Claude-scholar obsidian-experiment-log

Use this skill when the user discusses experiment design, ablations, training runs, evaluation, baselines, metrics, failures, or result interpretation that should be logged into Obsidian experiment and result notes.

Obsidian Experiment Log

Use this skill whenever project work changes the experimental state.

Role in the workflow

This is a supporting skill under

obsidian-project-memory

It should help maintain canonical experiment and result notes, not create note sprawl.

Default outputs

the relevant canonical note in
```
Experiments/
```
the relevant canonical note in
```
Results/
```
, if a durable finding exists
links from today's
```
Daily/
```
note
relevant hub or plan references only when project state materially changes

Main rules

Prefer updating an existing experiment note over creating a sibling note for the same experiment line.
Prefer updating an existing result note over creating a parallel result page for the same durable finding.
Raw logs, metric dumps, and temporary analysis fragments should usually stay in
```
Daily/
```
until they are interpreted.
A result note should exist only when the outcome is stable enough to reference later.

Minimum experiment sections

Goal / hypothesis
Code or config entrypoint
Dataset / split
Metrics
Status (
```
planned
```
,
```
running
```
,
```
done
```
,
```
failed
```
)
Findings / notes
Next step

Minimum result sections

Linked experiment
Main observation
Key numbers
Evidence
Interpretation
Decision: keep / iterate / discard

Linking rule

Link experiments and results directly to each other, and link both back to

00-Hub.md

01-Plan.md

, or

Daily/

only when those references improve the main working surface.

Research path handoff

Treat experiment notes as the bridge between

Papers/

and

Results/

paper-derived hypotheses, baselines, and ablations should land here,
stable findings should be promoted from here into
```
Results/
```
,
when a result becomes claim-worthy, update
```
Writing/
```
rather than leaving the chain unfinished.
