autoresearch is a command for Claude Code from ehmo/autoresearch-skill. It costs 17 tokens per session (133 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for autonomous codebase improvement using independent teams to investigate focused goals, broad ideas, or general quality issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a narrow measurable improvement, several alternative investigations, a general code-quality sweep, or resuming a previous session.
Why use it?
It helps explore and carry out improvement work without requiring every possible change to be planned manually in advance.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

autoresearch scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Autonomous codebase improvement. Run the autoresearch skill with: $ARGUMENTS

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
