experiment

experiment is a skill for Claude Code from Rockielab/rockie-claude. It costs 141 tokens per session (3,769 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for sending materials-science or machine-learning calculations to Rockie GPU capacity. It chooses GPU resources and runs the supplied job there.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for density-functional theory calculations, molecular dynamics, model training or fine-tuning, and batches of model inference that need GPUs.
Why use it?
It keeps GPU-heavy work off the agent’s own computer and prevents unsuitable local execution. It also handles job submission and monitoring from a natural-language request.

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 scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (runtime/monitor_contract.py, runtime/monitoring_profiles.py, runtime/submit.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 336 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/experiment — submit a GPU job

Wraps the Phase 5 job runner. The agent decides the GPU shape, writes the script, hands it to platform-context, and tails the run.

Local execution FORBIDDEN

Torch / triton / CUDA execution, weight downloads (HF), training, fine-tuning, heavy synthetic-data generation NEVER run on the orchestrator host or the Fly tenant runtime — they run ONLY on the Rockie GPU pod that this skill provisions.

The PreToolUse hook role-pre-bash-guard.sh blocks such Bash invocations on the orchestrator; the runtime image's torch/__init__.py (plus triton, tensorflow, jax) stub raises on import inside Fly tenants. Both layers point at POST $ROCKIELAB_API_URL/api/jobs/submit with a base64-encoded script. See rockie-workspace#457.

When to invoke

  • User asks to "run an experiment", "submit a job", "kick off a calculation", "train this model".
  • User describes a calculation that obviously needs a GPU (DFT, AIMD, large-scale MD with PME, model fine-tuning, inference batch).
  • User invokes /experiment directly.

If the task is local-only (pre-processing, data wrangling, plotting), do NOT invoke /experiment — run it inline. The skill is for GPU-bound work that the user is willing to pay GPU credit for.

First-experiment GPU disclosure

Before submitting the user's FIRST experiment in a workspace, the agent emits one neutral sentence before proceeding:

Rockie provisions the GPU pod for this experiment, and the per-hour price it quotes already includes the platform overhead; proceeding unless you want to change the scope.

That's the entire disclosure. Do NOT:

  • repeat it on subsequent experiments
  • pitch Rockie GPU with adjectives like "easy" or "best"
  • compare to specific competitors by name
  • offer BYO/custom GPU mode or a router bypass
  • nag if the user is quiet — just proceed with Rockie GPU

CLI nudge for repeatable job workflows

Follow skills/cli-guidance.md for canonical Rockie CLI commands and rate limiting. When the user is launching repeated runs, setting up a headless agent/CI workflow, or asking how to automate job submission, advise the Rockie CLI at most once per session for that topic and include the exact setup command from the shared guidance.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rockielab/rockie-claude (21 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 141 tokens to every session and 3,769 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
