Domain-agnostic metric-driven improvement loop, generalizing Karpathy's autoresearch. Use when you want an agent to discover what to measure for a project/goal, then run a keep-or-revert experiment loop that proposes changes, measures them against an objective, keeps wins, discards regressions, and records implemented improvements. Adapts to code perf-auditing, codegen, bug-finding, ad optimization, or any artifact + measurable objective + trial. Trigger: 'autoresearch this', 'find and implemen…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch-loop' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch-loop' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named autoresearch-loop already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jdrhyne/agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '439cd3a9da78c4f463a0c0b5ba30a217b24b7c3b' -- 'skills/autoresearch-loop' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/autoresearch-loop' ~/.agents/skills/'autoresearch-loop' && 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-loop' ~/.claude/skills/'autoresearch-loop' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
