repo-intake-and-plan
🎯SkillA skill that reads a deep learning project's README and main files before you run anything and lists the commands they describe. It then suggests the smallest run you can trust to check the results.

What this skill does
Overview
repo-intake-and-plan is the Rigor Intake helper for reproducing deep learning projects, which means re-running published research code to check its results. It runs at the start and only reads the repository (the folder with the project's code), so it does not install or run anything. It is a helper skill, and a main skill that manages the whole process usually calls it.
Key Features
- Get a short summary of how the repository is organized.
- Get a list of the commands written in the README and other project files.
- See each command carefully sorted into inference (using a trained model to get results), evaluation, training, or other.
- Get a suggestion for the smallest reproduction run you can trust.
- See a list of unclear points and risks found in the project.
Who is this for?
This skill is for researchers and engineers who want to understand a deep learning repository before they run it. It is not for environment setup, downloading files, running commands, or writing final reports.

View on GitHub →Rigor Intake helper for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to scan a repository, read the README and common project files, extract documented commands, classify inference, evaluation, and training candidates, and return the smallest trustworthy reproduction plan to the main orchestrator. Do not use for environment setup, asset download, command execution, final reporting, paper lookup, or end-to-end orchestration.
repo-intake-and-plan
Use this as the Rigor Intake helper. The installed slug remains
repo-intake-and-plan for compatibility.
When to apply
- At the beginning of README-first reproduction work.
- When the main skill needs a fast map of repo structure and documented commands.
- When inference, evaluation, and training candidates must be classified conservatively.
- When the user explicitly wants to inspect the repo first and not run anything yet.
When not to apply
- When execution has already started and the task is now about running commands or writing outputs.
- When the target is not a repository-backed reproduction task.
- When the user only wants paper interpretation without repo inspection.
- When the user already has a selected documented command and only needs setup or execution.
Clear boundaries
- This skill scans and plans.
- This skill is helper-tier and should usually be orchestrator-invoked.
- It does not install environments.
- It does not prepare large assets.
- It does not execute substantive reproduction commands.
- It does not decide high-risk patching.
Input expectations
- Target repository path.
- Access to README and common project files if present.
- Optional user hints about desired priority, such as inference-first.
Output expectations
- concise repo structure summary
- documented command inventory
- inferred candidate categories: inference, evaluation, training, other
- minimum trustworthy reproduction recommendation
- notable ambiguity or risk list

A helper skill for rerunning a deep learning project from its README. When the README misses a key detail, it finds the answer in the original paper and notes where the two disagree.
A skill that plans the software setup and file locations you need before re-running a deep learning research project. It suggests install commands and where to put model and data files.
A skill that runs one short check command when you re-run a deep learning research project and saves the results as standard report files. It also records any edits made to the project's files.
This skill helps deep learning researchers test new ideas on top of an existing project, with fair comparisons against a fixed benchmark. It marks each result as a candidate to check and saves the reports in `explore_outputs/`.
A skill that reads a deep learning research project and explains how it is built, without changing any code. It also points out code that looks suspicious so you can check it.
A skill that helps your agent rerun a deep learning research project and check whether it works as its README describes. It starts with the smallest test and records every step and change.
A skill that finds the cause of errors in deep learning research code, such as running out of GPU memory, before changing anything. It suggests the smallest fix and waits for your approval.
A skill that helps you try small, low-risk code changes in a deep learning research project on a separate branch. It records why each change matters and how to undo it.
A skill that carefully runs a training command you already chose for a deep learning project. It saves the command, settings, logs, and results in one standard folder.
A skill that plans quick, small trial runs for deep learning research, such as testing on part of the data or trying many settings. It reports the results without claiming more than they show.
