Command Reference

Turing provides 74 commands organized into 16 categories, covering the full lifecycle of autonomous ML research: scaffolding, training, analysis, statistical validation, reporting, and production export.

Essential Commands

If you read nothing else, learn these three:

Command What it does
/turing:init Scaffold a new ML project with the autoresearch harness
/turing:train Run the autonomous experiment loop until convergence
/turing:brief Generate a 2-minute intelligence briefing on experiment progress

Command Anatomy

Every Turing command follows a consistent pattern:

/turing:<command> [positional args] [--flags]
  • Positional arguments are typically project paths (ml/sentiment) or experiment IDs (exp-042).
  • Flags modify behavior (--auto, --deep, --format latex).
  • All commands auto-detect the project directory from config.yaml if not specified.
  • Read-only commands (status, compare, brief) never modify code or data.
