What it does

Turn a refined research proposal or method idea into a detailed, claim-driven experiment roadmap. Use after `research-refine`, or when the user asks for a detailed experiment plan, ablation matrix, evaluation protocol, run order, compute budget, or paper-ready validation that supports the core problem, novelty, simplicity, and any LLM / VLM / Diffusion / RL-based contribution.

Experiment Plan: Claim-Driven, Paper-Oriented Validation

Refine and concretize: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

Use this skill after the method is stable enough that the next question becomes: what exact experiments should we run, in what order, to defend the paper? If the user wants the full chain in one request, prefer /research-refine-pipeline.

The goal is not to generate a giant benchmark wishlist. The goal is to turn a proposal into a claim -> evidence -> run order roadmap that supports four things:

  1. the method actually solves the anchored problem
  2. the dominant contribution is real and focused
  3. the method is elegant enough that extra complexity is unnecessary
  4. any frontier-model-era component is genuinely useful, not decorative

Constants

  • OUTPUT_DIR = refine-logs/, Default destination for experiment planning artifacts.
  • MAX_PRIMARY_CLAIMS = 2, Prefer one dominant claim plus one supporting claim.
  • MAX_CORE_BLOCKS = 5, Keep the must-run experimental story compact.
  • MAX_BASELINE_FAMILIES = 3, Prefer a few strong baselines over many weak ones.
  • DEFAULT_SEEDS = 3, Use 3 seeds when stochastic variance matters and budget allows.

Workflow

Phase 0: Load the Proposal Context

Read the most relevant existing files first if they exist:

  • refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md
  • refine-logs/REVIEW_SUMMARY.md
  • refine-logs/REFINEMENT_REPORT.md

Extract:

  • Problem Anchor
  • Dominant contribution
  • Optional supporting contribution
  • Critical reviewer concerns
  • Data / compute / timeline constraints
  • Which frontier primitive is central, if any

If these files do not exist, derive the same information from the user's prompt.

Phase 1: Freeze the Paper Claims

Before proposing experiments, write down the claims that must be defended.
