Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.01193 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00596 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00239 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
lab: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 12d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Autoresearch — Plugin Skill Self-Improvement
Iteratively improve plugin skills via the autoresearch pattern: propose one mutation -> eval -> keep/revert -> repeat.
Usage
/lab:autoresearch # Targeted: attack weakest skill+dimension
/lab:autoresearch --skill review # Focus on one skill
/lab:autoresearch --strategy sweep # Process all skills alphabetically
/lab:autoresearch --dry-run # Show what would change, don't commit
For overnight runs:
/loop 5m /lab:autoresearch --strategy sweep --max-iterations 200
Iron Laws
- ONE mutation per iteration — if description needs "and", split into two
- NEVER mutate read-only files — check program.md before every write
- EVAL is deterministic — always use the wrapper script, never LLM-judge
- REVERT on regression OR checks failure — no exceptions
- LOG every iteration — use
keeporrevertcommand (never skip) - CHECK ideas.md before proposing — don't rediscover known optimizations
Wrapper Script Commands
All eval/git/journal operations go through ONE script. Do NOT run these manually.
# Find the weakest skill+dimension
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py target --strategy targeted
# Score a skill (before mutation, to get baseline)
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py score <skill-name>
# After mutation: score + checks + compare → verdict (KEEP or REVERT)
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py eval <skill-name>
# Act on verdict:
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py keep <skill> <dim> <old> <new> \
--desc "what changed" --asi '{"hypothesis": "why", "mechanism": "how"}'
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py revert <skill> <dim> <old> <new> \
--desc "what was attempted" --asi '{"hypothesis": "why", "regression": "what broke", "avoid": "do not retry this"}'
# Check overall progress
python3 lab/autoresearch/scripts/run-iteration.py status

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.

lab:autoresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix (544 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,193 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

cige-test-authoring
Use when authoring, reviewing, or refactoring an agentic AI test case. Enforces the CIGE format (Context, Intent, Guardrails, Execution) that separates stable intent from adaptive, self-healing execution.
cige-failure-classification
Use immediately after any CIGE test run completes, pass or fail, before any repair. Classifies the outcome (infrastructure failure, outdated test logic, product defect, or false positive) and names which self-healing skill, if any, is allowed to act.
cige-product-defect-escalation
Use when cige-failure-classification identifies a Product Defect -- execution reached a healthy system with current steps, but the outcome contradicts Intent. Fetches specRef and buildRef to file a defect or, only with human approval, propose an Intent update.
cige-stale-execution-repair
Use when cige-failure-classification identifies Outdated Test Logic (repair Execution steps, Mode A) or a confirmed False Positive (add a stricter Guardrail, Mode B). Human approval required before committing either kind of repair.
cige-environment-recovery
Use when a CIGE test run is classified as an Infrastructure Failure (auth error, unreachable service, missing seed data, unbootstrapped environment). Restores the environment; never modifies the test definition.
