What it does

Nanoresearch Experiment is an agent skill from OpenRaiser/NanoResearch. Generate a Python code skeleton from an experiment blueprint

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: 🦞+🔬 NanoResearch: The Autonomous AI Research Assistant. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/nanoresearch-experiment”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse the experiment blueprint for datasets, baselines, metrics, and ablation groups
  2. Generate the project directory structure (data loaders, models, training, evaluation, configs)
  3. Produce data loading and preprocessing code for each specified dataset
  4. Implement model architecture stubs for the proposed method and each baseline
  5. Generate training loop with logging, checkpointing, and early stopping
  6. Implement the evaluation harness computing all specified metrics
  7. Create configuration files for each ablation group
  8. Add a main entry point that accepts a config and runs the full train-evaluate pipeline

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 584fd06. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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.

Context cost

Nanoresearch Experiment loads about 423 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~423

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.

0.1.0

Experiment Skill

Purpose

Take the experiment blueprint and produce a runnable Python code skeleton that implements the proposed method, baselines, training loops, evaluation harness, and ablation configurations.

Tools Required

None. This skill operates entirely through LLM code generation based on the experiment blueprint.

Input

  • experiment_blueprint: Path to papers/experiment_blueprint.json produced by the planning skill

Process

  1. Parse the experiment blueprint for datasets, baselines, metrics, and ablation groups
  2. Generate the project directory structure (data loaders, models, training, evaluation, configs)
  3. Produce data loading and preprocessing code for each specified dataset
  4. Implement model architecture stubs for the proposed method and each baseline
  5. Generate training loop with logging, checkpointing, and early stopping
  6. Implement the evaluation harness computing all specified metrics
  7. Create configuration files for each ablation group
  8. Add a main entry point that accepts a config and runs the full train-evaluate pipeline

Output

Produces experiments/ directory containing:

  • data/: Data loading and preprocessing modules
  • models/: Model architecture implementations (proposed method and baselines)
  • training/: Training loop and optimization utilities
  • evaluation/: Metric computation and result aggregation
  • configs/: YAML configuration files for each experiment and ablation variant
  • run.py: Main entry point for launching experiments
  • requirements.txt: Python dependencies
