autoresearch-workflow

autoresearch-workflow is a skill for Codex from WdBlink/autoresearch-paper. It costs 44 tokens per session (724 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing step for an automated research workflow. It reads a small handoff describing the current state and selects the next stage without doing the research or changing project files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to direct work to research discovery, experiment design, evaluation, evidence checking, monitoring, or paper preparation based on the supplied status and artifacts.
Why use it?
It prevents workflow stages from being skipped or run in the wrong order. It also provides a consistent way to handle missing inputs, requests for confirmation, and finished states.

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-workflow 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core contract

Act only as a thin router. Accept either an explicit entry request or one four-field compact handoff, select the first matching state in the canonical route matrix, emit exactly one four-field handoff, and stop. Never inspect repository internals, load another skill, create domain artifacts, or perform research work.

Input

The input handoff has next_skill, reason, input_artifact, and resume_artifact. Its reason begins status=<canonical-token>;. For direct entry, use only the artifacts, status, and human confirmation explicitly stated; treat a referenced-but-missing required input as missing rather than inferring a different lifecycle state.

Read artifact handoffs to obtain the ordered route matrix. Negative, refusal, confirmation, evaluator-return, and terminal rows precede artifact-presence fallthrough. Select the first matching row.

Routing

The only domain destinations are autoresearch-discovery, karpathy-autoresearch-adapter, autoresearch-evaluator-engineering, autoresearch-radar, autoresearch-experiment, autoresearch-evidence, and autoresearch-paper. Use literal none for a terminal outcome, confirmation-pending state, refused package, or any other canonical no-route row. Do not route back to Discovery after a Research Brief exists.

Adapter's repository-not-runnable and baseline-failed outcomes are terminal, use next_skill: none, and precede the Research-Brief fallback. Experiment evaluator failure routes the bound autoresearch/evaluator-invalid-return.md to Adapter, never the stale contract.

Evaluator construction is a conditional operational detour: Adapter sends a partial or missing evaluator to Evaluator Engineering; an Evaluator Package returns to Adapter. An evaluator integrity/readiness problem found by Experiment also returns to Adapter. Neither path is a scientific return loop.

Research Radar is a conditional operational sidecar, never a lifecycle stage. Route an explicit research-radar-refresh-requested to it using only the Adapter-issued autoresearch/research-watch-profile.yaml. Its complete, sync-failed, cycle-failed, and commit-indeterminate outcomes all route to none; the external scheduler or a later explicit request owns any future scan. An indeterminate commit must be inspected before another refresh is requested.

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.
