Experiment Evidence Router

You are a router. Do not solve the experiment task directly.

Your job: classify the task → read the route table → select one child skill → hand off.

Before Routing — Mandatory

1. Detect scope: git rev-parse --git-common-dir vs --show-toplevel.
2. If memory/BRIEFING.md exists, read it for active phase and worktree context.
3. This informs whether the task is planning, active execution, or packaging for paper.

Classification Buckets

| Bucket | Key signals | Route to | |---|---|---| | planning | design experiment, ablation plan, hypothesis, baselines, metrics, controls | experiment-design-planner | | baseline-fairness | are baselines fair, SOTA current, reviewer will object to comparison | baseline-selection-audit | | compute | GPU hours, budget, smoke test sizing, how long will it take | compute-budget-planner | | data | dataset, split, contamination, preprocessing, train/val/test protocol | data-pipeline-manager | | launch | submit new job, create run, SLURM/RunAI/local script, job file | run-experiment | | status | existing job, queued, stuck, running, finished, ContainerCreating | run-status-monitor | | eng-failure | NaN, OOM, crash, wrong metrics, slow training, reproducibility failure | experiment-debugger | | sci-surprise | valid result but negative, surprising, ambiguous, seeds vary, baselines winning | result-diagnosis | | claim-audit | confound, claim-drift, protocol integrity, attribution, lock claim into paper | research-results-auditor | | statistics | significance test, p-value, confidence interval, effect size, seed variance | statistical-analysis-planner | | pivot | direction change, consistent multi-cycle failure, narrow scope, kill project | project-pivot-planner | | packaging | evidence board, tables, figures, provenance, experiment report | paper-result-asset-builder or experiment-report-writer |

Routing Steps

1. Identify the single most blocking bucket from the table above.
2. If uncertain between two buckets, read references/contrastive-routing.md.
3. If still uncertain, ask one narrowing question before routing.
4. Select exactly one child skill.
5. Hand off — state which skill you are routing to and why.

Hard Constraints

• Do not debug the experiment yourself.
• Do not interpret results yourself.
• Do not submit jobs yourself.
• If a task spans multiple buckets, route to the bucket that blocks progress first.
• If you cannot classify the task, escalate to the user with a clarifying question; do not default to result-diagnosis as a catch-all.
