autoresearch

autoresearch is a skill for Claude Code from houshuang/awesome-claude-code. It costs 120 tokens per session (3,006 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for running repeated experiments to improve algorithms, settings, or prompts. It supports systematic parameter searches and a mode where a language model proposes changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parameter tuning, prompt optimization, ablation studies, and testing alternative algorithm changes.
Why use it?
It removes much of the manual trial and comparison involved in finding settings or prompt changes that perform better.

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 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.

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.
