What it does

Archive Experiments is an agent skill from marin-community/marin. Archive explicitly named legacy experiment files by publishing a dated tag and canonical issue breadcrumbs.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open-source framework for the research and development of foundation models. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/archive-experiments”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Snapshot the experiments behind an archive tag
  2. Post the canonical archive comment on each issue
  3. Track progress

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be1f5f1. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • rg

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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

Archive Experiments loads about 878 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~878

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Skill: Archive Legacy Experiments

Overview

Retire old experiment scripts without losing their history: put the code behind a dated archive tag and leave a canonical comment on the originating GitHub issues so future readers can find the last snapshot.

Prerequisites

  • Local checkout of marin with push access to origin.
  • gh CLI installed and authenticated for marin-community/marin.
  • List of experiment issues and their corresponding filenames under experiments/.
  • The PR number for the cleanup you are referencing; if the directing human has not given one, ask them before posting anything.

Guidelines for Humans

1. Snapshot the experiments behind an archive tag
  1. Identify the commit that should house the archived experiments (usually main after the cleanup). Record it with git rev-parse HEAD.
  2. Pick a date-based tag name in the form archive/YYYYMMDD.
  3. Create and push the tag:
    bash
    TAG=archive/20251114
git tag "${TAG}" <commit-sha>
git push origin "${TAG}"
  4. If an older tag (e.g., exp_cleaning/YYYYMMDD) described the same snapshot, delete it locally and remotely so only the archive/ tag remains.
2. Post the canonical archive comment on each issue
  1. Confirm the cleanup PR number (PR_NUM); if nobody has provided one yet, ping the human operator for it before continuing.
  2. For every experiment issue, build the file URL: https://github.com/marin-community/marin/tree/${TAG}/experiments/<filename>.
  3. Use the standardized note below, swapping in the filename-specific URL and PR reference:
    This experiment has been archived to reduce clutter and preserve velocity (see PR #<PR_NUM>). It is last available in the `archive/YYYYMMDD` tag at <URL>. Please open an issue if you need help unarchiving it.
  4. Post the comment with gh issue comment:
    bash
    ISSUE=102
FILE=exp102_classifier_ablations.py
PR_NUM=1999
URL="https://github.com/marin-community/marin/tree/${TAG}/experiments/${FILE}"
gh issue comment "${ISSUE}" \
  --body "This experiment has been archived to reduce clutter and preserve velocity (see PR #${PR_NUM}). It is last available in the \`${TAG}\` tag at ${URL}. Please open an issue if you need help unarchiving it."
  5. Confirm the comment renders correctly (PR reference should auto-link and the URL should jump straight to the file in the archive tag).
Show full SKILL.md (137 more words)Show less
3. Track progress
  • Keep a checklist of issue numbers while you work to avoid double-posting or skipping an experiment.
  • When the batch is complete, list the affected issues in your agent handoff or PR description.

Rules for Agents

  • Do not delete experiment files; archival work only tags commits and leaves issue breadcrumbs.
  • Always reference the current archive/ tag name in both inline code and URLs.
  • If the archive tag changes after comments were posted, update the affected issues rather than stacking multiple archive notices.

Validation

  • git ls-remote --tags origin | rg "${TAG}$" to ensure the tag is published.
  • gh issue view <issue> --comments | rg "archived to reduce clutter" to confirm each issue carries the canonical message.
  • Spot-check a few URLs to verify they open the expected files inside the archive tag.
