idea-discovery-robot

idea-discovery-robot is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 104 tokens per session (3,390 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A robotics-focused workflow for turning a broad robotics or embodied-AI direction into ideas grounded in papers, benchmarks, and experiments. Embodied AI means artificial intelligence that acts through a physical or simulated robot.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps survey robotics research, generate and check ideas, and plan simulation-first pilots for tasks such as grasping, navigation, locomotion, and manipulation.
Why use it?
It keeps research ideas tied to real robot tasks, available simulators, observations, actions, safety limits, and evaluation measures. This reduces the risk of proposing an interesting idea that cannot be tested realistically.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - **[Output Versioning Protocol](../shared-references/output-versioning.md)** — write timestamped file first, then copy to fixed name.

Good fit It helps survey robotics research, generate and check ideas, and plan simulation-first pilots for tasks such as grasping, navigation, locomotion, and manipulation.

About the project

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.

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

idea-discovery-robot 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.

Robotics Idea Discovery Pipeline

Orchestrate a robotics-specific idea discovery workflow for: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

This skill chains four sub-skills into a single automated pipeline:

/research-lit → /idea-creator (robotics framing) → /novelty-check → /research-review
  (survey)              (filter + pilot plan)         (verify novel)    (critical feedback)

But every phase must be grounded in robotics-specific constraints:

  • Embodiment: arm, mobile manipulator, drone, humanoid, quadruped, autonomous car, etc.
  • Task family: grasping, insertion, locomotion, navigation, manipulation, rearrangement, multi-step planning
  • Observation + action interface: RGB/RGB-D/tactile/language; torque/velocity/waypoints/end-effector actions
  • Simulator / benchmark availability: simulation-first by default
  • Real robot constraints: hardware availability, reset cost, safety, operator time
  • Evaluation quality: success rate plus failure cases, safety violations, intervention count, latency, sample efficiency
  • Sim2real story: whether the idea can stay in sim, needs offline logs, or truly requires hardware

The goal is not to produce flashy demos. The goal is to produce ideas that are:

  • benchmarkable
  • falsifiable
  • feasible with available robotics infrastructure
  • interesting even if the answer is negative

Constants

  • MAX_PILOT_IDEAS = 3 — Validate at most 3 top ideas deeply
  • PILOT_MODE = sim-first — Prefer simulation or offline-log pilots before any hardware execution
  • REAL_ROBOT_PILOTS = explicit approval only — Never assume physical robot access or approval
  • AUTO_PROCEED = true — If user does not respond at checkpoints, proceed with the best sim-first option
  • REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-6-astra — External reviewer model via Codex MCP
  • TARGET_VENUES = CoRL, RSS, ICRA, IROS, RA-L — Default novelty and reviewer framing

Override inline, e.g. /idea-discovery-robot "bimanual manipulation" — only sim ideas, no real robot or /idea-discovery-robot "drone navigation" — focus on CoRL/RSS, 2 pilot ideas max

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.
