Iterate ML Experiment

Always re-emit the Pre-flight checklist with evidence before declaring the turn done.
First action — read state + emit read-set tracker
Open each sibling SKILL.md just-in-time when a step calls for
it (e.g. open evaluate-ml-pipeline before § 3's CV-strategy
step). Do not pre-read all at session start.
Sibling skills (just-in-time):
- organize-ml-workspace, data-science-python-stack,
python-env-manager, python-api, python-code-style,
explore-ml-data, build-ml-pipeline, evaluate-ml-pipeline,
test-ml-pipeline, smoke-test-ml-pipeline,
iterate-from-skore / iterate-from-user
Then before answering:
- Read
journal/JOURNAL.md. Missing/placeholder → bootstrap (§ 0). This is the canonical project digest (Status, Data understanding (EDA), History, Backlog). - Check
Workspace decisionsblock for pre-recorded gates (tabular, env_manager, package, skore_mode, cv_splitter) — a recorded decision skips itsAskUserQuestion. - Emit the Pre-flight checklist with each box filled.
- Use the Mode picker to find which section to read.
Mode picker — read this before navigating the body
You read one mode section per turn. Match the user's signal, then jump.
| Signal / workspace state | Mode | Section |
|---|---|---|
JOURNAL.md missing / placeholder / 0 History rows | Bootstrap | § 0 |
journal/ not scaffolded (no src/, no experiments/) | Bootstrap → handoff first | → organize-ml-workspace, then § 0 |
| "what's next?" / "let's iterate" / "propose next" — with ≥1 done row | Iterate (propose) | §§ 1–3 + Dispatch table |
| "the run finished" / "log the result" / "we got X = …" | Iterate (record) | § 4 |
| "where are we?" / "status?" / "what have we tried?" | Project overview | references/maintenance_modes.md § "Project overview" |
| "compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" | Compare (read-only) | references/maintenance_modes.md § "Compare past experiments" |
| "let's pivot the goal" / "actually we care about " | Goal pivot | references/maintenance_modes.md § "Goal pivots" |
| "abandon X" / "drop X" | Abandoned | references/maintenance_modes.md § "Abandoned experiments" |
| Re-do a prior experiment under different conditions | Re-run | references/maintenance_modes.md § Re-runs |
If two modes seem to match ("compare X and Y, then propose"), pick the read mode first, stop. Re-entering § 1 is a separate turn.
Stop conditions — read before anything else
-
No design note, no script. Never create or edit
experiments/NN_*.pyuntiljournal/NN_*.mdexists, is filled, and the user has explicitly approved it. -
JOURNAL.mdis read at session start, not improvised. Don't reconstruct history fromexperiments/filenames orgit log— those don't carry the why. -
Strategy is picked, not assumed. Name the sourcing strategy in every proposal (
skore/user/my-pick/B<N>). Don't silently default. Exception: bootstrap — baseline is forced by workspace defaults; no strategy dispatch. -
Approval is explicit. "approved" / "yes" / "go" / "looks good" from the user is the gate. Ambiguous → re-ask via
AskUserQuestion. -
Outcomes are recorded, not narrated. When the run finishes, the outcome lands in
JOURNAL.mdAND the Status block before the conversation moves on. -
Prior experiments stay reproducible. Every
donerow must remain runnable onmainwith the same result. When touchingsrc/<pkg>/, default behavior preserves prior experiments' shape (seebuild-ml-pipeline§ Reproducibility). Cheap check:tests/smoke/— any prior smoke test going red means default behavior is broken. -
Three skills, in order, before any code in
src/<pkg>/. After G-DESIGN:build-ml-pipeline→pipeline.py/features.py/data.py.evaluate-ml-pipeline→evaluate.py. Owns CV-strategy viaAskUserQuestion. Writingevaluate.pywithout invoking it is the most common shortcut.test-ml-pipeline→smoke-test-ml-pipeline→ smoke test.
Only then assemble
experiments/NN_*.py. -
Harness "no clarifying questions" hints do NOT waive gates. G-DESIGN, G-RUN, the §1 mode pick, the §2 sourcing menu, the §0 config gates are operating-contract gates.
-
Post-hoc audit — required before ending the turn. Walk every pre-flight row; surface unfilled Evidence cells explicitly.
Forbidden shortcuts
| Shortcut | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| User said "quick baseline" → skip G-DESIGN | G-DESIGN is non-negotiable; "quick" never waives it. The design note is the postmortem's frozen Method |
| Scaffold + implement in one turn before G-DESIGN | Inverts the contract. Code that lands before approval has no Motivation/Risks the user signed off on |
Skipped evaluate-ml-pipeline because KFold(5) "feels right" | Even empty split_kwargs is a justified pick the skill exists to surface. Bypass = user never got the choice |
| Bootstrap mode → skip ALL questions, not just the sourcing menu | Bootstrap forbids the sourcing menu only. G-PKG-NAME / G-ENV-MGR / G-TABULAR / G-SKORE-MODE / G-EDA / G-DESIGN / G-CV-SPLITTER / G-RUN still fire |
| Ambiguous "hmm interesting" / "I guess" read as approval | Approval is explicit. Ambiguity → re-ask, never silent yes |
Auto-detect run finished via reports/ mtime | § 4 is user-triggered (v1). The skill never auto-records |
| § 4 finishes recording → declare done, skip audit dispatch | § 4 audit dispatch is part of record-outcome, not optional. The audit digest carries the headline metrics for the JOURNAL row |
| Run experiment in same turn as G-RUN → declare done without § 4 | § 4 follows G-RUN in the same turn when the run completes successfully. Don't stop at "I ran it" — record the outcome |
| Pre-read every sibling SKILL.md file at session start | Read-set tracker is not a blocking gate. Open siblings just-in-time; emit pending list but proceed |
Pre-flight — emit before any design-note write

references/preflight_evidence.md.

§ 0 Bootstrap (first session only)
Workspace is in bootstrap mode when journal/JOURNAL.md is missing,
placeholder, or has 0 History rows.

description: >
Owns the iteration loop on top of an ML workspace: the
`journal/JOURNAL.md` index and the per-experiment
`journal/NN_short_name.md` design notes that must be drafted and
approved by the user **before** `experiments/NN_short_name.py` is
created. Drives the propose → iterate → approve → implement →
record loop; dispatches to `iterate-from-skore` /
`iterate-from-user` for sourcing.
TRIGGER — any of:
- A session opens in an ML workspace (whether or not `journal/`
exists yet — missing/placeholder → bootstrap mode).
- User says "what's next", "resume", "where were we", "let's
iterate", "propose next", "first baseline".
- About to create a new `experiments/NN_*.py` (the matching
`journal/NN_*.md` must exist and be approved first).
- User wants to record an outcome from a finished run.
- User asks to compare past experiments or review what's been
tried ("compare X and Y", "where are we?").
SKIP when: no `journal/` yet AND no workspace scaffold (route to
`organize-ml-workspace`); the work is mechanical inside
`pipeline.py` / `evaluate.py` / `data.py` with no journal-level
implication (owned by `build-ml-pipeline` /
`evaluate-ml-pipeline`); the user asks for a symbol lookup
(`python-api`); the user is diagnosing a single skore report
without a "what next" framing (`evaluate-ml-pipeline`).
HOW TO USE: read `journal/JOURNAL.md` first, classify the turn via
the **Mode picker** (table near the top), then read only the
matching section. Sibling skills open *just-in-time* when a step
requires them — do not pre-read all sibling skills at session start.

Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Agent access
This page exposes the same decision, trust, audit, use-case, and install signals through the Registry API, so agents can rank this skill without scraping the UI.
