Autoresearch — Autonomous Improvement Loop

Measure → Improve → Verify → Keep or Rollback → Repeat.

Unlike /ralph-loop (which runs blind), this loop is metric-gated: changes are committed only when the score improves. Regressions are automatically rolled back with git reset --hard.

Step 1 — Parse arguments and set defaults

METRIC="${METRIC:-all}"
TARGET_REDUCTION="${TARGET_REDUCTION:-5}"
MAX_ITERATIONS="${MAX_ITERATIONS:-10}"
ITERATION=1

# Parse $ARGUMENTS
while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do
  case "$1" in
    --metric)    METRIC="$2";            shift 2 ;;
    --target)    TARGET_REDUCTION="$2";  shift 2 ;;
    --max-iterations) MAX_ITERATIONS="$2"; shift 2 ;;
    *) shift ;;
  esac
done

echo ""
echo "🔬 Autoresearch loop starting"
echo "   Metric:         $METRIC"
echo "   Target/iter:    -$TARGET_REDUCTION issues per loop"
echo "   Max iterations: $MAX_ITERATIONS"
echo "   Stop:           /cancel-ralph  (shares the same cancel mechanism)"
echo ""

Step 2 — Measure baseline

Run the baseline metric measurement now. Choose based on $METRIC:

If $METRIC is flutter or all:

FLUTTER_WARNINGS=$(flutter analyze 2>&1 | grep -c "warning\|error\|hint" || echo 0)
FLUTTER_TODOS=$(grep -r "TODO\|FIXME\|HACK" lib/ --include="*.dart" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
echo "Flutter warnings: $FLUTTER_WARNINGS"
echo "Flutter TODOs: $FLUTTER_TODOS"

If $METRIC is nestjs or all:

NESTJS_ANY=$(grep -r ": any\b\|as any\b" src/ --include="*.ts" 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".spec.ts" | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
NESTJS_CONSOLE=$(grep -r "console\.log\|console\.warn\|console\.error" src/ --include="*.ts" 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".spec.ts" | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
NESTJS_TODOS=$(grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" src/ --include="*.ts" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
echo "NestJS 'any' types: $NESTJS_ANY"
echo "NestJS console.log: $NESTJS_CONSOLE"
echo "NestJS TODOs: $NESTJS_TODOS"

If $METRIC is angular or all:

ANGULAR_ANY=$(grep -r ": any\b\|as any\b" projects/ --include="*.ts" 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".spec.ts" | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
ANGULAR_CONSOLE=$(grep -r "console\.log\|console\.warn\|console\.error" projects/ --include="*.ts" 2>/dev/null | grep -v ".spec.ts" | wc -l | tr -d ' ' || echo 0)
echo "Angular 'any' types: $ANGULAR_ANY"
echo "Angular console.log: $ANGULAR_CONSOLE"
