SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted effort by evaluating noisy pilot experiment results against predefined success criteria and then updating the corresponding research idea page with an actionable verdict.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pilot verdict evaluation: Reads pilot metrics and compares them to the pilot spec’s success criteria to classify outcomes as pass, fail, or inconclusive.
  • Idea wiki updates: Updates wiki/ideas/{slug}.md fields including pilot_result, failure_reason (with mandatory [pilot] prefix on failure), and status when appropriate.
  • Persistent reporting & logging: Writes a durable verdict report to experiments/pilot/{slug}/report.md and appends an audit entry to wiki/log.md, while printing PILOT_VERDICT_REPORT to the terminal.

Quick Start

Run exp-pilot-eval for the idea whose pilot just finished using the slug you want to evaluate, and include --auto if you want it to proceed without pausing for confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions about exp-pilot-eval

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate pilot experiment results against predefined success criteria?

Pilot experiment results are evaluated by reading pilot JSON results, pilot logs, and a pilot spec YAML file to compare metrics against baselines, generating a pass, fail, or inconclusive verdict.

How do I update my research idea wiki page after a pilot run finishes?

Update the idea wiki page by writing the pilot_result, appending a mandatory [pilot] prefix to the failure_reason on failure, and modifying the status field to reflect the evaluated outcome.

What is the best way to generate a persistent report for experiment verdicts and log audits?

Generate a persistent experiment verdict report by writing to experiments/pilot/{slug}/report.md and appending an audit entry to wiki/log.md, while also printing the PILOT_VERDICT_REPORT to the terminal.

Can I automate pilot evaluation to proceed without pausing for confirmation?

Yes, you can automate pilot evaluation by including the --auto flag when running the evaluation, allowing the workflow to proceed without pausing for manual confirmation.

Why does the idea lifecycle enforce forward-only rules during pilot evaluation?

Forward-only lifecycle rules are enforced during pilot evaluation to prevent reverting research idea statuses, ensuring that once a pilot verdict is reached, the idea progresses sequentially without backward state transitions.

What do I need to run an automated pilot evaluation for a specific research idea?

You need the specific idea slug, the pilot spec YAML file defining success criteria, the pilot JSON results, and pilot logs to execute the evaluation and determine the experiment verdict.
