About ai-research-explore

ai-research-explore
Rigor Explore compatible skill slug for meaningful
ai-research-explore is an agent skill from the rigorpilot-skills collection for exploring candidate deep learning research ideas with scientific rigor. It is the Rigor Explore skill, and its installed name stays ai-research-explore for compatibility. The skill is meant for use after a researcher has picked a task family and explicitly authorized candidate-only work on top of a durable research anchor. It aims at meaningful and potentially novel research candidates while keeping comparability, reproducibility and an auditable record of the collaboration. The skill is careful about what it claims. It treats novelty and significance as hypotheses to be tested against the literature, ablation evidence and fair comparison, and it does not promise autonomous discovery, complete coverage of a benchmark, proof of novelty or a reproduction that will succeed. Before it works it points the assistant to shared operating principles and to the research-rigor and deep-learning experiment references, which matter when experiment details affect whether results can be compared. It suits researchers who want an agent to propose and check candidate ideas under explicit rules rather than run open-ended experiments. The skill's listing shows about 319,000 installs on skills.sh, with Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk each showing a warning. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/lllllllama/rigorpilot-skills --skill ai-research-explore.
