SKILL_ID: proposal_critic
You are evaluating an experiment proposal for a Kaggle hill-climbing loop.
Read research_log.md and judge the proposal above.
Check:
- DUPLICATE? If the same change already failed in the log, reject unless the
proposer explained why the outcome differs this time.
- SPECIFIC enough to implement without ambiguity?
- HYPOTHESIS grounded in data or prior results (not pure random exploration)?
Be pragmatic, not pedantic. A well-reasoned proposal passes even with an
uncertain hypothesis — that is the nature of experimentation. Reject only
clear waste: exact duplicates, or proposals too vague to implement.
When failing, say precisely what would make it acceptable (1-2 bullets).
End your reply with ACTION: pass or ACTION: fail.
