What it does
Search ML Literature is an agent skill from probabl-ai/skills. Search scientific and technical sources for a query and, after the user picks and confirms one direction, write one idea file and its Ideas row. Comes after review, beside the backlog. Do not call research-ml-practice. Do not write History, Backlog, or a design note. Do not pick a winner.
Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).
It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: Tabular Data Science Skills for guardrailing AI Agents. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.
When your agent uses it
- Data & Analytics work in your project
Example prompts
- “/search-ml-literature”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run python -m skore_skills status. Read journal/JOURNAL.md
- Rewrite the query as a problem class before any search. Drop
- Search scientific and technical sources. Fetch the primary

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 77bb26c. 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:
python
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
Search ML Literature loads about 880 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 463 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.md
The full file from probabl-ai/skills at commit 77bb26c, republished under its BSD-3-Clause licence (© probabl-ai). 463 words, ~880 tokens.

Search ML Literature
Comes after review, beside the backlog. Source is a query, not an
artifact the user already named. Show a few directions, then write
one journal/ideas/<slug>.md and one Ideas row for the direction
they confirm. manage-ml-backlog triages that file later.
Human-facing prose
Details: setup-workspace references/human_facing_prose.md.
Directions and the pick question are scientific options for this
project — not skill ids or the wrapper CLI.
Procedure
- Run
python -m skore_skills status. Readjournal/JOURNAL.mdStatus, the last History headline, and the EDA summary whendata_analysis/data_analysis.mdexists. If the query is too vague to search, ask once. - Rewrite the query as a problem class before any search. Drop
dataset names, loader names (
sklearn.datasets,fetch_*), and Kaggle slugs. JOURNAL and EDA are context for that rewrite, not search strings. - Search scientific and technical sources. Fetch the primary pages. When sources disagree, say so. Do not fill a gap from memory after a search has run. If search cannot run, say so and stop. Do not invent papers, URLs, or claims.
- Write
scratch/research/direction-<slug>.mdwhen that write can run. Do not paste it into chat. - Show two to four directions. Each one: a one-line idea, why it might transfer here, what it would change, and the URL plus the claim. Do not rank a winner.
- AskUserQuestion: pick one, narrow the query, or stop. Narrow restarts at step 2. Stop writes no idea file.
- If this turn is not already an explicit yes, restate the picked direction in one short paragraph, then one single-choice AskUserQuestion: Yes / No. Do not also ask for a typed yes. Until Yes, that paragraph and the question are the whole message. "Maybe" is not Yes. No or Stop writes nothing.
- On Yes — the tool answer, or an explicit yes already given
on this or a later turn — write
journal/ideas/<slug>.mdand upsert its Ideas row. Do not create a design note. Do not edit History, Backlog, or Status. Writejournal/ideas/<slug>.md:
Show full SKILL.md (137 more words)Show less
# <slug>
- Experiment: <last History stem, or n/a>
- Source: literature: <url>
- Triage: open
- Question:
- Why now:
- What changes:
- Open gaps: Open gaps hold transfer risks, disagreements, and domain
claims this dataset does not establish. A library named only
by a source stays in Open gaps until the user asks to add it.
Then upsert one ## Ideas row: Question as plain text, Status
open, Experiment <last History stem, or n/a>, Source
literature: <url>. If that table is missing, insert it
between History and Backlog. Do not rewrite the other
sections. Return the path to the caller.
Stop conditions
- Do not load
research-ml-practice. - Do not write History, Backlog, Status, or a design note.
The Ideas table is the only
JOURNAL.mdedit. - Do not append a
B<N>row. - Do not search a dataset proper name, a loader, or a Kaggle slug.
- Do not add a package or run
env add/pixi add. - Do not treat one blog as ground truth.
