ml-research-workflow

ml-research-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zhyx12/projtool. It costs 206 tokens per session (12,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for machine-learning experiments in repositories managed by projtool. It covers training, evaluation, data processing, experiment runs, remote machines, reports, and experiment history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing or running ML experiments, provisioning GPUs, syncing code, managing experiment branches, and recording research results.
Why use it?
It keeps experiment code, results, and reports organised across a local computer and remote GPU machines. It also sets rules for running heavy workloads remotely and scaling them when needed.

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

ml-research-workflow 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 — 863 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ML research workflow

projtool runs ML experiments across a local development machine and remote AutoDL containers. Three asset categories — code, outputs, reports — have different version-control needs and different storage backends. Your job is to keep them coherent without making the user do bookkeeping.

Hard policy: remote-first, watched, in the user's language

Remote-first (user ruling 2026-07-16). Experiment workloads — training, evaluation, data preprocessing, dataset downloads — run on the remote instance, never on the user's machine. The local machine is for code editing, report writing, and light analysis (seconds of CPU, no GPU, no bulk disk I/O). If the user explicitly asks for a local run, warn about CPU/disk impact and run AT MOST ONE at a time. If remote throughput is the bottleneck, scale remotely — start_runs(parallelism=N) lanes or another slot — instead of spilling to the local box. Do not self-ration to save money (user ruling: "我不缺钱"): renting another instance or a bigger card is always preferable to queueing work locally or serializing what could run in parallel. Cost forks (wait for stock vs take a pricier spec) are the user's call — present the options; don't silently pick the cheap one.

Long remote operations (>~2 minutes). Never run them as a blocking MCP call. Anything that installs, downloads, trains, or converts for minutes goes through run_script (tracked, cancellable, watchable); remote_exec is for commands that finish in seconds. Two non-obvious rules learned from incidents:

  • A cancelled long call did NOT stop. Cancelling a blocking MCP call only abandons the client side — the remote command keeps running and may complete minutes later (2026-07-16: a cancelled 40-minute env setup finished on its own and was recorded as a success). After any cancel of a long projtool call, assume the remote side is still executing: check state (get_run_status, a short remote_exec probe, diagnose) before retrying, or you will run the operation twice.
  • Re-launching after an interruption must be idempotent. After an API stall, session restart, or a user "继续", call list_run_statuses FIRST and reconcile against what is already running/exited. Blind re-launch duplicates runs and leaves orphans nobody finalizes (2026-07-17: two orphan runs from exactly this).

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

ml-research-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository zhyx12/projtool (1 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 206 tokens to every session and 12,470 once invoked, about $0.0010 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 2026-08-31.
