labmate

Unified document archival — covers both agent-facing knowhow (env setup, debug, infra, runbooks) and human-facing docs (design, guides, README, changelog). Triggers on: "update docs", "更新文档", "写 README", "记下来", "归档", "save this", "update knowhow", or after a <knowhow-hint> prompt. Also triggers when conversation context implies documentation should be created or updated.

Alias for /update-docs (knowhow branch). Use when user says '记下来', '归档', 'save this', or after a <knowhow-hint> prompt. Routes to the unified /update-docs workflow with knowhow branch auto-selected.

Use when an experiment has completed and results need analysis, interpretation, or presentation. Triggers on "analyze results", "分析实验", "interpret experiment", "what did exp find", "run analysis".

Use when creating git commits, updating CHANGELOG.md, committing across nested repos, or generating weekly progress summaries. Triggers on "commit", "提交", "changelog", "weekly summary", "周报", "write commit message".

Use when setting up a new project (general or research) or when .pipeline-state.json is missing. Triggers on "init project", "初始化项目", "set up labmate", "first time setup", "initialize".

Check experiment status and diagnose failures via exp-manager. Triggers on "check status", "看看实验", "how's the run", "any failures", "is it done", "monitor experiment", "experiment status".

Use when starting a new experiment — scaffolds exp/{exp_id}/ directory with README, config, run.py, analyze.py, and results structure. Triggers on "new experiment", "新实验", "scaffold exp", "set up experiment", "create experiment".

Deep-dive a single paper — methodology, assumptions, implications. Triggers on "read this paper", "读论文", "explain this PDF", "arxiv.org/abs/", paper URLs, "what does this paper say", "paper deep-dive".

Systematic literature survey for a research topic. Triggers on "survey the literature", "文献调研", "find papers about", "what's been done on", "literature review", "related work for".

Regenerate project-skill/SKILL.md from current codebase. Triggers when project skill is stale (>24h), before context compacts, after major findings, or on first run. Also on "refresh project knowledge", "更新项目知识".

Build results dashboard, comparison view, or project overview. Triggers on "visualize", "可视化", "show results", "dashboard", "compare experiments", "chart my results", "project overview".

Lightweight task tracking with auto-index. Add/complete/list TODO items stored in docs/TODO.md. Use when user says "todo", "记一下", "待办", "回头要", "add a todo", or wants to track action items during work.

Use when advising on project architecture, experiment history, codebase navigation, or research findings. Auto-maintained by /update-project-skill.
