# OpenScientist Hypothesis Workflow
Use this skill for AIGR work that runs, stages, or maintains OpenScientist
hypothesis jobs for gene function review.
## Core Rules
- Treat OpenScientist as an independent bioinformatics scientist exploring a
hypothesis: gene `G` has function `F`.
- For existing annotations, prefer the neutral function-assignment mode:
`--as-function-hypothesis`.
- Do not feed existing local `*-bioinformatics/RESULTS.md` analyses into
OpenScientist prompts. Those are holdout evidence for post-run comparison.
- It is acceptable to pass bounded non-holdout review context, especially the
selected term, original evidence reference, and a small number of relevant
literature/deep-research references.
- Avoid sending every function for genes with large reviews; select the specific
hypothesis being tested.
## Running Jobs
- Use the `just` recipes, not raw `deep-research-client`, for AIGR hypothesis
jobs. The justfile carries project defaults such as OpenScientist iteration
count.
- Be patient with OpenScientist. Jobs may run quietly for a long time before the
local report is written.
- Do not interrupt a real OpenScientist run merely because the local wrapper is
silent or the child process is sleeping.
- Check completed and running jobs at <https://www.openscientist.io/jobs> before
deciding a job is stuck.
- One-iteration OpenScientist runs are smoke tests only. Real hypothesis jobs
should use the project default of at least 3 iterations
