Execute research code inside isolated Docker containers for safe replication, experiments, and benchmarks. Use when the user selects Docker as the execution environment or asks to run code safely, in isolation, or in a sandbox.
Find implementable ML training recipes from papers, datasets, docs, and code. Use when the user wants to fine-tune, train, reproduce, or choose a practical ML method, dataset, hyperparameter setup, or benchmark recipe.
Autonomous experiment loop that tries ideas, measures results, keeps what works, and discards what doesn't. Use when the user asks to optimize a metric, run an experiment loop, improve performance iteratively, or automate benchmarking.
Contribute changes to the Feynman repository itself. Use when the task is to add features, fix bugs, update prompts or skills, change install or release behavior, improve docs, or prepare a focused PR against this repo.
Run a thorough, source-heavy investigation on any topic. Use when the user asks for deep research, a comprehensive analysis, an in-depth report, or a multi-source investigation. Produces a cited research brief with provenance tracking.
Inspect active background research work including running processes, scheduled follow-ups, and pending tasks. Use when the user asks what's running, checks on background work, or wants to see scheduled jobs.
Run a literature review using paper search and primary-source synthesis. Use when the user asks for a lit review, paper survey, state of the art, or academic landscape summary on a research topic.

Run research code inside Docker containers while Feynman stays on the host. The container gets the project files, runs the commands, and results sync back.
/replicate or /autoresearchFor Python research code (most common):
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 bash -c "
pip install -r requirements.txt &&
python train.py
"
For projects with a Dockerfile:
docker build -t feynman-experiment .
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/results":/workspace/results feynman-experiment
For GPU workloads:
docker run --rm --gpus all -v "$(pwd)":/workspace -w /workspace pytorch/pytorch:latest bash -c "
pip install -r requirements.txt &&
python train.py
"
| Research type | Base image |
|---|---|
| Python ML/DL | pytorch/pytorch:latest or tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu |
| Python general | python:3.11 |
| Node.js | node:20 |
| R / statistics | rocker/r-ver:4 |
| Julia | julia:1.10 |
| Multi-language | ubuntu:24.04 with manual installs |
For iterative experiments (like /autoresearch), create a named container instead of --rm. Choose a descriptive name based on the experiment:
docker create --name <name> -v "$(pwd)":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 tail -f /dev/null
docker start <name>
docker exec <name> bash -c "pip install -r requirements.txt"
docker exec <name> bash -c "python train.py"
This preserves installed packages across iterations. Clean up with:
docker stop <name> && docker rm <name>
--network none for full isolation
