My personal scientific taste - my preferences in experiment design, in whether to invent or reuse a method, in what results deserve to exist, in what makes work worth building on, and in how a paper and its code read. Consult when designing or pruning experiments, deciding between a novel and a standard method, judging whether a result or a non-default choice belongs, or writing and revising my papers and code.

Run exploratory research loops - branch, run small fast experiments, produce figures, report findings honestly, let the user judge direction. Use when exploring a new idea or hypothesis, testing whether an approach works, running quick experiments in a research project, or whenever the user asks to "try" something experimental.

Large-scale parameter optimization for research projects using Bayesian (optuna TPE ask-tell) or evolutionary methods, with safeguards against metric gaming. Use when running hyperparameter search, tuning parameters at scale, setting up multi-round optimization experiments, or whenever the user mentions parameter sweeps, Bayesian optimization, or finding the best settings.

Set up and organize a Vibe Research project - a research workflow where the human scientist defines goals, standards and boundaries, and agents work autonomously within them. Use when starting a new research project, migrating an existing project into this structure, preparing a branch merge, or whenever the user mentions vibe research, research project setup, experiment scaffolding, or project migration.

Best practices for writing elegant, readable research code - direct implementations, locality of behavior, fail-fast, strict size limits, clean separation of experiment and plotting code. Use whenever writing or refactoring code in a research project, creating new experiment scripts, or organizing a source tree.

Academic paper writing workflows and standards - arXiv LaTeX template, bilingual paper management, prose discipline, citations, compilation and delivery. Use when creating, writing, or revising an academic paper in a research project, setting up a paper's LaTeX structure, syncing bilingual versions, or checking paper-code consistency.
