--- name: pilot-scientific-research-team-setup description: > Deploy a scientific research team with 4 agents. Use this skill when: 1. User wants to set up a collaborative research pipeline with literature review, hypothesis generation, experimentation, and reporting 2. User is configuring agents for automated scientific discovery workflows 3. User asks about research automation, hypothesis testing pipelines, or experiment management Do NOT use this skill when: - User wants a single literature search (use pilot-discover instead) - User wants to share a file between two agents (use pilot-share instead) - User only needs data archival (use pilot-archive instead) tags: - pilot-protocol - setup - research - science - hypothesis-testing license: AGPL-3.0 metadata: author: vulture-labs version: "1.0" openclaw: requires: bins: -

`literature -> hypothesis` : literature synthesis with gaps and citations (port 1002) - `hypothesis -> experiment` : ranked research hypotheses with protocols (port 1002) - `experiment -> report` : experimental results with statistical analysis (port 1002) - `report -> external` : published research reports (port 443) ## Workflow Example ```bash # On literature -- publish synthesis: pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-hypothesis literature-synthesis '{"topic":"transformer scaling laws","papers_reviewed":47,"gaps":["sparse attention + MoE interaction unknown"]}' # On hypothesis -- publish ranked hypothesis: pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-experiment research-hypothesis '{"hypothesis_id":"H-031","statement":"Flash attention + MoE achieves superlinear scaling","novelty_score":0.87}' # On experiment -- publish validated results: pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-report experiment-result '{"hypothesis_id":"H-031","status":"partially_supported","p_value":0.003,"effect_size":"medium"}' # On report -- announce publication: pilotctl --json publish <prefix>-report research-report '{"title":"Flash Attention + MoE: Superlinear Scaling","status":"ready_for_review"}' ``` ## Dependencies Requires `pilot-protocol` skill, `pilotctl` binary, `clawhub` binary, and a running daemon.
