Autoresearch Pro — Development skill for Claude Code

autoresearch-pro

Improve an existing skill, prompt, article, plugin, workflow, or system mechanism through small, reversible changes and before/after comparisons.

[中文说明](README_zh.md) · [Core instructions](SKILL.md)

The skill was renamed from **cjl-autoresearch-cc** to **autoresearch-pro**. This repository was also renamed to autoresearch-pro. The folder and frontmatter name used by your agent should be `autoresearch-pro`.

When to use it

Use it for an explicit iteration, a case-based comparison, or an improvement grounded in failure records. It is not needed for a one-off rewrite, translation, an explanation of autoresearch, or routine development without an experiment.

Example request:

Use autoresearch-pro to improve this classification prompt. Preserve the original, compare both versions on a few realistic inputs, and deliver one useful revision. Do not use paid APIs or modify external systems.

The default is **one round**, with at most **three** when a concrete remaining problem justifies another round. Save the baseline, test the same tasks, inspect actual artifacts, and keep only demonstrated improvements. If runtime testing is unavailable, deliver a separate candidate with that limitation instead of claiming a quality gain. No mandatory generic checklist, simulated quality percentage, or 100-round loop.

Install

No package manager dependencies, scripts, credentials, or provider configuration are required. Clone to a stable directory named after the skill:

mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
git clone https://github.com/0xcjl/autoresearch-pro.git ~/.agents/skills/autoresearch-pro

These commands assume the destination does not exist. If you already have an installation, inspect and back it up first; do not overwrite local edits. Record `git rev-parse HEAD` in the checkout for reproducibility. To update a clean checkout later, use `git pull --ff-only`; review the diff before reloading clients.
