autoresearch

autoresearch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A content-optimization workflow that creates many versions of conversion-focused writing and scores them with five simulated expert reviewers. Conversion-focused content is writing intended to encourage actions such as signing up or buying.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve landing pages, email sequences, advertisements, headlines, forms and calls to action. Its simulated scores do not replace testing with real visitors after launch.
Why use it?
It helps choose and refine pre-launch content without needing real website traffic, while keeping the variants, scores and reasoning in an experiment record.

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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (autoresearch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autoresearch Skill

Karpathy-style optimization loops for any conversion-focused content. No traffic needed. Simulated expert panel. Minutes, not weeks.

When to use this: Pre-launch content optimization. Generate 50+ variants, score with 5 simulated experts, evolve winners, output the best version + full experiment log.

When NOT to use this: Post-launch real-traffic A/B testing — that requires real analytics, not simulated scoring.

The sequence: Run autoresearch FIRST to hit 85+ simulated score. Then deploy. Then validate with real traffic.


What You'll Produce

Every run outputs 3 files:

File Purpose
{name}-optimized.{ext} The winning optimized content
data/{name}-experiments.json Full experiment log — all variants + all scores
data/{name}-optimization-report.md Human-readable summary with winner rationale

Expert Panel (5 Personas)

Score every variant against all 5. Batch all variants into a single API call per round.

# Persona Scoring Lens
1 CMO at a mid-market B2B company (50M+ revenue) "Would this make me stop and engage?"
2 Skeptical founder "Do I believe this? Would I trust this company?"
3 Conversion rate optimizer "Is this clear, specific, and action-driving?"
4 Senior copywriter "Is this compelling, differentiated, and well-crafted?"
5 Your CEO/founder "Direct, ROI-obsessed, no BS. Would I put this on my site?"

Customization: Replace persona #5 with your own CEO/founder voice. Define their priorities and communication style in a references/founder-voice.md file.

Each judge scores 0–100. Final score = average across all 5 judges.


Round Structure (Per Content Element)

Round 1:
  → Generate 10 variants of the element
  → Batch-score all 10 with the 5-expert panel (1 API call)
  → Rank by average score
  → Keep top 3

Round 2 (Evolution):
  → Analyze what the top 3 did right
  → Generate 10 new variants that push those winning patterns further
  → Batch-score all 10 (1 API call)
  → Keep top 3

Round 3 (If score < threshold):
  → Identify weakest scoring dimension
  → Generate 10 variants optimized for that dimension
  → Batch-score → keep top 1

Multi-element cross-breeding:
  → Take top 1 winner from each element
  → Generate 5 combinations that mix winning elements
  → Score holistically as complete units
  → Output the single best combination

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
