Plan research compute
Skill ProfesseurHaipeng/ai-research-preflight/skills/plan-research-compute
Turn a sanitized computational-research question, governed dataset manifest, abstract DAG, pinned tools, and bounded resource requests into a deterministic provider-neutral preflight report. Use when planning reproducible biological or scientific batch computation before execution, checking data governance and locality, validating resource envelopes, or preparing a non-submittable CWL/GA4GH WES handoff. Never use it to read raw data, design formulations or wet-lab procedures, launch cloud jobs, or claim scientific conclusions.From its SKILL.md

Plan Research Compute
Create a reviewable compute preflight without accessing data bytes or executing work.
Workflow
- Keep the request computational. Refuse formulation, wet-lab, clinical-decision, or high-risk dual-use work.
- Sanitize the request into the JSON shape in references/input-contract.md. Include metadata and logical URIs only; never include credentials, participant identifiers, or raw observations.
- Represent every step as an abstract operation. Do not write shell commands or executable workflow bodies.
- Pin every bound tool to an exact version, versioned TRS URI, and container digest. Leave an uncertain step unbound instead of inventing a tool.
- Provide low/high CPU, memory, temporary-storage, output-storage, and wall-time bounds. Mark unsupported estimates
unbenchmarked. - Resolve
SKILL_DIRto the directory containing thisSKILL.md, then run the deterministic preflight:
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/research_compute_plan.py" manifest.json --format text
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/research_compute_plan.py" manifest.json --format json
- Interpret status and exit behavior using references/report-contract.md. Resolve every error before handoff and review every warning.
- Preserve the no-launch boundary. The report may describe a future CWL v1.2 / GA4GH WES handoff, but it must keep submission disabled and contain no endpoint, credentials, or cloud job identifier.
Non-negotiable boundaries
- Read only the supplied JSON manifest. Do not open dataset URIs or local data paths.
- Stay offline. Do not call network services, cloud SDKs, workflow engines, or subprocesses.
- Do not produce formulations, wet-lab instructions, medical decisions, or scientific conclusions.
- Treat human, controlled, and private data as governed. Require authorization, institutional approval, a reviewer role, retention policy, and compatible compute region.
- Treat resource figures as planning bounds, not a performance guarantee, quote, or feasibility result.
- Require scientific-domain, compute-budget, and applicable data-governance review before any separate execution system is considered.
