How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

description: Rigor Setup skill for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to prepare a conservative conda-first environment, checkpoint and dataset path assumptions, cache location hints, and setup notes before any run on a README-documented repository. Do not use for repo scanning, full orchestration, paper interpretation, final run reporting, or generic environment setup that is not tied to a specific reproduction target.
env-and-assets-bootstrap
Use this as the Rigor Setup skill. The installed slug remains `env-and-assets-bootstrap` for compatibility.
Use the shared operating principles in `../../references/agent-operating-principles.md`; this skill should keep setup planning conservative while leaving environment-specific judgment to the model.
When to apply
- After repo intake identifies a credible reproduction target.
- When environment creation or asset path preparation is needed before running commands.
- When the repo depends on checkpoints, datasets, or cache directories.
- When the user explicitly wants setup help before any run attempt.
When not to apply
- When the repository already ships a ready-to-run environment that does not need translation.
- When the task is only to scan and plan.
- When the task is only to report results from commands that already ran.
- When the request is a generic conda or package-management question outside repo reproduction.
Clear boundaries
- This skill prepares environment and asset assumptions.
- It does not own target selection.
- It does not own final reporting.
- It does not perform paper lookup except by forwarding gaps to the optional paper resolver.
Input expectations
- target repo path
- selected reproduction goal
- relevant README setup steps
- any known OS or package constraints
Output expectations
- conservative environment setup notes
- candidate conda commands
- asset path plan
- checkpoint and dataset source hints
- unresolved dependency or asset risks
Notes
Use `references/env-policy.md`, `references/assets-policy.md`, `scripts/bootstrap_env.py`, `scripts/plan_setup.py`, and `scripts/prepare_assets.py`. Use `scripts/bootstrap_env.sh` only as a POSIX wrapper around the Python bootstrapper when a shell entrypoint is more convenient.

Research-first Agent Skills for Deep Learning Experiments. Main idea: RigorPilot keeps AI-assisted deep learning research grounded in comparability, reproducible evidence, and auditable changes while an agent reproduces, improves, or explores a research
