Co Scientist Params

co-scientist-params

Goal:

• Show the user the available high-level start parameters for Co-Scientist.

When to use:

• The user asks what knobs or parameters are available.
• The user asks how /co-scientist-start can be configured.
• The user wants the expert-facing parameter table instead of the short guided intake.

Execution steps:

1. Run:

   python -m tools.host.claude_project_cli params
   

2. If the user explicitly wants machine-readable output, run:

   python -m tools.host.claude_project_cli params --format json
   

3. Present the parameter surface in this order:

   • core axes
   • advanced axes
   • utility flags only when relevant

4. Use ../../shared-references/start-parameters.md as the canonical contract for names, defaults, and meanings.

Rules:

• Lead with the core axes and defaults rather than dumping every possible flag immediately.
• Do not expose low-level mechanics settings such as num_debaters, elo_k_factor, or ucb_exploration_constant as user-facing start parameters.
• If the user only wants to begin a run, route back to /co-scientist-start after answering the parameter question.
