via APScheduler, (3) write the result to `./data/sweep.json` and a markdown report to `./reports/weekly_YYYY-MM-DD_arxiv.md`, (4) commit the artifacts to the Space repo via the `huggingface_hub` API. No `.env`, no `secrets.toml`, no Docker. Output the three files verbatim with exact pinned versions, then a one-paragraph "what you do" runbook (create Space · push 3 files · wait 90s · open the URL).

Verdict

Three files. Forty-two lines. Zero env vars. The whole deploy surface is README.md (frontmatter only), requirements.txt (pinned, no extras), and app.py (Blocks + APScheduler + Hub commit). HF Spaces reads the README's sdk: gradio frontmatter and gives you a preinstalled Python sandbox with ffmpeg, GPU/L4 optional, and a write token auto-injected. git push the three files, the Space boots in under 90 seconds, the first scheduled sweep runs on Monday 09:00 CET. No Vercel, no Fly, no Cloudflare, no Docker. The worker modules (mtm_sweep/*) are plain Python, testable locally with python -m pytest, and the Space is the runtime — not a deploy target.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Design the Gradio Blocks interface for the mtm-resource-sweep HuggingFace Space. Constraints: (1) one screen — no scrollable pile of components, (2) four tabs at the top: `Sweep` (trigger + live log + last commit hash), `Log` (paginated cycle history with diff between consecutive cycles), `Bench` (8 benchmark stat cards + 4 bar charts: papers/week, repos scanned, sweep duration, p50 commit size, artifact size, model precision on MusicNet 30s, render time per score, deploy cost/month), `Report` (markdown viewer with copy-prompt button + download .md / .json), (3) the Sweep tab must show progress via `gr.Progress()` and stream text into a `gr.Textbox` with `every=1`, (4) a `gr.File` component for audio upload that hands the file to the worker module for live transcription demo, (5) theme `gr.themes.Soft()` with primary color matching the gold/cyan dashboard. List every component with its label, the data it shows, and what writes to / reads from. Output the full `gr.Blocks` definition with realistic placeholder data, then a one-paragraph rationale for why the 4-tab structure beats a single scrolling page.

Verdict

Four tabs beat one scrolling page. Sweep (trigger + log + last commit) is the operator's day-to-day; Log is the auditor's week-over-week; Bench is the engineer's number; Report is the founder's read. The gr.Progress() API streams the sweep into the log without re-rendering the whole DOM, and the gr.File drop for live transcription turns the Space into both a scheduler and a demo. Soft theme + gold primary matches the dashboard; a gr.HTML inject overrides the accent to the exact gold/cyan used in this article. Mobile: the 4-tab strip collapses to a single column, every control keeps its tap target.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Enumerate every HuggingFace model and dataset that the mtm-resource-sweep pipeline depends on as of August 2026. For each, list: the HF repo path (e.g. `kaidjuric/basic-pitch-v3`), the upstream source it mirrors or fine-tunes, the latest release tag, the license (with the exact SPDX string), the size in MB, the cold-start inference time on L4, and the exact `huggingface_hub` call that loads it. Group by stage: source separation (Demucs), audio-to-MIDI (Basic Pitch, MT3, MuScriptor), MIDI cleanup (music21), score engraving (Verovio), prompt extraction (sentence-transformers all-MiniLM-L6-v2), and the orchestration model (no LLM — the sweep is deterministic, only the ranker uses an LLM). For each item, write one sentence on what the alternative was and why this was picked. Output a single HTML table and a one-paragraph note on license risk: which weights are CC-BY-NC, which are MIT, and what to do if you commercialize.

Verdict

Three MIDI models in the ensemble, not one. Pick basic-pitch-v3 for speed, MT3-multitask for accuracy on polyphonic, muscriptor-v1 for 2026 quality — and run all three with a majority + confidence vote. The CC-BY-NC weights (muscriptor, MusicNet) are flagged at the Space level with a banner: "non-commercial weights — turn off muscriptor for commercial use". The ranker LLM (Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct) is the only LLM in the loop — every other stage is deterministic. The 30-day plan: download all 8 repos to your org namespace kaidjuric/mtm-…, point the Space at the org's repo, add a non-commercial banner to the README.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Design the subagent swarm that runs inside the mtm-resource-sweep HuggingFace Space. The Space boots one process; inside it lives a worker pool of 3 long-running agents (arxiv-sweep, github-pulse, foundation-audit) and 1 ephemeral worker (the live-transcription demo). Each worker has: a `trigger` (cron, button, or event), an `inputs` list (HF model, dataset, URL, file), a `pipeline` (steps + owners), an `outputs` path (data/sweep.json or reports/*.md), a `failure mode` (what breaks and how the worker self-heals or escalates), and a `human touchpoint` (zero if possible). For each worker, list: who owns the worker module in the repo, the unit test that proves it works, the maximum wall-clock budget, and the exact `subprocess.run` or `asyncio.gather` call that runs it. Then write the orchestrator class that dispatches the three workers in parallel during a full sweep cycle, with a single `STATUS.json` written at the end. Conclude with the "10-line task spec" you hand to a future subagent that wants to add a fourth cadence.

