AI Systems as Scientific Instruments for Understanding the Mechanisms of Intelligence
Agent
The claim agent of /auto. Runs the /auto-claim skill under two orthogonal axes — BEHAVIORSOURCE (given / given-validation / discovery) sets where the behavior comes from and whether it is validated; MECHANISM (given / discovery) sets who picks the mechanism method. discovery generates ranked, novelty-checked ideas…
Agent
The experiment agent of /auto. Wraps the /auto-experiment skill, which folds mechanism-family routing inline before implementing, code-reviewing, and deploying the experiment suite. Supports two-step invocation — first call returns candidate families for the orchestrator's mini-prompt, second call (with chosenfamily)…
Agent
The iteration agent of /auto. Runs the /auto-iteration-loop skill — an autonomous review loop that consumes /auto-verify's four-state output (PASS / FAIL / INCONCLUSIVE / ZEROELIGIBLEVARIANTS) plus the orthogonal deferred bucket and routes each claim to the right back-edge (① variant-only fix / ② baseline-script fix /…
Agent
The verify agent of /auto. Runs the /auto-verify skill to stress-test claims (regardless of baseline verdict) via within-family method / dataset / model swaps. Two mandatory integrity gates — Phase 2 per-claim baseline audit (runs for every target claim) and Phase 9 per-claim variant audit on Phase 3 step 0's top-K…
