Computational Experiments

Lifecycle skill for algorithmic research projects where the code IS the scientific contribution.

Modes

Mode	What it does	Phases
Scaffold	Create/audit package structure + algorithm skeleton	1–2
Experiment	Design and run pre-specified sweep campaigns	1, 3–4
Explore	Adaptive experiment loop: modify → run → evaluate → keep/discard	1, 3E–4
Autonomous	Parallel self-correcting sweep with sub-agents	1, 3A–4
Figures	Generate publication output from results	1, 4
Full	Complete pipeline	1–5
