ai-paper-reproduction

Use when

• The user wants Codex to reproduce an AI paper repository.
• The target is a code repository with a README, scripts, configs, or documented commands.
• The goal is a minimal trustworthy run, not unlimited experimentation.
• The user needs standardized outputs that another human or model can audit quickly.
• The task spans more than one stage, such as intake plus setup, or setup plus execution plus reporting.

Do not use when

• The task is a general literature review or paper summary.
• The task is to design a new model, benchmark suite, or training pipeline from scratch.
• The repository is not centered on AI or does not expose a documented reproduction path.
• The user primarily wants a deep code refactor rather than README-first reproduction.
• The user is explicitly asking for only one narrow phase that a sub-skill already covers cleanly.
• The user is explicitly authorizing exploratory branch-only experimentation instead of trusted reproduction.
