Frequently asked questions
- How do I install slfg?
- Run
npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill slfg. The install tabs above show the steps for each supported agent. - Which AI agents does slfg work with?
- It is written for Universal, as a SKILL.md file. Other agents that read the same format can often use it too.
- Is slfg safe to use?
- It declares no license and scores 88/100 on trust signals. Skills are instructions an agent will follow, so read the file before installing it and do not approve commands you do not understand.
- Is slfg still maintained?
- The repository was last updated 3 days ago, so slfg is actively maintained.
Skill content
View source on GitHubname: slfg description: Full autonomous research workflow using swarm mode for parallel execution argument-hint: "[research task, estimation problem, or methodological improvement]" disable-model-invocation: true
Swarm-enabled LFG. Run these steps in order, parallelizing where indicated. Do not stop between steps — complete every step through to the end.
Sequential Phase
-
/workflows:brainstorm $ARGUMENTSGate: must produce a file indocs/brainstorms/before proceeding. -
/workflows:planGate: must produce a file indocs/plans/before proceeding. -
/workflows:work— Use swarm mode: Break the plan into independent tasks and launch parallel subagents via Task tool to build them concurrently. Each subagent handles one task from the plan. Seereferences/orchestration-patterns.mdfor parallel dispatch patterns. Gate: must produce at least one code change (committed or staged) before proceeding. If work fails with no changes, stop and report the failure.
Parallel Phase
After work completes, launch steps 4 and 5 as parallel swarm agents (both only need completed code to operate):
/workflows:review— spawn as background Task agent/workflows:compound— spawn as background Task agent
Wait for both to complete before finishing.
Output
When all steps are done, output:
Research workflow complete.
Brainstorm: [brainstorm file path]
Plan: [plan file path]
Work: [summary of implementation]
Review: [summary of findings]
Documentation: [docs/solutions/ path if created]
