Orchestrates end-to-end autonomous AI research projects using a two-loop architecture. The inner loop runs rapid experiment iterations with clear optimization targets. The outer loop synthesizes results, identifies patterns, and steers research direction. Routes to domain-specific skills for execution, supports continuous agent operation via Claude Code /loop and OpenClaw heartbeat, and produces research presentations and papers. Use when starting a research project, running autonomous experime…

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '773a52944ba4747a18bd4ae9ade53fff041adcbc' -- '0-autoresearch-skill' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'0-autoresearch-skill' ~/.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.
