simmer-autoresearch

simmer-autoresearch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SpartanLabsXyz/simmer-sdk. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,337 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An autonomous experiment loop for improving Simmer trading skills by changing code or settings, measuring results, and keeping or reverting each attempt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to optimize a trading skill, run backtests on historical trades, or compare live experiment results using measures such as profit and loss.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to test trading changes against a baseline instead of relying on guesswork.

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

simmer-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 11d 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.

Simmer Autoresearch

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

Based on pi-autoresearch (MIT).

Tools

  • init_experiment — configure session (name, skill_slug, metric, unit, direction). Call again to re-initialize with a new baseline.
  • run_experiment — runs skill command, times it, captures output.
  • log_experiment — records result. Use keep ONLY when the primary metric improved vs the baseline. discard if worse or unchanged. Zero trades or metric=0 is no-signal — discard, never keep. crash if the skill failed. checks_failed if post-run validation failed. keep auto-commits via git; the others auto-revert. Always include secondary metrics dict. State the before→after comparison in description (e.g., "entry_threshold 0.05→0.03; $12→$18 pnl, keep"). Optionally include asi (Actionable Side Information) for structured diagnostics.
  • backtest_experiment — replay historical trades against new config without live execution. Fast config tuning (seconds vs hours). Requires trades with signal_data (SDK 0.9.17+).

Setup

  1. Pick a skill to optimize and a primary metric (usually P&L).
  2. git checkout -b autoresearch/<skill>-<date>
  3. Read the skill source code thoroughly — understand what it does before mutating.
  4. Write autoresearch.md — session spec with goal, metrics, how to run, constraints.
  5. Write autoresearch.sh — single command that runs the skill and outputs results.
  6. Commit both files.
  7. init_experiment → run baseline with run_experimentlog_experiment → start looping.

autoresearch.md template

# Autoresearch: <goal>

## Objective
<What we're optimizing and the workload.>

## Metrics
- **Primary**: <name> (<unit>, lower/higher is better)
- **Secondary**: <name>, <name>, ...

## How to Run
`./autoresearch.sh` — runs the skill for one cycle.

## Constraints
- Only modify files in <skill directory>
- Do not change SDK core code
- Sim venue only (no real money)

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.

simmer-autoresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository SpartanLabsXyz/simmer-sdk (48 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,337 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.
