env-and-assets-bootstrap

lllllllama/rigorpilot-skills

Prepare conda environments and asset paths for README-documented deep learning repo reproduction.

What is env-and-assets-bootstrap?

This skill sets up conservative conda-first environments and asset path assumptions for deep learning repository reproduction. Use it after identifying a credible reproduction target to prepare environment creation, checkpoint/dataset paths, and cache location hints before running any commands.

  • Generate conservative conda environment setup notes tied to repo README
  • Produce candidate conda commands for environment creation
  • Plan asset paths for checkpoints, datasets, and cache directories
  • Identify checkpoint and dataset source hints from repo documentation
  • Flag unresolved dependency or asset risks before execution

  • Identified reproduction goal or experiment name
  • Knowledge of OS and any package constraints

How to use env-and-assets-bootstrap

  1. 1.Provide the target repo path and selected reproduction goal
  2. 2.Share relevant README setup steps and known constraints
  3. 3.Run the skill to generate environment setup notes and conda commands
  4. 4.Review the asset path plan and checkpoint/dataset source hints
  5. 5.Address any flagged dependency or asset risks before proceeding to execution

Use cases

Good for
  • Preparing a conda environment for a deep learning paper reproduction before first run
  • Planning dataset and checkpoint directory structure for a multi-stage training pipeline
  • Identifying missing dependencies or asset sources from README before attempting setup
  • Creating environment assumptions for a repo that requires specific Python/CUDA versions
  • Documenting asset paths and cache locations before handing off to execution
Who it's for
  • ML researchers reproducing published deep learning work
  • Engineers setting up training environments from README-documented repos
  • Teams preparing reproducible setups before distributed runs
  • Anyone translating repo setup instructions into executable environment plans

env-and-assets-bootstrap FAQ

Should I use this for generic conda questions?

No. This skill is specific to README-documented repo reproduction. Use it only when preparing a concrete target repository for setup.

Does this skill select which repo to reproduce?

No. Target selection happens before this skill. This skill only prepares the environment and assets once a target is chosen.

Will this skill run commands or execute setup?

No. It generates conservative setup notes and candidate commands for you to review and execute.

What if the repo has no README setup instructions?

The skill will flag this as a risk and may forward gaps to an optional paper resolver, but conservative setup planning requires documented guidance.

Does this handle Windows environments?

The skill is POSIX-first (conda + bash). Windows support depends on repo-specific constraints and may require manual translation.

name: env-and-assets-bootstrap description: Rigor Setup skill for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use when the task is specifically to prepare a conservative conda-first environment, checkpoint and dataset path assumptions, cache location hints, and setup notes before any run on a README-documented repository. Do not use for repo scanning, full orchestration, paper interpretation, final run reporting, or generic environment setup that is not tied to a specific reproduction target.

env-and-assets-bootstrap

Use this as the Rigor Setup skill. The installed slug remains env-and-assets-bootstrap for compatibility.

Use the shared operating principles in ../../references/agent-operating-principles.md; this skill should keep setup planning conservative while leaving environment-specific judgment to the model.

When to apply

  • After repo intake identifies a credible reproduction target.
  • When environment creation or asset path preparation is needed before running commands.
  • When the repo depends on checkpoints, datasets, or cache directories.
  • When the user explicitly wants setup help before any run attempt.

When not to apply

  • When the repository already ships a ready-to-run environment that does not need translation.
  • When the task is only to scan and plan.
  • When the task is only to report results from commands that already ran.
  • When the request is a generic conda or package-management question outside repo reproduction.

Clear boundaries

  • This skill prepares environment and asset assumptions.
  • It does not own target selection.
  • It does not own final reporting.
  • It does not perform paper lookup except by forwarding gaps to the optional paper resolver.

Input expectations

  • target repo path
  • selected reproduction goal
  • relevant README setup steps
  • any known OS or package constraints

Output expectations

  • conservative environment setup notes
  • candidate conda commands
  • asset path plan
  • checkpoint and dataset source hints
  • unresolved dependency or asset risks

Notes

Use references/env-policy.md, references/assets-policy.md, scripts/bootstrap_env.py, scripts/plan_setup.py, and scripts/prepare_assets.py. Use scripts/bootstrap_env.sh only as a POSIX wrapper around the Python bootstrapper when a shell entrypoint is more convenient.
