Individual skill
experiment-pipeline
Guides structured 4-stage experiment execution with attempt budgets and gate conditions: Stage 1 initial implementation (reproduce baseline), Stage 2 hyperparameter tuning, Stage 3 proposed method validation, Stage 4 ablation study. Integrates with evo-memory (load prior strategies, trigger IVE/ESE) and experiment-craft (5-step diagnostic on failure). Use when: user has a planned experiment, needs to reproduce baselines, organize experiment workflow, or systematically validate a method. Do NOT use for debugging a specific experiment failure (use experiment-craft) or designing which experiments to run (use paper-planning).

# Experiment Pipeline
A structured 4-stage framework for executing research experiments from initial implementation through ablation study, with attempt budgets and gate conditions that prevent wasted effort. This follows the Experiment Tree Search design from the EvoScientist paper, where the engineer agent iteratively generates executable code, runs experiments, and records structured execution results at each stage.
## When to Use This Skill
- User has a planned experiment and needs to organize the execution workflow
- User wants to systematically validate a novel method against baselines
- User asks about experiment stages, attempt budgets, or when to move on
- User needs to reproduce baseline results before testing their method
- User mentions "experiment pipeline", "baseline first", "ablation study", "stage budget", "experiment execution"
