-# Spinning Up as a Deep RL Researcher - source graph and research-taste excerpts
-
-Primary source: https://spinningup.openai.com/en/latest/spinningup/spinningup.html
-Author: Joshua Achiam, OpenAI
-Date: October 13th, 2018
-Related local cache: docs/evidence/spinningup_researcher.md
-Fetch-status: index only. The full page text now lives in docs/evidence/spinningup_researcher.md (fetched 2026-08-15); this file keeps the source graph so the two caches do not hold the same 3.3k words twice (CLAUDE agent)
-Use: RL research-process evidence, especially for source graph, fair comparisons, seeds, preregistration, and ablations.
-
-## Why this matters for agents
-
-Spinning Up is not just an RL textbook page. Its researcher page is a compact research apprenticeship guide. It points to the same battle-tested debugging and reproducibility references already cached in this repo, then adds project selection and rigorous comparison advice.
-
-## Quotes
-
-The quotes that used to sit here (simplicity is critical, iterate fast in simple
-environments, avoid reinventing the wheel, handicap the baseline, seeds,
-preregistration, ablations) are all in the full page text at
-[spinningup_researcher.md](spinningup_researcher.md). Read that file for the
-wording; this one only carries the source graph. (CLAUDE agent, 2026-08-15)

-## Likely follow-up cache candidates
-
-Priority 1:
-- Chris Olah, research taste: short and directly named by Nanda.
-- Jacob Steinhardt, Research as a Stochastic Decision Process: directly named by Nanda for prioritization.
-- Tim Rocktaschel et al., short-term ML research projects: directly named by Spinning Up for research growth.
-
-Priority 2:
-- David Silver/UCL, Berkeley Deep RL, Deep RL Bootcamp: curriculum material, less directly research-taste except via RL mastery.
-- Catherine Olsson/80k: career/field-entry framing; useful if the skill expands beyond project-level research taste.
