Use when running iterative experiments and you need a disciplined way to log configs, seeds, environments, metrics, failures, and comparison summaries.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 6

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep experiment work organized so results can be compared, explained, and reused in papers or reports.

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    run configs, seeds, code version, and environment details

    line 20
  3. Distinctive:

    never mix incomparable runs into one conclusion table

    line 41
  4. Distinctive:

    always record code version or commit reference if available

    line 42
  5. Distinctive:

    treat failed runs as evidence, not noise to be discarded silently

    line 43
  6. Distinctive:

    keep final summaries tied to raw run records

    line 44

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Purpose

Keep experiment work organized so results can be compared, explained, and reused in papers or reports.

When To Use

  • running multiple model, prompt, or system variants
  • comparing baselines and ablations across many runs
  • preparing result summaries for a paper or internal update
  • diagnosing why numbers changed across commits or environments

Inputs

  • experiment goal and benchmark definition
  • run configs, seeds, code version, and environment details
  • metric outputs, logs, and notes about failures or anomalies

Outputs

  • canonical experiment ledger
  • comparison table across runs
  • best-run summary with supporting evidence
  • anomaly log and suspected causes
  • next-step recommendation list

Workflow

  1. Define a stable schema for run IDs, configs, seeds, and artifacts.
  2. Log every run with enough context to reproduce it later.
  3. Separate successful, failed, and invalid runs explicitly.
  4. Compare results only across compatible settings.
  5. Summarize what changed, what improved, and what still needs testing.

Constraints

  • never mix incomparable runs into one conclusion table
  • always record code version or commit reference if available
  • treat failed runs as evidence, not noise to be discarded silently
  • keep final summaries tied to raw run records

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
