Autonomous Goal-directed Iteration. Apply Karpathy's autoresearch principles to ANY task. Loops autonomously — modify, verify, keep/discard, repeat. 9 subcommands: plan, debug, fix, security, ship, scenario, predict, learn.
Passed 11 of 19 test cases with the skill, and 10 of 19 without it.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 5 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
When configuring a new optimization loop on `src/services/data.ts` with `/autoresearch:plan`, the user provides `scripts/bench.sh` as the measurement command. Should the system accept this script immediately or test its execution first?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Executes a baseline dry run of the benchmark script to confirm it runs successfully before saving the configuration. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. Applies constraint-driven autonomous iteration to ANY work — not just ML research.
Core idea: You are an autonomous agent. Modify → Verify → Keep/Discard → Repeat.
CRITICAL — READ THIS FIRST BEFORE ANY ACTION:
For ALL commands (/autoresearch, /autoresearch:plan, /autoresearch:debug, /autoresearch:fix, /autoresearch:security, /autoresearch:ship, /autoresearch:scenario, /autoresearch:predict, /autoresearch:learn):
AskUserQuestion to collect it BEFORE proceeding to any execution phase. DO NOT skip this step. DO NOT proceed without user input.| Command | Required Context | If Missing → Ask |
|---|---|---|
/autoresearch | Goal, Scope, Metric, Direction, Verify | Batch 1 (4 questions) + Batch 2 (3 questions) from Setup Phase below |
/autoresearch:plan | Goal | Ask via AskUserQuestion per references/plan-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:debug | Issue/Symptom, Scope | 4 batched questions per references/debug-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:fix | Target, Scope | 4 batched questions per references/fix-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:security | Scope, Depth | 3 batched questions per references/security-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:ship | What/Type, Mode | 3 batched questions per references/ship-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:scenario | Scenario, Domain | 4-8 adaptive questions per references/scenario-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:predict | Scope, Goal | 3-4 batched questions per references/predict-workflow.md |
/autoresearch:learn | Mode, Scope | 4 batched questions per references/learn-workflow.md |
YOU MUST NOT start any loop, phase, or execution without completing interactive setup when context is missing. This is a BLOCKING prerequisite.
| Subcommand | Purpose |
|---|---|
/autoresearch | Run the autonomous loop (default) |
/autoresearch:plan | Interactive wizard to build Scope, Metric, Direction & Verify from a Goal |
/autoresearch:security | Autonomous security audit: STRIDE threat model + OWASP Top 10 + red-team (4 adversarial personas) |
/autoresearch:ship | Universal shipping workflow: ship code, content, marketing, sales, research, or anything |
/autoresearch:debug | Autonomous bug-hunting loop: scientific method + iterative investigation until codebase is clean |
/autoresearch:fix | Autonomous fix loop: iteratively repair errors (tests, types, lint, build) until zero remain |
