Chalk Labs
Need help deploying experiment-run?
Chalk Labs sets up agents like this inside real teams: connected to your tools, tested on your data, with a human in the loop where it matters.
Install
Works with Claude Code, Claude apps, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf. Read the repository before you give any tool access to your data.
npx agentmarket install skill/shiien-experiment-run
Asks which of your tools to add it to (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop) and shows the change first. See https://agentmart.dev/cli.

What's inside
- Skill name
experiment-run- Description
- Launch a training / experiment run. The skill owns the judgment — contract gate, GPU selection across the cluster, environment verification — and delegates the mechanical dispatch (nohup/ssh launch, PID capture, record writing with the contract embedded) to `python -m harness ext-launch`, which refuses to launch without a valid contract. For experiments inside the SER repo, delegates to `python -m harness run`. Triggers on "run an experiment", "launch training", "test this on GPU", or when the user provides a training script/command to execute.

# experiment-run
**Trigger**: User asks to "run an experiment", "launch training", "test this
on GPU", or provides a training script to execute.
**Process**:
1. **Contract gate (hard requirement)**: locate this run's experiment
contract — `experiments/{exp_name}/plan.md § Contracts`, the ledger
entry's config, or user-provided. None exists → DO NOT LAUNCH: draft the
7 fields with the user (≤10 lines; anything non-trivial → chain
`experiment-plan`). Save it to a YAML file (or point at the config whose
`contract:` block holds it) — `ext-launch` validates and embeds it, so
evaluation criteria are frozen at launch.
*SER-repo experiments*: skip dispatch entirely — `python -m harness run
configs/<exp>.yaml`.
2. **Pre-flight judgment**:
- GPU availability:
`bash ~/.claude/skills/monitor-gpu-utilization/scripts/gpu_status.sh` —
prefer remote machines, >20 GB free, <10% util, 1 job per GPU.
- Verify the target machine's python interpreter actually has the needed
framework (per-machine paths in user CLAUDE.md — do NOT assume a
shared env path).
- Sanity-check the command (module importable, config exists); smoke
test first when the change is untested (see `run-experiment`
user-level skill).
3. **Dispatch via the harness** (never hand-roll the ssh/nohup line):
```bash
python -m harness ext-launch \
--command "<python-path> -m <entry> <overrides>" \
--machine remote-13 --ip 172.16.51.13 --gpu 0 \
--workdir "~/codeforshare/<repo>" \
--contract <contract-or-config>.yaml
```
It validates the contract, launches with `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`, captures
the PID, and writes `logs/experiments/{exp_id}.yaml` (status `launched`,
contract embedded). `--dry-run` to preview.
4. **Confirm + hand off**: report the 3-line launch status; chain
`experiment-monitor` (which polls via `harness ext-status`). Remember:
`status: completed` means the process finished — the experiment is
complete only after `experiment-analyze` judges it against the embedded
contract.
5. **Notify** if `autonomy.auto_proceed` is enabled (`scripts/notify.py`).
**Inputs**: command + contract + cluster state
**Outputs**: running process + `logs/experiments/{exp_id}.yaml` (written by ext-launch)
**Token**: ~1-3K (dispatch itself is free)
**Composition**: launch → `experiment-monitor` → `experiment-analyze`.From Shiien/Self-Evolved-Research-Framework, MIT.
