spectral-init

Plan a structured, reproducible experiment from a scope report. Produces an experiment plan with hypothesis, methodology, implementation phases, environment specification, and success criteria. Parallel to make-plan but for research experiments. Use when invoked by the research recipe.

Execute a designed experiment in a worktree, collect structured results, and produce a results artifact. Use when invoked by the research recipe after experiment code has been implemented.

Explore a technical research question by surveying the codebase, identifying knowns and unknowns, and producing a structured scope report. Use when user says "scope research", "explore question", or when invoked by the research recipe.

Synthesize experiment results into a structured research report for the research/ directory. Handles both conclusive and inconclusive outcomes. Use when invoked by the research recipe after experiments complete.

Implement an experiment plan in an isolated git worktree. Creates all experiment artifacts — scripts, data generators, environment configs — in a self-contained research/ subfolder. Parallel to implement-worktree-no-merge but for research experiments. Use when invoked by the research recipe.
