Hugging Face Experiments Skill

Purpose

Use the repo scripts to move experiment artifacts from the remote machine to a local clone of janitr/experiments, then commit and push.

Canonical Paths

• Remote experiments clone: /home/bob/offline/janitr-experiments
• Local experiments clone: ~/offline/janitr-experiments
• Remote-to-local sync script: scripts/sync_experiments_from_remote.sh
• Remote artifact staging script: scripts/sync_to_experiments_repo.py
• Dataset sync script: scripts/sync_datasets_to_experiments_repo.py
• Index rebuild script: scripts/rebuild_experiment_index.py
• Manifest validation script: scripts/validate_experiment_runs.py

Rules

• Default sync is full repo sync. Do not pass --run-id unless explicitly requested.
• Prefer the provided scripts over bare rsync commands.
• Keep run naming format as yyyy-mm-dd-<petname> when creating new run directories.
• Runs root must contain exactly one index file: runs/INDEX.json.
• Always rebuild index after run changes and validate before commit/push.
• Keep model artifacts at or below 30MB.
• Use --delete when syncing remote to local to prevent stale/empty local run dirs.
• Dataset snapshots use auto names yyyy-mm-dd-<petname> by default.
• Dataset sync is deduplicated by content hash; no new snapshot is created when x-posts+x-replies files are unchanged.

Workflow

1. Stage artifacts into the remote experiments clone:

python3 scripts/sync_to_experiments_repo.py \
  --dest-root ~/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --run-id 2026-02-15-flying-narwhal

2. Sync remote experiments repo to local (default full sync, no run filter, mirror mode):

bash scripts/sync_experiments_from_remote.sh \
  --remote bob@<remote-host> \
  --remote-path /home/bob/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --dest ~/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --delete

3. Optional dry-run before real sync:

bash scripts/sync_experiments_from_remote.sh \
  --remote bob@<remote-host> \
  --remote-path /home/bob/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --dest ~/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --delete \
  --dry-run

4. Rebuild single index and validate manifests:

python3 scripts/rebuild_experiment_index.py \
  --runs-root ~/offline/janitr-experiments/runs

python3 scripts/validate_experiment_runs.py \
  --runs-root ~/offline/janitr-experiments/runs \
  --require-runs-root

5. Commit and push from local experiments clone:

cd ~/offline/janitr-experiments
git status
git add runs
git commit -m "add experiment run(s)"
git push

Dataset Snapshots

Use this to stage current x-posts + x-replies datasets into the experiments repo:

python3 scripts/sync_datasets_to_experiments_repo.py \
  --dest-root ~/offline/janitr-experiments

Defaults:

• x-posts dataset source: data/sample.jsonl
• x-replies dataset source: data/replies.jsonl
• snapshot id: auto-generated yyyy-mm-dd-<petname>

Behavior:

• Writes snapshot under datasets/snapshots/<snapshot_id>/.
• Updates datasets/INDEX.json.
• If content is unchanged (same hashes), does not create a duplicate snapshot.

Optional: Sync a Single Run

Use only when explicitly asked:

bash scripts/sync_experiments_from_remote.sh \
  --remote bob@<remote-host> \
  --remote-path /home/bob/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --dest ~/offline/janitr-experiments \
  --run-id 2026-02-15-flying-narwhal
