research-refine-pipeline

research-refine-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end workflow that first sharpens a vague research direction and then turns it into a detailed experiment plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce a focused proposal, review the refinement process, plan experiments, and identify the next steps to run.
Why use it?
It connects method design with validation, so experiments are tied to the claims the research needs to support.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

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 Use it to produce a focused proposal, review the refinement process, plan experiments, and identify the next steps to run.

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.

    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.

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-refine-pipeline 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 9d 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 Refine Pipeline: End-to-End Method and Experiment Planning

Refine and concretize: $ARGUMENTS

Overview

Use this skill when the user does not want to stop at a refined method. The goal is to produce a coherent package that includes:

  • a problem-anchored, elegant final proposal
  • the review history explaining why the method is focused
  • a detailed experiment roadmap tied to the paper's claims
  • a compact pipeline summary that says what to run next

This skill composes two existing workflows:

  1. research-refine for method refinement
  2. experiment-plan for claim-driven validation planning

For stage-specific detail, read these sibling skills only when needed:

  • ../research-refine/SKILL.md
  • ../experiment-plan/SKILL.md

Core Rule

Do not plan a large experiment suite on top of an unstable method. First stabilize the thesis. Then turn the stable thesis into experiments.

Default Outputs

  • refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md
  • refine-logs/REVIEW_SUMMARY.md
  • refine-logs/REFINEMENT_REPORT.md
  • refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_PLAN.md
  • refine-logs/EXPERIMENT_TRACKER.md
  • refine-logs/PIPELINE_SUMMARY.md

Workflow

Phase 0: Triage the Starting Point

  • Extract the problem, rough approach, constraints, resources, and target venue.
  • Check whether refine-logs/FINAL_PROPOSAL.md already exists and still matches the current request.
  • If the proposal is missing, stale, or materially different from the current request, run the full research-refine stage.
  • If the proposal is already strong and aligned, reuse it and jump to experiment planning.
  • If in doubt, prefer re-running research-refine rather than planning experiments for the wrong method.

Phase 1: Method Refinement Stage

Run the research-refine workflow and keep its V3 philosophy intact:

  • preserve the Problem Anchor
  • prefer the smallest adequate mechanism
  • keep one dominant contribution
  • modernize only when it improves the paper

Exit this stage only when these are explicit:

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.

research-refine-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep (16,030 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,481 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
