Synaptic-Tuner: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/research-reporting/SKILL.md

research-reporting is a skill for Claude Code from ProfSynapse/Synaptic-Tuner. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,234 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning machine-learning experiment runs and analysis files into structured research notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start and update notes, summarize completed runs, compare results, extract hypotheses from evaluation or loss data, and suggest evidence-based actions for the next run.
Why use it?
It keeps experiment findings, evidence, failures, and next steps in one consistent record as a run progresses.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is ProfSynapse/Synaptic-Tuner's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Synaptic-Tuner itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Synaptic-Tuner configures →

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

research-reporting 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 2mo 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.

Research Reporting

Generate compact research notes that are easy to read and easy to parse later.

Use This Skill When

  • The user wants a research note, experiment summary, post-run analysis, or structured markdown output.
  • The source of truth is an experiment bundle under .tracking/experiments/<id>/.
  • The output should include stable frontmatter and explicit evidence for claims.
  • The note should be created early and updated through the lifecycle of one experiment.

Default Workflow

  1. Resolve the experiment id and open .tracking/experiments/<id>/experiment.json.
  2. If spec_path is present, read the experiment spec so the note captures actual config numbers instead of only outcome artifacts.
  3. Read primary analysis artifacts in this order:
    • analysis/experiment_summary.json
    • analysis/next_run_candidates.json
    • analysis/hypothesis_context.json
    • analysis/run_matrix.csv
  4. Read failure slices only if you need representative examples:
    • analysis/failure_slices/eval_failures.jsonl
    • analysis/failure_slices/high_loss_examples.jsonl
  5. Read stage lineage files when you need provenance, timing, commit, hardware, or cost details.
  6. Write the note from assets/research_note_template.md.

Load reference/artifact-map.md when you need to know which artifact supports which section.

Lifecycle Modes

Use the same note template for all three modes:

  1. Launch note:
    • Create the note as soon as the experiment is launched or selected.
    • Fill identity, config, and known runtime fields.
    • Leave future metrics and recommendation fields empty.
  2. Stage update:
    • Re-open the same note after training, evaluation, loss, or analysis completes.
    • Update only the fields now supported by artifacts.
    • Preserve prior fields unless newer canonical artifacts supersede them.
  3. Final note:
    • After analysis/recommendation, ensure the note contains the final status, observed outcomes, hypotheses, and next-run recommendation.

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.
