research-codebase

Skill10 starsChanged 56 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub

Set up and maintain a research-experiment harness so experiments run fast and every paper number traces to one command. Use when starting a new project, running a sweep, aggregating runs into a paper table, or cleaning up a codebase that has become hard to navigate. Trigger on "how should I structure my code", "set up my project", "organize my experiments", "starting a new paper", "run all these configurations", "collect my results into a table", "my code is getting messy", "which run produced this number", or "I inherited this codebase". Built for researchers who are strong in the mathematics and weak in software: it fixes a pipeline contract up front so adding an experiment is one line in a list, never an edit to shared code. Not for designing the training loop itself (pytorch-training-recipe / jax-training-recipe), reproducing one paper's method (paper-to-code), choosing which experiment to run or diagnosing overfitting (experiment-design), or auditing a released artifact (reproducibility-audit).

  • shawn-dumasSkill

    validate-plan

    Validate an orchestration plan after pre-flight certification. Runs adversarial review, deep review (verify prompt data against codebase), and PoC gate for risky approaches. Auto-invoked by orchestrate-* skills at Step 8.

  • corticalstackSkill

    iterate-plan

    Revise an existing implementation plan in flow/plans/ based on feedback, researching when needed. Explicit-only; run only when invoked via /iterate-plan or explicitly asked.

  • JetBrainsSkill

    create-plan

    Research the codebase and create an implementation plan with architecture notes, design document, and track decomposition. Use when starting a new feature or large change.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

11 rules. 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 8

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

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

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 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.

Does it work?

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

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.
