experiment-workflow
Run thesis experiments from ideation through publication. Use when brainstorming research questions, writing specs, executing experiments, or polishing for thesis.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill experiment-workflow-joernstoehler-msc-viterbo --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Experiment Workflow This skill covers the lifecycle of a research experiment from initial idea to thesis publication. ## Workflow stages 1. **Ideation** — Capture and deconfuse the research question 2. **Specification** — Plan execution with clear success criteria 3. **Execution** — Implement, run, analyze (OODA loop) 4. **Polishing** — Prepare artifacts, code, and writeup for thesis Agents typically work on one stage (~80% of sessions). You can proceed through multiple stages in one session, but results tend to be subpar—these are long-horizon tasks, and agents excel at medium-horizon work. ## Where things live | Artifact | Location | |----------|----------| | Tracking table | `packages/latex_viterbo/experiments.md` | | Experiment code | `packages/python_viterbo/src/viterbo/experiments/<label>/` | | Specification | `<experiment folder>/SPEC.md` | | Rust-only specs | `packages/rust_viterbo/docs/<label>.md` (rare) | | Polished writeups | `packages/latex_viterbo/chapters/appendix-detailed-experiments.tex` | | Plots/figures | `packages/latex_viterbo/assets/<label>/` | | Data artifacts | `packages/python_viterbo/data/<label>/` | **Polished writeups** go in a single growing file (`app

What does the experiment-workflow skill do?
Run thesis experiments from ideation through publication. Use when brainstorming research questions, writing specs, executing experiments, or polishing for thesis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill experiment-workflow-joernstoehler-msc-viterbo --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