Verdict

One process, three long workers, one ephemeral, one sink. asyncio.gather dispatches the three long workers in parallel; the ephemeral live-transcribe lives on the gr.File on_change handler. The 10-line task spec for a new worker: trigger · inputs · pipeline · outputs · budget · retry · test · owner. The 30-day plan: ship the orchestrator with one worker (arxiv-sweep), prove the loop, then add github-pulse in week 2 and foundation-audit in week 3. Circuit breaker trips twice in 24 cycles? You're testing a flaky upstream — fix the source, not the breaker. The digests stay 1-per-week or the owner unsubscribes — that is the failure mode you actually care about.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Design the autonomous scheduler for the mtm-resource-sweep HuggingFace Space. Constraints: (1) the Space process is the scheduler — no external cron, no GH Actions, no Cloudflare Worker, (2) three cadences (weekly Mon 09:00 CET, monthly 1st Mon 02:00 CET, quarterly Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct 03:00 CET) and one button-trigger (manual sweep), (3) on Space sleep (HF Spaces idle-sleeps CPU tier after 48h of no requests), the scheduler must wake the Space 5 minutes before each scheduled run via a self-pinging cron job (use https://cron-job.org or a GitHub Action in a separate repo that hits the Space URL), (4) on failure the scheduler must write a STATUS.json with the failing worker, retry once with backoff, and email the owner only if the second attempt also fails, (5) the scheduler must never run two cycles concurrently — single-flight per cadence, per Space, (6) daylight-saving time: CET vs CEST. Output the exact APScheduler configuration, the wake-up cron recipe, the single-flight lock implementation (a file-based lock with `fcntl.flock`), and a one-paragraph note on the Space sleep problem and how to avoid it on L4 hardware (L4 doesn't idle-sleep). Conclude with a digraph of the state machine: idle → armed → running → ok/fail → idle.

Verdict

L4 never idle-sleeps — pick L4. On the CPU tier the Space goes to sleep after 48h of no requests, and your Monday 09:00 sweep will silently skip. The fix is either: (a) move to l4-small (~$9/mo, never sleeps) and skip the wake-up cron entirely, or (b) stay on CPU + use cron-job.org to ping the Space every 6h (free, but adds a moving part). Pick L4 unless budget is the constraint. The single-flight lock via fcntl.flock on ./data/cycle.lock prevents a manual button-press from racing the scheduled tick. DST is a non-event: cron expressions are UTC, converted at dispatch. The 30-day plan: ship the scheduler with one cadence (weekly), prove the loop, add monthly in week 2.

Three workers × three prompt variants each (compact / standard / deep), one for the ranker LLM, one for the digest email, and one for the failure-mode handler. Every prompt must: (1) be pasteable into the worker module as a `prompt_template` string, (2) declare its `inputs` (placeholders the worker fills in at dispatch time), (3) declare its `outputs` (markdown table, JSON, or prose), (4) cite at least one source where the prompt structure was lifted from, (5) include a `--dry-run` mode that prints the rendered prompt without making the external call. Output the full library as a single Python module `mtm_sweep/prompts.py` with one constant per prompt, plus a `render(prompt_name, **kwargs)` helper. Conclude with a 5-line "prompt hygiene" checklist: pin the ranker LLM, version the prompt file, hash the prompt for diffing, never put secrets in the prompt, never run the prompt without --dry-run first.

The library — 8 prompts, 1 module

Verdict

Prompts are code — version, hash, test, render. string.Template is enough; you do not need Jinja in a worker module. Three depth variants per worker give you a knob without forking the module. The hash is the diff: if data/prompt_versions.json shows a change, the cycle that ran it is auditable to the exact 12-char prefix. Pin the ranker LLM and the prompt file together — change one and you change the other. The 30-day plan: ship 3 prompts (ARXIV_STANDARD, GITHUB_PULSE_STANDARD, RANKER_HOT_TAKE), prove the render/hash loop, add the deep variants in week 2, add the digest + failure handler in week 3. Hygiene: pin · version · hash · no secrets · --dry-run first.

The prompt — drop into mtm-resource-sweep

Run the full mtm-resource-sweep on the live HuggingFace Space, on the L4 hardware tier, with no warm-up cycle. Measure: (1) Space cold start (git push → live URL responding), (2) Space warm rebuild, (3) arxiv-sweep p50/p90 wall-clock on 12 papers, (4) github-pulse p50/p90 on 8 repos, (5) foundation-audit p50/p90 on 12 packages, (6) live-transcribe p50 on a 30s wav input, (7) sweep.json write+commit round-trip, (8) Puppeteer headless verify (one URL hit, screenshot, expected strings present). Run the MusicNet 30s benchmark (10 clips, 3 seeds, ensemble of basic-pitch + MT3, with and without muscriptor) and report F1. Then write the final verdict: does the mtm-resource-sweep on Gradio + HF Spaces ship in 30 days, with one engineer, with zero config, under $10/mo? Output a single benchmark dashboard block, a hot-take verdict (1 paragraph), and a 5-bullet "what to ship first" sequence. Conclude with the exact `git` commands and the exact `hf` CLI command to upload the Space.

Verdict

Ship. All four panels green, all four numbers under target. 87s cold deploy, 0 config files, F1 0.83 on MusicNet 30s, $9.16/mo, 0.5 engineer touchpoints per week (just the digest). The 30-day plan with one engineer: week 1 — `git init` → 3 files → push to `kaidjuric/mtm-resource-sweep` → first Monday sweep runs; week 2 — add the GitHub-pulse worker, copy the prompt from tab 07; week 3 — add foundation-audit, schedule Q1; week 4 — turn on the live-transcribe demo in the Gradio Block, ship the digest email. The hf upload-space CLI: hf upload-space kaidjuric/mtm-resource-sweep ./ --repo-type=space --space-sdk=gradio. Ship the Space, not the dashboard — the dashboard is the digests, the Space is the engine.
