GOAL
Understand what figures exist in a research project's figures directory and read the Python scripts that generate them, to document what data they plot and how.
- +0Prompt · +0Explore the figures/ directory: list what images exist, what Python scripts generate them, and read those scripts to understand the data and plotting approach.
- +0mAgent did · +0mListed the figures directory contents, finding image files (JPGs) and their generation scripts.
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead through the plotting scripts (ring pipeline, latency comparison, throughput scaling, memory comparison) to understand data and chart construction.
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead remaining iteration/exec variants of the latency and memory comparison scripts to capture differences across iterations.
- +0mOutcome · +0mProduced a comprehensive summary covering 6 figure images and their generation scripts, documenting the data and plotting approach for each.
VERDICT
This was a straightforward read-through task, so next time I'd just ask for the summary directly since no corrections were needed. The agent worked through all the scripts methodically and produced a clean inventory of figures and their generation logic without any missteps.
