What it does

Deploy Experiment is an agent skill from GRIND-Lab-Core/night_owl_research_agent. Deploy and run experiments for ML/DL training (local, remote, or Modal GPU) AND spatial data science / GIScience experiments (local, data-driven). Reads from output/refine-logs/EXPERIMENTPLAN.md and output/refine-logs/FINALPROPOSAL.md, writes to output/experiment/. Use when user says "run experiment", "deploy experiment", "execute experiment plan", or needs to launch training / spatial analysis jobs.

Its SKILL.md is about 5k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Geospatial analysis. The repository describes itself as: Fully automatic AI research agent for Geoscientists, Remote Sensing researchers, and GIScientists. Features harness engineering, GeoBenchmark (OLS/GWR/MGWR), journal templates…

When your agent uses it

  • User says run experiment
  • Deploy experiment
  • Execute experiment plan
  • Needs to launch training / spatial analysis jobs

Example prompts

  • “run experiment”
  • “deploy experiment”
  • “execute experiment plan”
  • “/deploy-experiment”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write, Agent

Workflow steps

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

  1. Mandatory Local GPU Availability Check (pilot AND full experiments)
  2. 1: Classify the Experiment
  3. (Both Tracks): Verify & Record
  4. (Both Tracks): Write EXPERIMENT_RESULT.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f7a246. 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
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ssh
    • python
    • git
    • rsync
    • conda
    • scp
    • pip

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • wandb.ai

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • WANDB_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Deploy Experiment loads about 5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,957 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write, 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 1,957 words (~4,963 tokens).

“Execute the experiment described in output/refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md (with context from output/refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md) and write all results to output/experiment/.”

Can I use Deploy Experiment in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add GRIND-Lab-Core/night_owl_research_agent --skill deploy-experiment -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/deploy-experiment, .gemini/skills/deploy-experiment, .github/skills/deploy-experiment and .opencode/skills/deploy-experiment in your project.

What does Deploy Experiment need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Deploy Experiment needs the command-line tools its instructions call (ssh, python, git, rsync, conda and scp) and credentials named WANDB_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash(*), Read, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write, Agent.

Does Deploy Experiment access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: wandb.ai; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Deploy Experiment safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Deploy Experiment use?

No licence was found for Deploy Experiment or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Deploy Experiment use?

About 5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 20k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
