Prospective multi-pathogen disease forecasting using autonomous LLM-guided tree search - paper-skill (wave500)
Skill type: positioning / evaluation / design-pattern-extractor.
This is NOT a heliophysics method. Loaded by the HelioSI runtime (or any
agent harness) to (a) audit manuscript/benchmark/positioning claims,
(b) reuse design patterns from non-heliophysics AI-scientist work, and
(c) seed research-generation affordances for heliophysics-specific
runtime upgrades. See §9 for the Layer-4 affordances.
Source type: agent-runtime-positioning. Executable status: design-pattern-extractor.
1. Trigger (Layer 1)
Invoke this skill when an agent (HelioSI manuscript writer, benchmark
designer, runtime architect, or any other harness consumer) is:
- drafting/revising HelioSI manuscript sections that compare against domain-specific-ai-scientist systems
- designing a HelioSI benchmark or evaluation that should reflect the agent-runtime-tree-search-executable-software pattern
- deciding whether a HelioSI subsystem should borrow this paper's design choices or explicitly reject them
Do NOT use this skill as a heliophysics data-pipeline component - it
has no data_products[] and no executable scientific workflow over
mission data.
2. Paper claim -> verifiable task (Layer 1)
Claim (narrow form). An autonomous LLM-guided tree-search system iteratively generates, evaluates, and optimizes executable forecasting software for multi-pathogen disease forecasting, demonstrated prospectively.
Verifiable task. A reproduction of this skill's positioning value
succeeds when an agent restates the claim above with the
claim_boundary.scope bounds intact, refuses overclaims listed in
§7, and emits the §9 Layer-4 affordances in a form a graph walker can
consume.
3. Methods / equations -> executable protocol (Layer 2, abstract)
Each item below is the paper's method as an abstract capability the
runtime would need to reproduce or borrow the design pattern. No
specific runtime (LingTai, Claude Code, an MCP server) is named here -
those belong in §8 / adapter_notes[], which are intentionally empty
for this wave500 batch.
Method 1: LLM-guided tree search over executable forecasting software
- Paper role: explicit named method/component of the paper's contribution.
- Abstract procedure: the runtime that wants to borrow this pattern must be able to (a) instantiate the component as a callable, (b) feed it the manuscript/benchmark/sibling-skill inputs from §4, and (c) emit an artifact a Layer-4 affordance can reference.
Method 2: Per-candidate evaluation against prospective forecast metric
- Paper role: explicit named method/component of the paper's contribution.
- Abstract procedure: the runtime that wants to borrow this pattern must be able to (a) instantiate the component as a callable, (b) feed it the manuscript/benchmark/sibling-skill inputs from §4, and (c) emit an artifact a Layer-4 affordance can reference.
Method 3: Optimization loop maintained over time
- Paper role: explicit named method/component of the paper's contribution.
- Abstract procedure: the runtime that wants to borrow this pattern must be able to (a) instantiate the component as a callable, (b) feed it the manuscript/benchmark/sibling-skill inputs from §4, and (c) emit an artifact a Layer-4 affordance can reference.
4. Data / instruments -> abstract tool contracts (Layer 2, abstract)
This paper is a positioning / evaluation / design-pattern source, not a
heliophysics-data workflow. The "data" the skill consumes is the
HelioSI manuscript draft, benchmark spec, runtime architecture
description, or sibling paper-skills.
| Input artifact | Role | Capability requirement |
|---|
HelioSI manuscript draft (heliosi_manuscript_draft.md) | Target of positioning checklist | Filesystem read |
| HelioSI benchmark spec | Target of benchmark-design template | Filesystem read |
| Sibling paper-skills (this corpus) | Source of cross-references | Skill-catalog read |
| External paper (DOI/arXiv) | Source for full-text verification (currently TODO) | Web fetch (optional) |
5. Validation target -> benchmark artifact (Layer 2)
Not benchmarked yet - this is a positioning-skill-not-executable-science
entry. Promotion requires either (a) a manuscript-coverage audit
artifact, (b) a benchmark-construction prototype, or (c) a Layer-3
adapter that wires the design pattern into HelioSI and runs it
end-to-end on a heliophysics test case.
6. Failure modes -> skill memory (Layer 1)
Pitfalls a future agent applying this skill must remember:
- Search budget can explode without pruning.
- Forecast metric drift in non-stationary settings.
7. Claim boundary (Layer 1)
In scope. Bounded to the prospective multi-pathogen disease-forecasting setting reported in the paper; the contribution is a software-search loop, not a static model.
Out of scope - do NOT generalize beyond:
- Do not assume the search loop converges in domains without a clear forecast metric.
- Do not treat 'autonomous' as equivalent to 'unsupervised in the field'.
If a downstream task asks for a generalization listed above, refuse it
and return a reference to a sibling paper-skill that covers it (or
report none).
8. Links and adapter binding examples (Layer 3, optional)
Adapter notes intentionally empty for this batch - the skill remains
executable from §3-§5 alone on any agent harness that supports
filesystem reads + skill-catalog walks.
9. Skill graph + research-generation affordances (Layer 4 and graph edges)
Skill graph (depends_on edges).
No paper-skill dependencies (self-contained positioning/design-pattern source).
Research-generation affordances - how this paper helps HelioSI (or
any heliophysics agent) generate or evaluate new scientific ideas:
- Hypothesis - Replace 'disease forecast accuracy' with 'PSP turbulence diagnostic recovery' and the same loop becomes a HelioSI workflow search: which combination of paper-skills + parameters best reproduces a known finding? Related: n/a.
- Minimal_experiment - Run an LLM-guided tree search over (paper-skill, parameter) pairs to reproduce the cascade-rate enhancement claim in [[bandyopadhyay-2020-energy-transfer-psp]]; measure budget vs. reproduction fidelity. Related: n/a.
Notes
- This SKILL.md is a
wave500_agent_runtime_eval_design_045 batch
entry. It is harness-agnostic by construction; do not bind it to a
specific runtime without converting Layer-3 adapter_notes[] to
populated.
- The
provenance.source_record field points to the inventory anchor
used to write this skill; full-text verification of all identifiers
is pending and any TODO_verify_with_full_text token must be
resolved before promoting past stub tier.
