How it works

autoresearch

When your agent uses it

Autonomously optimize any Claude Code skill by running it repeatedly, scoring outputs against binary evals, mutating the prompt, and keeping improvements. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch methodology. Use when: optimize this skill, improve this skill, run autoresearch on, make this skill better, self-improve skill, benchmark skill, eval my skill, run evals on. Outputs: an improved SKILL.md, a results log, and a changelog of every mutation tried.

Token counts are estimates. Scripts run separately; they are not counted as reference context.

The playbook

  1. the core job
  2. before starting: gather context
  3. step 1: read the skill
  4. step 2: build the eval suite
  5. step 3: generate the live dashboard
  6. step 4: establish baseline
  7. step 5: run the experiment loop
  8. step 6: write the changelog
  9. step 7: deliver results
  10. output format
  11. example: optimizing a diagram-generator skill
  12. how this connects to other skills
  13. the test
