75 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

By fcakyon/labrat (GitHub) · research · 459 stars · scanned at commit 0487762

End-to-end paper reproduction from arxiv URL through smoke runs to replication experiments. Handles missing or partial official code, missing training scripts, missing hyperparameters, and private datasets via similar-public-dataset substitution. Use when the user asks to reproduce, implement, replicate, or re-run a paper from scratch, or pastes an arxiv URL with reproduction intent.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'reproduce' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'reproduce' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named reproduce already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/fcakyon/labrat' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '04877622ff124d92d9ee8377109499c0afc6bf01' -- 'plugin/skills/reproduce' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugin/skills/reproduce' ~/.agents/skills/'reproduce' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'reproduce' ~/.claude/skills/'reproduce' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
