Install
Skills CLI
npx skills add fcakyon/phd-skills
Asks which skills and agents to install. Just one: npx skills add fcakyon/phd-skills --skill compare — add -g for every project.
Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/fcakyon/phd-skillscp -r "phd-skills/plugin/skills/compare" ~/.claude/skills/
Copies the compare skill into ~/.claude/skills/ for every project (use .claude/skills/ for one project). Repeat for the other skills listed below.
Plugin
/plugin marketplace add fcakyon/phd-skills
Run inside Claude Code if the repository ships a plugin marketplace, then pick plugins from /plugin.
Skills can run code on your machine — read the SKILL.md first.
What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
compare
Same-epoch comparison of training runs across wandb, neptune, tensorboard, or mlflow. Aligns runs at the student's current step (never current-vs-final-of-baseline) and separates proxy metrics from downstream targets. Use when the user asks to compare runs, check if a run is improving, track lag against a baseline, rank experiments, or evaluate run-vs-run performance.

dataset-curation
Use when the user wants to analyze dataset bias, create stratified samples, evaluate fairness, or plan dataset collection. Triggers on phrases like "dataset bias", "stratified sample", "class imbalance", "data distribution", "fairness analysis", or "ethical review".
plugin/skills/dataset-curation/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
debug
Evidence-before-action diagnosis of failing ML experiments. Probes the system before guessing causes, process list, dmesg, GPU stats, log scrollback, checkpoint state, then states a hypothesis as a hypothesis and runs a smoke before claiming a root cause. Use when the user asks why a run is failing, diverging, OOMing, hanging, slow, producing weird metrics, has crashed, or asks to debug, diagnose…
plugin/skills/debug/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
experiment-design
Use when the user wants to design experiments, plan ablation studies, structure baselines, or create incremental evaluation strategies. Triggers on phrases like "design ablation", "plan experiment", "what experiments should I run", "baseline comparison", or "experiment matrix".
plugin/skills/experiment-design/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
latex-setup
Use when the user wants to set up or troubleshoot a LaTeX environment, choose between biber and bibtex, install packages for a specific venue template, or configure compilation. Triggers on phrases like "setup latex", "biber vs bibtex", "latex compilation error", "install latex packages", "venue template", or "texlive setup".
plugin/skills/latex-setup/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
launch
Pre-flight checklist for long-running ML training jobs covering config diff, run naming, path verification, monitoring setup, and restart-cleanup. Use when the user asks to launch, kick off, start, restart, or kill a training run, or mentions launching a multi-hour or multi-day GPU job (python train, accelerate launch, torchrun, deepspeed, sbatch, tmux training).
plugin/skills/launch/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
literature-research
Use when the user wants to find related work, survey a research area, identify literature gaps, or discover open-source implementations. Triggers on phrases like "find papers on", "related work", "literature review", "what papers exist", "open source implementation", or "papers with code".
plugin/skills/literature-research/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-verification
Use when the user wants to verify paper claims against code or data, audit numerical accuracy, check formula-code alignment, or validate citation accuracy. Triggers on phrases like "verify claims", "check numbers", "do the numbers match", "formula vs code", "audit the paper", or "cross-check results".
plugin/skills/paper-verification/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
paper-writing
Use when the user wants to write, structure, or revise academic paper sections, improve notation consistency, or refine figures and tables. Triggers on phrases like "write the abstract", "structure the methods", "improve this section", "notation consistency", "figure refinement", or "paper structure".
plugin/skills/paper-writing/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
reproduce
End-to-end paper reproduction from arxiv URL through smoke runs to replication experiments. Handles missing or partial official code, missing training scripts, missing hyperparameters, and private datasets via similar-public-dataset substitution. Use when the user asks to reproduce, implement, replicate, or re-run a paper from scratch, or pastes an arxiv URL with reproduction intent.
plugin/skills/reproduce/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
research-publishing
Use when the user wants to prepare code for open-source release, create reproducible research artifacts, or structure a repository for publication. Triggers on phrases like "publish code", "open source release", "reproducibility", "research repository", "code release", or "prepare for publication".
plugin/skills/research-publishing/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
reviewer-defense
Use when the user wants to anticipate reviewer questions, select the strongest ablations to present, prepare rebuttals, or identify paper weaknesses before submission. Triggers on phrases like "reviewer questions", "anticipate reviewers", "rebuttal", "paper weaknesses", "defend the paper", or "strengthen the paper".

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
