Contacting the Supervisor
When you need human input, hit a blocker, or have significant findings to report, send a notification via ntfy.sh.
How to Notify
bash
curl -s -d "Your message here" "ntfy.sh/$CLAB_NTFY_TOPIC"
The CLAB_NTFY_TOPIC environment variable must be set. If it's not configured, ask the user to set it.
When to Notify
- •Blockers: Something prevents progress and you need guidance
- •Decision points: Multiple valid approaches, need human judgment
- •Significant findings: Results that warrant immediate attention
- •Completion: Major milestones or experiment completion
Message Format
Keep messages concise but informative:
- •State what happened or what you need
- •Include relevant context (experiment name, file path)
- •Suggest next steps if applicable
Example:
bash
curl -s -d "exp003 complete: Found 3 attention heads with consistent activation patterns. Ready for colleague review." "ntfy.sh/$CLAB_NTFY_TOPIC"
