SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you execute a short, diagnostic pilot experiment from a Pilot Spec YAML without committing changes to wiki pages or performing a final pass/fail judgment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pilot-spec driven execution: Reads experiments/pilot/{slug}.yaml, generates the required pilot code, and runs a reduced experiment for quick failure detection.
  • Local or remote deployment: Supports --env local (direct GPU run) and --env remote (SSH deployment via tools/remote.py and config/server.yaml).
  • Manual-inspection safety gate: Requires user confirmation and manual review of generated code/config before launch; returns raw results for later evaluation by /exp-pilot-eval.
  • Outputs ready for evaluation: Saves pilot code, per-seed JSON results, and logs to experiments/pilot/code/{slug}/.

Quick Start

Run the pilot for idea slug "my-idea" on your local GPU by telling the AI: exp-pilot-run my-idea --env local.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a pilot experiment from a YAML spec on a remote GPU?

To run a pilot experiment from a YAML spec on a remote GPU, execute the command with the `--env remote` flag. This deploys the generated pilot code via SSH using `tools/remote.py` and `config/server.yaml`.

What is a pilot experiment in machine learning research automation?

A pilot experiment is a short, diagnostic training or evaluation run designed to detect obvious implementation failures. It gathers raw metrics from a reduced run without making wiki modifications or final pass/fail judgments.

How do I execute a short diagnostic model evaluation run locally?

You can execute a short diagnostic model evaluation run locally by providing your idea slug and using the `--env local` flag. The system reads the Pilot Spec YAML, generates code under `experiments/pilot/code/`, and runs it on your direct local GPU.

Does pilot experiment execution require manual code review before launch?

Yes, pilot experiment execution requires manual code review before launch. A manual-inspection safety gate enforces explicit user confirmation of the generated code and configuration before the diagnostic run starts.

What outputs do I get after running experiment orchestration for a pilot run?

After running experiment orchestration, you get outputs ready for evaluation including generated pilot code, per-seed JSON results, and execution logs. These are saved directly to the `experiments/pilot/code/{slug}/` directory.
