Analyze the active experiment (e.g. the latest or specified one in experiments/) and recent numbered experiments.
What to Extract
For each experiment (especially the one the user is working on), extract:
- •Purpose: Parse README.md for the experiment goal and hypothesis
- •Parameters: List key parameters that were varied (from config.yaml or code)
- •Results: Find result files, parse for key metrics
- •Figures: Identify generated figures and their meaning
- •Insights: Look for comments or notes about interesting findings
- •Status: Determine if complete, in-progress, or blocked
Analysis Steps
bash
# Find active / latest experiment (e.g. highest NNN in experiments/) cd experiments/<NNN-name> cat README.md # Get objectives # Check for results ls -lt results/figures/ # Recent figures ls -lt results/data/ # Recent data files # Check recent experiments (last 2 weeks) find experiments/ -name "README.md" -mtime -14

## Experiment Summaries ### Active: [Experiment Name] - **Number**: [NNN] - **Started**: [Date from git] - **Status**: 🔄 In Progress | ✅ Complete | ⚠️ Blocked - **Objective**: [From README.md] - **Key Parameters**: - param1: value - param2: value - **Results So Far**: - [Key finding 1] - [Key finding 2] - **Figures Generated**: - `results/figures/plot1.png` - [description] - **Next Steps**: [What remains to be done] - **Blockers**: [Any issues preventing progress] ### Recent Completed: [Experiment Name] - **Number**: [NNN] - **Completed**: [Date] - **Objective**: [Brief] - **Key Results**: - [Main finding] - **Link**: experiments/[NNN-name]/
Integration with Meeting Prep
This output is designed to be incorporated into the "Progress Since Last Meeting" section of meeting prep documents. Focus on experiments with activity in the last 2 weeks.
Quality Checks
- • All experiments from last 2 weeks included
- • Current experiment status is accurate
- • Results are interpreted, not just listed
- • Figures are described meaningfully
- • Blockers are clearly identified
