ARIS is a collection of Markdown-based skills that define a workflow for autonomous machine-learning research, including idea discovery, experiment automation, and review loops. Researchers and AI coding agents use it across tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw without depending on a single framework. The catalogue entries are ARIS workflow skills and agents.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 558 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.08633 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.03453 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01727 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00863 |
Grade A, and why
idea-creator 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 613 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Idea Creator
Before each reviewer slot, follow Selectable Reviewers: resolve invocation →
.aris/reviewer.json→ Claude Code default (Codex MCP) withreviewer_route.pythrough the canonical helper resolver, preserving this slot's tier, fresh contexts, source/image inputs and deterministic gates. Codex examples/pins below apply only tobackend=codex; other routes use their own first-call/reply contract. Save the route and actual returned identity; unavailable selections areREVIEW_UNAVAILABLE. Classify acceptance from actual families/completion/scope. Forward invocation reviewer/model/effort overrides to reviewer-bearing children. Generation workers are unchanged.
Generate publishable research ideas for: $ARGUMENTS
Overview
Given a broad research direction from the user, systematically generate, validate, and rank concrete research ideas. Standalone, Phase 1's landscape survey is inline (WebSearch — it does not invoke /research-lit); Phases 4-5 invoke /novelty-check, /run-experiment, and /monitor-experiment for validation and pilots. For the full sub-skill pipeline (/research-lit → idea generation → /novelty-check → /research-review), run /idea-discovery (Workflow 1), which orchestrates this skill.
Constants
Reviewer overrides apply to Phase 4 and reviewer-bearing children. Phase 2 brainstorming and native lens workers keep their existing generation model; do not pass a selected MCP reviewer model into a native generation call.
- PILOT_MAX_HOURS = 2 — Skip any pilot estimated to take > 2 hours per GPU. Flag as "needs manual pilot".
- PILOT_TIMEOUT_HOURS = 3 — Hard timeout: kill pilots exceeding 3 hours. Collect partial results if available.
- MAX_PILOT_IDEAS = 3 — Pilot at most 3 ideas in parallel. Additional ideas are validated on paper only.
- MAX_TOTAL_GPU_HOURS = 8 — Total GPU budget for all pilots combined.
- REVIEWER_MODEL =
gpt-6-astra— Default forbackend=codex; generation keeps its existing model. Review models come from the selected route. For manual review, require a recognized actual reviewer model different from the actual executor family; never infer the executor family from the Claude Code host. - REVIEWER_BACKEND =
codex— Default: Codex MCP (xhigh). Override with— reviewer: oracle-profor Oracle MCP, or— reviewer: manualfor Manual Review MCP. If manual-review MCP is unavailable, stop and print the install command; do not fall back to Codex. Seeshared-references/reviewer-routing.md. - OUTPUT_DIR =
idea-stage/— All idea-stage outputs go here. Create the directory if it doesn't exist.
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.

idea-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep (18,241 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 8,633 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
