SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn an idea into a complete, testable experiment suite with evidence-grade evaluation, including iterative ablation that can simplify and re-plan the method when certain factors prove marginal or harmful.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Non-linear experiment planning: generates a full suite (ablation, sensitivity, main, optional generalization, deep analysis) and supports up to two ablation-driven re-planning iterations.
  • Benchmark and metric selection grounded in your wiki: uses your idea page plus relevant papers, concepts/topics, and existing experiments to choose baselines, datasets, and evaluation criteria.
  • Instrumentation for “why it works”: plans logging of intermediate quantities (e.g., gradient norms, loss decomposition, attention/feature distributions) to support deep post-run analysis.

Quick Start

Use the /exp-design skill for the idea slug you want to validate after a pilot run.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design an experiment suite with iterative ablation for a research idea?

Experiment design with non-linear ablation generates a full test suite including ablation, sensitivity sweeps, and multi-seed main validation, then supports up to two re-planning iterations if certain factors prove marginal.

What is non-linear ablation in research experiment design?

Non-linear ablation in experiment design evaluates method components iteratively, allowing the suite to automatically simplify and re-plan the method when specific ablated factors prove marginal or harmful to overall performance.

How do I select benchmarks and metrics using a research wiki?

Benchmark and metric selection uses your idea page alongside relevant papers, concepts, and existing experiments within your research wiki to choose appropriate baselines, datasets, and evaluation criteria for validation.

How do I plan instrumentation for intermediate quantity analysis in experiments?

Plan instrumentation for intermediate quantity analysis by logging gradient norms, loss decomposition, and attention or feature distributions during experiment design to support deep post-run analysis of why a method works.

Can I use this experiment design workflow without existing wiki pages?

No, this experiment design workflow must read your idea page and contextual wiki pages to generate grounded experiment designs, write design pages, update graph edges, and rebuild derived context artifacts.
