DeepScientist Full Pipeline
End-to-end autonomous research workflow for: $ARGUMENTS
Overview
This skill chains all DeepScientist research stages into a single pipeline:
/ds-scout → /ds-baseline → /ds-idea → /ds-experiment → /ds-analysis-campaign → /ds-optimize → /ds-write → /ds-review → /ds-finalize
Pipeline
Stage 1: Scout
Frame the research problem, survey literature, identify datasets/metrics, discover existing baselines.
/ds-scout "$ARGUMENTS"
Output: Problem framing, literature map, baseline shortlist, evaluation contract.
🚦 Gate 1: Present the research landscape to the user. Wait for confirmation before proceeding.
Stage 2: Baseline
Reproduce or import the most relevant baseline from Stage 1's shortlist.
/ds-baseline
Output: Working baseline with verified metrics, comparability contract.
Stage 3: Idea
Generate concrete research hypotheses based on the literature gaps and baseline analysis.
/ds-idea
Output: Ranked candidate ideas with selection rationale.
🚦 Gate 2: Present top ideas to the user. Wait for confirmation of which idea to pursue.
Stage 4: Experiment
Implement and run the main experiment for the selected idea.
/ds-experiment
Output: Experiment code, results, evidence artifacts.
Stage 5: Analysis Campaign
Run follow-up experiments: ablations, robustness checks, error analysis.
/ds-analysis-campaign
Output: Ablation results, robustness data, writing-facing evidence slices.
Stage 6: Optimize (Optional)
If results are promising but not yet strong enough, run algorithm-first iterative improvement.
/ds-optimize
Skip this stage if main experiment results already meet the success criteria.
Stage 7: Write
Draft the paper from accepted evidence.
/ds-write
Output: LaTeX paper draft with figures and references.
Stage 8: Review
Run an independent skeptical audit of the draft.
/ds-review
Output: Review report with severity-graded feedback.
If review identifies critical issues → fix and re-review (max 2 rounds).
Stage 9: Finalize
Consolidate final claims, limitations, and recommendations.
/ds-finalize
Output: Final paper, summary state, resume packet.
Key Rules
- Gate checkpoints after Scout and Idea stages. Do not proceed without user confirmation on research direction and idea selection.
- Stages 4-9 can run autonomously once the user confirms the idea.
- Evidence-first writing. Every claim in the paper must trace to an experiment artifact.
- Fail gracefully. If any stage fails, report clearly and suggest alternatives rather than forcing forward.
- Git as memory. Commit after each stage so progress is durable.
Typical Timeline

| 2. Baseline | 15-60 min | Yes |
| 3. Idea | 15-30 min | Wait for Gate 2 |
| 4. Experiment | 30 min - hours | Yes |
| 5. Analysis | 30-60 min | Yes |
| 6. Optimize | 0-60 min | Yes (optional) |
| 7. Write | 30-60 min | Yes |
| 8. Review | 15-30 min | Yes |
| 9. Finalize | 10-20 min | Yes |
