DeepScientist Full Pipeline

End-to-end autonomous research workflow for: **$ARGUMENTS**

Overview

This skill chains all DeepScientist research stages into a single pipeline:

/ds-scout → /ds-baseline → /ds-idea → /ds-experiment → /ds-analysis-campaign → /ds-optimize → /ds-write → /ds-review → /ds-finalize

Pipeline

Stage 1: Scout

Frame the research problem, survey literature, identify datasets/metrics, discover existing baselines.

/ds-scout "$ARGUMENTS"

**Output:** Problem framing, literature map, baseline shortlist, evaluation contract.

**🚦 Gate 1:** Present the research landscape to the user. Wait for confirmation before proceeding.

Stage 2: Baseline

Reproduce or import the most relevant baseline from Stage 1's shortlist.

/ds-baseline

**Output:** Working baseline with verified metrics, comparability contract.

Stage 3: Idea

Generate concrete research hypotheses based on the literature gaps and baseline analysis.

/ds-idea

**Output:** Ranked candidate ideas with selection rationale.

**🚦 Gate 2:** Present top ideas to the user. Wait for confirmation of which idea to pursue.

Stage 4: Experiment

Implement and run the main experiment for the selected idea.

/ds-experiment

**Output:** Experiment code, results, evidence artifacts.

Stage 5: Analysis Campaign

Run follow-up experiments: ablations, robustness checks, error analysis.

/ds-analysis-campaign

**Output:** Ablation results, robustness data, writing-facing evidence slices.

Stage 6: Optimize (Optional)

If results are promising but not yet strong enough, run algorithm-first iterative improvement.

/ds-optimize

Skip this stage if main experiment results already meet the success criteria.

Stage 7: Write

Draft the paper from accepted evidence.

/ds-write

**Output:** LaTeX paper draft with figures and references.

Stage 8: Review

Run an independent skeptical audit of the draft.

/ds-review

**Output:** Review report with severity-graded feedback.

If review identifies critical issues → fix and re-review (max 2 rounds).

Stage 9: Finalize

Consolidate final claims, limitations, and recommendations.

/ds-finalize

**Output:** Final paper, summary state, resume packet.

Key Rules

• **Gate checkpoints after Scout and Idea stages.** Do not proceed without user confirmation on research direction and idea selection.
• **Stages 4-9 can run autonomously** once the user confirms the idea.
• **Evidence-first writing.** Every claim in the paper must trace to an experiment artifact.
• **Fail gracefully.** If any stage fails, report clearly and suggest alternatives rather than forcing forward.
• **Git as memory.** Commit after each stage so progress is durable.

Typical Timeline
