What problem does it solve?
It prevents ARIS from repeatedly rereading long research artifacts by re-centering execution on compact, current state files while keeping task execution synchronized across rounds.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fast-Start Read Order: Prioritizes execution snapshot, TODO queue, remote GPU job manifest, supervisor state, and referenced progress files to answer the next action quickly.
- On-Demand Long Reads: Loads large documents only when the next action requires clarification on scope, method/claim logic, literature/novelty changes, or paper-facing edits.
- State Contract & Round Hygiene: Defines clear “single source of truth” files and update requirements for snapshot, TODO, status logs, and remote job provenance after substantive rounds.
- Job Running Guardrails: Enforces evidence-based “running” detection, prevents duplicate launches into shared output directories, and marks stale-progress jobs as BLOCKED/VERIFY.
- Use Case: When an ARIS executor is continuing research work or handing off between autonomous rounds, it uses this skill to reconcile status/TODO, update provenance, and resume with minimal I/O.
Quick Start
Use the neat-freak skill to resume the next ARIS autonomous round by reading the execution snapshot and TODO queue first, then executing the highest-priority concrete task and updating the snapshot, TODO, status, and remote job manifest.
