Agent Auto Sci Automation
Use this subskill to convert a one-off research task into a persistent workflow.
Fast Workflow
- Define the project root, source folders, output folders, and ownership boundaries.
- Create or update a source manifest: papers, notes, data, scripts, figures, manuscripts.
- Convert sources into structured memory: tables, indexes, concept notes, method notes, failed attempts.
- Route the task to literature, idea, experiment, analysis, writing, review, or archive stages.
- Add checkpoints for long-running workflows.
- Update the evolution archive after workflow improvements.

Default Memory Entities
sources: PDFs, data, notes, web pages.papers: structured paper records, DOI, topic, method, findings.concepts: definitions, boundaries, related concepts.methods: reusable analytical or writing methods.ideas: proposed, rejected, validated, or failed research ideas.experiments: empirical or computational tests, including failed runs.outputs: manuscripts, figures, tables, posters, slides.reviews: reviewer comments, internal critiques, response strategies.evolution: skill changes, new workflows, validation evidence.
Quality Rules
- Checkpoint before long workflows.
- Do not overwrite user-curated source boundaries without explicit instruction.
- Record failed ideas and weak evidence, not only successful outputs.
- Do not write secrets into logs or HTML.
