Researchforge
Description
A lab protocol for coding agents. Freeze baselines, run hypotheses in isolated worktrees, reject failures and validate improvements from Claude Code, Cursor or a direct API key (Gemini/Anthropic/openAI).
Installation
This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no

README
ResearchForge
Your AI generates ideas. ResearchForge tests which ones actually hold up.
Claude Code or Cursor is the researcher. ResearchForge is the lab protocol.
From papers to proof.

Product introduction
ResearchForge turns a research question — or an "improve my repository" goal — into reproducible, traceable evidence. The agent proposes; ResearchForge freezes, executes, measures, rejects, and validates. It finds relevant papers, generates testable hypotheses, benchmarks competing implementations against a frozen baseline in isolated local workspaces, and delivers the strongest supported result as a clean branch, an engineering report, or a research package.
Works with **Claude Code** (slash-command skills), **Cursor** (MDC rules), or **standalone** with any AI API key — install once for your whole machine.
Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's [autoresearch](https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch), where an agent autonomously runs training experime
