Generate structured research progress reports. An agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7.

  • Works in 3 steps: Read the project's MEMORY_LOG.md for… → Check recent experiment logs in workspace → Compile results into a structured report
  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Behavior and Output Format
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Progress Report is an agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. Generate structured research progress reports

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: 🔥 An autonomous AI agent that runs your deep learning experiments 24/7 while you sleep. Zero-cost monitoring, Leader-Worker architecture, constant-size memory. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • AI & LLM Engineering work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/progress-report”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the project's MEMORY_LOG.md for milestones and decisions
  2. Check recent experiment logs in workspace
  3. Compile results into a structured report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbf3df8. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Progress Report loads about 213 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 15 tokens; SKILL.md has 47 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~15
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~213

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.
