experiment-execution

experiment-execution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EvoClaw/amplify. It costs 48 tokens per session (8,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for carrying out experiments after the project plan and readiness checks are approved. It includes a short exploratory stage before full execution and allows additional literature searches when new questions arise.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for implementation, baseline reproduction, experiments, and iteration in Type M and Type D research projects after the required planning gates have passed.
Why use it?
It helps test assumptions early and revise the approach before committing to the full experiment. It also provides a process for investigating unexpected results or unfamiliar methods during execution.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

experiment-execution scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Experiment Execution (Phase 4)

Overview

This skill orchestrates all implementation and experimentation. It operates in TWO stages:

  • Phase 4a (Exploratory): Quick, focused exploration to validate assumptions and discover insights BEFORE committing to full-scale execution. This stage may reveal that the research question or method design needs refinement.
  • Phase 4b (Full Execution): Complete, rigorous execution of the (possibly refined) plan.

This two-stage model reflects how real research works: you don't know everything before you start, and early exploration often reshapes the direction.

On-Demand Literature Search (Active Throughout Phase 4)

Literature retrieval is NOT limited to Phase 1. During experiment execution, when you encounter unexpected results, need to understand a technique, or want to compare with a method not in the original literature review — search immediately. Use web search, arXiv, Google Scholar. Add new papers to docs/02_literature/paper-list.md with tag [Found during Phase 4].

If search fails or returns insufficient results:

  1. Try alternative search terms (synonyms, broader/narrower scope, different field terminology)
  2. If still insufficient → note what was searched and what's missing in docs/02_literature/paper-list.md
  3. Ask the user: "I need papers on [topic] but couldn't find them via [methods tried]. Can you point me to relevant work?"
  4. Do NOT block on literature — proceed with available information and mark the gap as [literature pending]

Global Constraints

Inject ALL of these into every subagent dispatch during Phase 4:

  1. VALUE_ANCHOR: "This project's value proposition is: [read value_proposition from docs/01_intake/research-anchor.yaml]. All work serves this."
  2. METRIC_LOCK: "Primary metrics are [read primary_metrics from docs/03_plan/evaluation-protocol.yaml]. IMMUTABLE without user permission."
  3. VENUE_ALIGNMENT: "Target venue: [read target_venue.primary from research-anchor.yaml]. Is current experiment scale adequate?"
  4. ANTI_CHERRY_PICK: "All seeds. All results. All failures recorded."
  5. PREMATURE_EXPERIMENT_GUARD: "Baselines must be reproduced before running own method at full scale."

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

experiment-execution is a skill published in the GitHub repository EvoClaw/amplify (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 8,413 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
