Experiment Report

Use this skill to turn selected nn_cfd W&B runs into the project-standard experiment comparison report. The canonical template is the W&B report [DO NOT DELETE/EDIT] Template Experiment Comparison Report.

Workflow

1. Identify the baseline run first. If the user did not provide it, ask for the baseline run ID or run name before creating the report.
2. Identify the experiment run IDs. Prefer exact run IDs over names, groups, or regex searches.
3. Query W&B summaries and configs with the W&B SDK. Use bounded metric keys; do not scan broad histories unless the report needs a curve-specific claim.
4. Read references/template.md before making a report by hand. It records the report width, runset settings, panel positions, plot axis limits, media keys, and expected block order from the template.
5. Prefer scripts/create_experiment_report.py for consistency. It builds the report from run IDs, validates the summary metrics needed by the table, and recreates the template panel grid.
6. Always publish the report. Do not leave experiment reports as W&B drafts.
7. Name every report [YYYY-MM-DD] NAME, where the date is the report's first creation date. Preserve that date on later edits because the W&B Reports UI shows the last modified date, not the original creation date.

Report Command

Run from the repo root:

uv run python .agents/skills/experiment-report/scripts/create_experiment_report.py \
  --baseline_run_id a9300aedc8926440 \
  --experiment_run_ids 854f115d43294ece qz4xm8cq ch930ho8 \
  --title "cape domain residual variants"

Useful optional arguments:

• --human_result: fills the TL;DR block. If absent, keep the template's human placeholder.
• --hypothesis: fills the hypothesis block. If absent, keep the template placeholder.
• --core_changes: describes the tested changes in Experiment Setup.
• --pr_url: adds the PR link.
• --report_date: pins the [YYYY-MM-DD] prefix when recreating or updating a report whose first-created date is not today.
• --created_at_max: adds the template-style CreatedTimestamp runset cap when cloning a historical report snapshot. Prefer exact run IDs without this cap for normal reports.

Report Standards

• Use wandb_workspaces.reports.v2, not deprecated wandb.apis.reports.
• Use width="fluid" so reports render full-width. The report builder must force this width immediately before save/upsert and verify the saved report model spec still has width="fluid"; do not silently accept W&B's default readable width. Check Report.from_url(url, as_model=True).spec.width because the hydrated Report object can fall back to its local default.
• Use report.save(draft=False); this project does not keep hanging draft experiment reports.
• Use report titles of the form [YYYY-MM-DD] NAME. The script will add today's date if --title omits the bracketed prefix.
• Filter the runset by exact run ID with expr.Metric("name").isin(run_ids). The W&B UI may display this as Metric("ID"), but the structured expression should use lowercase name.
• Sort by CreatedTimestamp ascending.
• Hide the run:name column.
• Set RunSettings(disabled=True) for the baseline by default, matching the template's plot behavior, while still keeping the baseline in the markdown results table.
• Use wr.MarkdownBlock for tables and markdown headings. Do not put markdown tables inside wr.P.
• In Experiment Setup, render Input features and Targets as separate YAML blocks. Never bury target fields inside an input/features block or say that targets are "included above."
• Keep the Results table to two decimal places and include run links, run IDs, and validation-set labels.
• In the Results table, every run name must be a plain markdown link to its W&B run URL. Escape square brackets in run names before using them as link labels, and do not rely on unlabeled IDs or placeholder text.
• State missing evidence plainly. Do not invent PR links, hypotheses, or human final verdicts.
