SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Experimentation helps you replace uncertain design decisions with small, reproducible LLM/prompt/architecture runs that produce decision-ready evidence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reproducible experiment runs: Scaffolds an experiments/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/ folder with a harness and raw outputs for auditability.
  • Doc-backed decision locking: Forces a new ## 17.N sprint record appended to docs/refactor_main_v3.md so evidence is tied to the refactor timeline.
  • Self-improvement loop: Appends a concise “Lessons learned” entry to the skill so each run improves future experimentation quality.

Quick Start

Run the experimentation skill with a one-line driving question that names the exact refactor doc section being challenged and includes a measurable success criterion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run reproducible LLM experiments to validate prompt and architecture choices?

To run reproducible LLM experiments, you provide a driving question with a measurable success criterion. The skill scaffolds a dated experiment folder containing raw outputs and a harness, ensuring your prompt and architecture testing is fully auditable.

What is the best way to document LLM experiment evidence for repo refactoring decisions?

The best way to document experiment evidence is by appending a new sprint record to your refactor documentation. This locks the validation results directly into your project timeline, tying token budget claims and architecture decisions to dated experiment outputs.

How do I test a new model integration or NIM behavior before committing to a sprint?

You test a new model integration by running a small, reproducible experiment that validates the specific NIM behavior. The process generates raw outputs and appends a sprint record, giving you decision-ready evidence before making a sprint commitment.

Can I use this approach to evaluate prompt scoring heuristics and latency claims?

Yes, you can evaluate prompt scoring heuristics and latency claims by running targeted experiment runs. Each run generates a dated folder with raw outputs, turning ambiguous performance claims into reproducible evidence for your refactoring decisions.

Does the experimentation process improve future prompt evaluation quality?

Yes, the experimentation process improves future prompt evaluation quality through a self-improvement loop. It automatically appends concise lessons learned from each run back to the skill, enhancing subsequent architecture testing and experiment runs.
