Agent Skill
Ara Rigor Reviewer skill
ara-rigor-reviewerOrchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs22-agent-native-research-artifact/rigor-reviewer/SKILL.md
Performs ARA Seal Level 2 semantic epistemic review on Agent-Native Research Artifacts, scoring six dimensions (evidence relevance, falsifiability, scope calibration, argument coherence, exploration integrity, methodological rigor) and producing a constructive, severity-ranked report with a Strong Accept-to-Reject recommendation. Use after Level 1 structural validation passes, when an ARA needs an objective epistemic critique before publication or release.

Install the Ara Rigor Reviewer skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill ara-rigor-reviewer
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs.git /tmp/AI-Research-SKILLs mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/AI-Research-SKILLs/22-agent-native-research-artifact/rigor-reviewer ~/.claude/skills/ara-rigor-reviewer
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 90 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 4,013 tok |
| Only if opened | 1 bundled files (8 KB) | varies |
Until it is used, ara-rigor-reviewer costs about 15× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 98 skills from Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs would load 6,174 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study

Generates publication-quality figures for ML papers from research context. Given a paper section or description, extracts system components and relationships to generate architecture diagrams via Gemini. Given experiment results or data, auto-selects chart type and generates data-driven figures via matplotlib/seaborn. Use when creating any figure for a conference paper.

Compiles any research input — PDF papers, GitHub repositories, experiment logs, code directories, or raw notes — into a complete Agent-Native Research Artifact (ARA) with cognitive layer (claims, concepts, heuristics), physical layer (configs, code stubs), exploration graph, and grounded evidence. Use when ingesting a paper or codebase into a structured, machine-executable knowledge package, building an ARA from scratch, or converting research outputs into a falsifiable, agent-traversable form.

Records research provenance as a post-task epilogue, scanning conversation history at the end of a coding or research session to extract decisions, experiments, dead ends, claims, heuristics, and pivots, and writing them into the ara/ directory with user-vs-AI provenance tags. Use as a session epilogue — never during execution — to maintain a faithful, auditable trace of how a research project actually evolved.

Orchestrates end-to-end autonomous AI research projects using a two-loop architecture. The inner loop runs rapid experiment iterations with clear optimization targets. The outer loop synthesizes results, identifies patterns, and steers research direction. Routes to domain-specific skills for execution, supports continuous agent operation via Claude Code /loop and OpenClaw heartbeat, and produces research presentations and papers. Use when starting a research project, running autonomous experiments, or managing a multi-hypothesis research effort.
