Did anyone get this code to run and generate a new manuscript on a "self"seeded topic?

Did anyone get this code to run and generate a new manuscript on a user-seeded topic?

Is it enough to give it some ideas? And if yes how to do it?
Will it based on that generate the experiment.py and other files? Or do we need to specify the experiment.py and other files for each idea ourselves? A lot of things are not clear to me.

The readme states
_## Making your own Template

If there is an area of study you would like The AI Scientist to explore, it should be very easy to create your own templates. In general, follow the structure of the existing templates, which consists of:

experiment.py -- This is a single file where the 'meat' of the content is. It takes in an argument for out_dir, which is where it should create the folder and save the relevant information from the run.
plot.py -- This should take in the information from the run folders and create plots. The code should be clear and easy to edit.
prompt.json -- Put information about your template here.
seed_ideas.json -- Put example ideas here. You can also try to generate ideas without any examples, and then pick the best one or two to put here.
latex/template.tex -- We recommend using our latex folder, but be sure to replace the pre-loaded citations with ones that you would expect to be more relevant.

But this seems to require that we not only put example ideas, but for each example ideas, also need to prepare the experiment.py, the plot.py prompt.py. Is this really true, or am i misunderstanding something?

Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same idea as well! Can't believe I wrote the idea elsewhere, and also it might be possible to get another agentic tool to do this kind of leg-work (e.g. OpenHands/Kevin) #141 (comment) SmartManoj/Kevin#136 (comment)
