What it does

Dse Loop is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Autonomous design space exploration loop for computer architecture and EDA. Runs a program, analyzes results, tunes parameters, and iterates until objective is met or timeout. Use when user says "DSE", "design space exploration", "sweep parameters", "optimize", "find best config", or wants iterative parameter tuning.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • Design space exploration
  • Sweep parameters
  • Find best config
  • Wants iterative parameter tuning

Example prompts

  • “design space exploration”
  • “sweep parameters”
  • “optimize”
  • “/dse-loop”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Agent

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Task & Setup
  2. Initial Exploration
  3. Directed Search
  4. Refinement (if time allows)
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(*)
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dse Loop loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,262 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningTells the agent its actions are pre-authorized / not to stop for confirmationSKILL.md:254
    - Work AUTONOMOUSLY — do not ask the user for permission at each iteration
  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Agent

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,262 words (~3,208 tokens).

“Autonomously explore a design space: run → analyze → pick next parameters → repeat, until the objective is met or timeout is reached. Designed for computer architecture and EDA problems.”
