autoresearch-create

autoresearch-create is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ethanolivertroy/my-agent-stuff. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,881 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of autoresearch-create, MIT.

A skill for setting up and running an autonomous optimisation loop: repeatedly try changes, measure a chosen result, keep improvements, and undo unsuccessful attempts. It records experiments and can automatically commit or revert changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimise a program or workflow by defining a goal, command, metric, files, and constraints, then running and logging successive experiments.
Why use it?
It turns repeated trial-and-measure work into a documented process, so improvements are retained and failed experiments do not leave unwanted code changes behind.

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-create 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 145 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autoresearch

Autonomous experiment loop: try ideas, keep what works, discard what doesn't, never stop.

Tools

  • init_experiment — configure session (name, metric, unit, direction). Call again to re-initialize with a new baseline when the optimization target changes.
  • run_experiment — runs command, times it, captures output.
  • log_experiment — records result. keep auto-commits. discard/crash/checks_failed auto-reverts code changes (autoresearch files preserved). Always include secondary metrics dict. Dashboard: ctrl+shift+t.

Setup

  1. Ask (or infer): Goal, Command, Metric (+ direction), Files in scope, Constraints.
  2. git checkout -b autoresearch/<goal>-<date>
  3. Read the source files. Understand the workload deeply before writing anything.
  4. Write autoresearch.md and autoresearch.sh (see below). Commit both.
  5. init_experiment → run baseline → log_experiment → start looping immediately.

autoresearch.md

This is the heart of the session. A fresh agent with no context should be able to read this file and run the loop effectively. Invest time making it excellent.

# Autoresearch: <goal>

## Objective
<Specific description of what we're optimizing and the workload.>

## Metrics
- **Primary**: <name> (<unit>, lower/higher is better) — the optimization target
- **Secondary**: <name>, <name>, ... — independent tradeoff monitors

## How to Run
`./autoresearch.sh` — outputs `METRIC name=number` lines.

## Files in Scope
<Every file the agent may modify, with a brief note on what it does.>

## Off Limits
<What must NOT be touched.>

## Constraints
<Hard rules: tests must pass, no new deps, etc.>

## What's Been Tried
<Update this section as experiments accumulate. Note key wins, dead ends,
and architectural insights so the agent doesn't repeat failed approaches.>

Update autoresearch.md periodically — especially the "What's Been Tried" section — so resuming agents have full context.

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.
