Autonomous iterative experimentation loop for any programming task. Guides the user through defining goals, measurable metrics, and scope constraints, then runs an autonomous loop of code changes, testing, measuring, and keeping/discarding results. Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. USE FOR: autonomous improvement, iterative optimization, experiment loop, auto research, performance tuning, automated experimentation, hill climbing, try things automatically, optimize code, run experiments, auto…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named autoresearch already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/anubhavg-icpl/vibe' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd51e7ac9a34111cd2e63daed83c2198f91570050' -- 'skills/ghcopilot-autoresearch' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/ghcopilot-autoresearch' ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch' ~/.claude/skills/'autoresearch' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
