autoresearch

autoresearch is a skill for Claude Code from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 24 tokens per session (780 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of autoresearch, MIT.

A repeatable improvement loop for one defined task, using an evaluator, saved experiment results, and decision logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run repeated experiments, evaluate each iteration, store results, and schedule future reruns for a single mission.
Why use it?
It keeps successive attempts measurable and records why each change was kept or rejected.

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 4d 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

<Use_When>

  • You already have a mission and evaluator from /deep-interview --autoresearch
  • You want persistent single-mission improvement with strict evaluation
  • You need durable experiment logs under .omc/autoresearch/
  • You want a supported path for periodic reruns via Claude Code native cron </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

  • You need evaluator generation at runtime — use /deep-interview --autoresearch first
  • You need multiple missions orchestrated together — v1 forbids that
  • You want the deprecated omc autoresearch CLI flow — it is no longer authoritative </Do_Not_Use_When>

<Required_Artifacts> Canonical persistent storage lives under .omc/autoresearch/<mission-slug>/ and/or .omc/logs/autoresearch/<run-id>/.

Minimum required artifacts:

  • mission spec
  • evaluator script or command reference
  • per-iteration evaluation JSON
  • markdown decision logs

Recommended canonical shape:

.omc/autoresearch/<mission-slug>/
  mission.md
  evaluator.json
  runs/<run-id>/
    evaluations/
      iteration-0001.json
      iteration-0002.json
    decision-log.md

Reuse existing runtime artifacts when available rather than duplicating them unnecessarily. </Required_Artifacts>

<Cron_Integration> Claude Code native cron is a supported integration point for periodic mission enhancement. In v1, prefer documenting/configuring cron inputs over building a large scheduler UI.

If cron is used:

  • keep one mission per scheduled job
  • preserve the same mission/evaluator contract
  • append new run artifacts rather than overwriting prior experiments </Cron_Integration>

<Execution_Policy>

  • Do not hand execution back to omc autoresearch
  • Do not create multi-mission orchestration
  • Prefer reusing src/autoresearch/* runtime/schema helpers where they already match the stricter contract
  • Keep logs useful to humans, not only machines </Execution_Policy>
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.
