SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Starting an AutoRL task without grounded evidence leads to hallucinated claims, poor algorithm choices, and wasted effort on unsuitable repositories. This Skill turns an execution-ready task card into a verified evidence package covering relevant papers, benchmarks, and reusable codebases before any planning or coding begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Paper Retrieval and Verification: Searches arXiv, Semantic Scholar, Papers with Code, and local notes, verifying exact titles, venues, and URLs while marking unverified claims explicitly. - Codebase Candidate Scoring: Identifies reusable repositories and scores them on environment match, algorithm match, license, install risk, and reproducibility without cloning or installing anything. - Structured Evidence Report: Emits a canonical Markdown evidence report plus optional JSON/JSONL sidecars with coverage scoring, gaps, and handoff recommendations for the strategy decision stage. - Use Case: After clarifying an RL task on a custom Gymnasium environment, run this Skill to produce runs/<task-id>/evidence_report.md listing the top verified papers and safest baseline repositories to inspect. ## Quick Start Use rl-evidence-retrieval to turn my task card at runs/my-task/task_card.md into an evidence report with verified paper and codebase candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions about rl-evidence-retrieval

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I find relevant reinforcement learning papers for a specific environment?

Build targeted queries from the task card's environment name, algorithm family, and metric rather than searching generic RL terms. Search arXiv for preprints, verify titles and venues via Semantic Scholar or OpenAlex, and check Papers with Code for implementation links.

How to evaluate whether an RL GitHub repository is safe to reuse?

Inspect the repository's license, README, examples, last activity, and install surface through read-only metadata before reuse. Score it on environment match, algorithm support, and dependency risk, and mark unclear fields as unknown rather than assuming compatibility.

What input does this evidence retrieval skill require?

It requires an execution-ready task card at runs/<task-id>/task_card.md containing the environment, RL task, algorithm direction, success criteria, and runtime boundaries. If the card is missing or ambiguous, the skill stops and asks for clarification instead of searching broadly.

Can this skill clone repositories or run experiments during retrieval?

No. The skill is restricted to read-only search, metadata lookups, and README inspection. Cloning, dependency installation, dataset downloads, and training runs all require explicit user approval and happen in later stages.

What happens when search tools or network access are unavailable?

The skill produces a partial report with retrieval_status set to blocked_or_partial, naming the exact missing tool or approval. Lack of evidence is reported as a gap rather than filled with unverified or invented claims.
