Autoresearch Skill Andrej Karpathy
Description
Claude Code skill for autonomous, goal-directed iteration. /autoresearch <goal> builds a real-data benchmark harness, captures a baseline, and iterates with a regression gate until the goal is hit. Inspired by Andrej Karpathy's autoresearch.

✨ What is this?
**Autoresearch** is a Claude Code skill that turns a free-form goal like
/autoresearch reduce API p95 latency to 200msinto an **autonomous, self-correcting optimization loop** that:
- 🧠 Parses the goal into seven machine-readable slots
- 📦 Ingests real data (refusing synthetic corpora)
- 🛠️ Builds a single-file benchmark harness
- 📐 Captures a baseline + regression test count
- 🔁 Iterates — one atomic change at a time
- ✅ Keeps wins, 🗑️ auto-discards regressions, logs everything
- 🏁 Stops when the target metric is hit
No hand-holding. No "should I continue?" Just mechanical iteration until the goal is reached.
🌟 Why use it?
🎯 Mechanical, not subjectiveEvery iteration is judged by a single floating-point metric extracted from a command. "Looks better" is banned. |
