SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It turns completed experiment results into an evidence-based verdict that updates the linked idea’s lifecycle status, failure reason, and the graph edges that connect experiments to ideas.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-model scientific judging: Uses an impartial Review LLM to evaluate whether results supported, partially supported, refuted, or were inconclusive for the idea’s hypothesis.
  • Lifecycle and evidence updates: Automatically updates wiki/ideas/{linked-idea}.md fields like status, failure_reason, and date_resolved, plus fills the experiment page’s ## Idea updates section.
  • Knowledge graph maintenance: Adds supports or invalidates edges in wiki/graph/edges.jsonl and rebuilds derived context artifacts (context_brief.md, open_questions.md, and log.md).

Quick Start

Run exp-eval on a completed experiment by providing its slug as /exp-eval <experiment-slug> --auto to automatically apply the wiki updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate experiment evaluation and update a knowledge graph with evidence verdicts?

Automating experiment evaluation involves using an LLM to judge completed results and output a verdict that updates the linked idea's status and the experiment-to-idea knowledge graph edges. It reads wiki pages to apply supported, partially supported, or inconclusive outcomes.

How does LLM judging work for hypothesis validation in a research pipeline?

LLM judging for hypothesis validation works by having an impartial Review LLM read experiment and sibling wiki pages to evaluate if results supported, partially supported, refuted, or were inconclusive for the idea’s hypothesis. It then writes status fields and failure reasons.

What is evidence synthesis for research lifecycle management and how does it update ideas?

Evidence synthesis for research lifecycle management converts completed experiment results into an evidence-based verdict that updates the linked idea's lifecycle status, failure reason, and date resolved. It automatically fills the idea updates section on the experiment page.

How do I add supports or invalidates edges to a knowledge graph after an experiment?

To add supports or invalidates edges to a knowledge graph, the evaluation process reads experiment results and writes the corresponding edges into the graph edges file. It then rebuilds derived context artifacts like context briefs and open questions.

Do I need existing wiki pages for experiments and ideas before running experiment evaluation?

Yes, you need existing wiki pages for the experiment, linked idea, sibling experiments, and review guidelines before running evaluation. The process requires reading these pages to accurately judge results and update the knowledge graph structure.

What are the limitations of using wiki automation for experiment evaluation?

Limitations of using wiki automation for experiment evaluation include its dependency on pre-existing, properly linked wiki pages for experiments and ideas. The automated LLM judging cannot evaluate outcomes if the prior research pipeline structure is incomplete.
