What it does

AI Research Reproduction is an agent skill from lllllllama/RigorPilot-Skills. Rigor Reproduce compatible skill slug for README-first deep learning repository reproduction. Use when the user wants an end-to-end, minimal-trustworthy flow that reads the repository first, selects the smallest documented inference or evaluation target, coordinates intake, setup, trusted execution, optional trusted training, optional repository analysis, and optional paper-gap resolution, enforces conservative patch rules, records evidence assumptions deviations and human decision points, and writes the…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 65 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `_bundled/MANIFEST.json`, `_bundled/shared/scripts/agent_provider.py` and `_bundled/shared/scripts/command_utils.py`). Compatibility notes: Requires Python 3.11+ and Git for bundled orchestration; target repositories may require additional reviewed dependencies, network access, or accelerators.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Deep learning and Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: README-first research reproduction skills with bounded execution, auditable evidence, and byte-preserving README annotations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants an end-to-end
  • Minimal-trustworthy flow that reads the repository first
  • Selects the smallest documented inference
  • Evaluation target

Example prompts

  • “/ai-research-reproduction”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Python 3.11+ and Git for bundled orchestration; target repositories may require additional reviewed dependencies, network access, or accelerators.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the target README and only the target test/config/source needed to understand the documented command.
  2. Run scripts/orchestrate_repro.py --repo --plan-only --agent-output with any explicit user timeout bound (--timeout or --train-timeout)…
  3. Run the selected candidate, or another reviewed candidate, with --run-selected --command-id --plan-fingerprint --agent-output plus…
  4. Run --verify-output --agent-output; inspect detailed evidence files only when verification fails or the result is partial/blocked.
  5. Deliver the bounded result and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3ccdf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires Python 3.11+ and Git for bundled orchestration; target repositories may require additional reviewed dependencies, network access, or accelerators.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

AI Research Reproduction loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~18k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 199 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~199
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~18k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Purpose

Guide README-first deep learning reproduction toward the smallest trustworthy run with auditable evidence. Preserve documented meaning; record assumptions, deviations and blockers instead of changing semantics to manufacture success. Load specialized references only for a concrete uncertainty.

Fast Path

For a routine bounded run, keep the control path short:

  1. Read the target README and only the target test/config/source needed to understand the documented command.
  2. Run scripts/orchestrate_repro.py --repo <repo> --plan-only --agent-output with any explicit user timeout bound (--timeout or --train-timeout) already supplied; review command_candidates, the selected cmd-XX, side-effect contract, selection fingerprint, and returned reviewed_run_args. With no --output-dir, later evidence goes to <repo>/repro_outputs regardless of caller cwd.
  3. Run the selected candidate, or another reviewed candidate, with --run-selected --command-id <cmd-XX> --plan-fingerprint <fingerprint> --agent-output plus requested timeout/metric/source-adjacent options. Preserve an explicit user command-timeout bound instead of silently making it stricter on a routine trusted run. --timeout limits the target command; do not wrap the whole orchestrator in an equal or shorter external timeout, because it still needs time to terminate children and write terminal evidence. A changed command set fails closed; setup/download commands are never target candidates.
  4. Run --verify-output --agent-output; inspect detailed evidence files only when verification fails or the result is partial/blocked.
  5. Deliver the bounded result and stop.

For a host with short tool-call deadlines, rerun planning with --include-agent-handoff and follow references/agent-job.md; otherwise keep the direct path above. Job completion is not task acceptance, and uncertain state is never a reason for automatic replay.

Do not inspect orchestrate_repro.py, annotate_readme.py, _bundled/, writers, or runtime internals on a normal success path. Inspect implementation only for a concrete blocker, unexpected side effect, bundle-integrity failure, or unresolved safety question. Use scripts/doctor.py for first-use environment/install diagnostics. Executed commands keep full lifecycle/log evidence under repro_outputs/_runtime/<run_id>/.

Fit

Use this skill for repository-grounded, multi-phase trusted reproduction where the goal is a small reproducible target. Do not use it for paper summaries, generic setup, isolated scanning, standalone commands, open-ended research design, or explicitly authorized candidate exploration.

Trusted Target Selection

Choose the smallest target that can honestly demonstrate repository-grounded reproduction:

  1. documented inference
  2. documented evaluation
  3. documented training startup or partial verification
  4. full training only after explicit user confirmation

Treat README guidance as the primary reproduction intent. Use repository files to clarify the README, not to silently replace it. When the README and paper conflict, record the conflict and use paper-context-resolver only for the narrow reproduction-critical gap.

Show full SKILL.md (300 more words)Show less

Workflow

  1. Treat README guidance as primary; extract and select the minimum trustworthy target.
  2. Use setup/assets only for target-specific prerequisites and analyze-project only when structural clarification is needed.
  3. Use minimal-run-and-audit for inference/evaluation/smoke and run-train for training startup, kickoff, or resume; direct execution is the default.
  4. Pause before fuller training or changes to dataset, split, checkpoint, preprocessing, metric, loss, model semantics, or interpretation.
  5. Award result-match only against explicit expected metrics and tolerance; process success alone is not reproduction success.
  6. Write the evidence bundle, return the requested bounded result, and stop; optional stages are not automatic follow-up work.

Patch Boundary

Prefer no repository edits. If edits are needed, keep them conservative and auditable:

  • Try command-line arguments, environment variables, path fixes, dependency version fixes, or dependency-file fixes before code changes.
  • Reproduction fixes are allowed when needed, but they must not be hidden. State what changed, why it was necessary, whether it changes scientific meaning, and whether it affects comparability with the paper, README, or baseline.
  • Avoid changing model architecture, core inference semantics, training logic, loss functions, or experiment meaning.
  • If repository files must change, create a branch named repro/YYYY-MM-DD-short-task, keep verified patch commits sparse, and record README-fidelity impact in PATCHES.md.

See references/patch-policy.md.

Outputs

Always target repro_outputs/:

text
SUMMARY.md
COMMANDS.md
LOG.md
SCIENTIFIC_CHANGELOG.md
COMPARABILITY_REPORT.md
status.json
ANNOTATED_README.md   # original README + colored per-section agent-action annotations
PATCHES.md   # only if patches were applied

Use the templates under assets/ and references/output-spec.md. Keep summaries short, commands copyable, machine state stable, and scientific/comparability changes explicit. ANNOTATED_README.md must preserve the source README byte-for-byte outside inserted evidence blocks and pass its strip/check round trip. Use --source-adjacent-readme only for an owned RIGORPILOT_README.md; never replace an unrelated file. Distinguish verified facts from inference.

Reference Loading

  • Workflow judgment: references/agent-operating-principles.md.
  • Human-readable output: references/language-policy.md.
  • Scientific/comparability judgment: references/research-rigor-principles.md and, when experiment details matter, references/deep-learning-experiment-principles.md.
  • Protocol-sensitive changes: references/research-safety-principles.md and references/patch-policy.md.
  • Personal rigor and lessons are advisory only; keep specialized detail in references/scripts rather than expanding this entrypoint.
