Repo Intake And Plan

Takes a fresh repo and does the boring first pass: reads the README, scans for setup scripts and documented commands, then categorizes what looks like inference versus training versus evaluation workflows. Outputs a structured plan with the safest reproduction path forward. Saves you from manually parsing through project files to figure out where to start, especially when you're dealing with academic ML repos that have scattered documentation. The classification tends to be conservative, which is good since it's meant to feed into an orchestrator that makes the actual execution decisions.

Files

repo-intake-and-plan

Use this as the Rigor Intake helper. The installed slug remains repo-intake-and-plan for compatibility.

When to apply

At the beginning of README-first reproduction work.
When the main skill needs a fast map of repo structure and documented commands.
When inference, evaluation, and training candidates must be classified conservatively.
When the user explicitly wants to inspect the repo first and not run anything yet.

When not to apply

When execution has already started and the task is now about running commands or writing outputs.
When the target is not a repository-backed reproduction task.
When the user only wants paper interpretation without repo inspection.
When the user already has a selected documented command and only needs setup or execution.
