# autoresearch-ai-plugin Runs an edit-measure-keep/discard cycle on any metric you can measure: test speed, bundle size, build time, training loss. - plugin · `type=plugin` · Claude Code · ★ 13 - Author: proyecto26 - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/proyecto26/autoresearch-ai-plugin - Updated: 2026-07-18 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/plugins/autoresearch-ai-plugin ## What it does The plugin ships two skills. Autoresearch is the domain-agnostic engine: it edits code, runs your benchmark, compares the result against the previous run and keeps only what improved. Autoresearch ML extends it for LLM training on NVIDIA GPUs, with a ready pretraining template (GPT, Flash Attention, MuonAdamW) and the `val_bpb` metric, which stays comparable across vocabulary sizes. State is written to `autoresearch.jsonl`, so a context reset or a restarted session does not wipe the experiment history. Discarded runs leave structured ASI notes behind, and those survive `git revert`. MAD-based statistics separate real gains from measurement noise. Segments let you switch the optimization target mid-session while keeping what came before. Alongside the skills you get the `/run-autoresearch` slash command and the Autoresearch Orchestrator sub-agent. The command collects goal, benchmark and metric, then the agent runs experiments in batches of 10 and hands back a checkpoint after each one. Experiments rely on git commit and revert, so the loop will not work in a project without Git. The ML skill needs an NVIDIA GPU with 8GB+ VRAM, CUDA 12.0+, Python 3.10+ and `uv`. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) **Plugin marketplace** In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install autoresearch-ai-plugin@claude-community ``` ## When to use it - speed up a test suite by searching configurations automatically - shrink bundle size through build variants - cut project build time - lower LLM training loss on your own GPU - compare model architectures by `val_bpb` ## Example prompts - Run autoresearch to optimize my test suite - Start an experiment loop to reduce bundle size - Set up ML autoresearch with my RTX 4090 ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE c711925a44779709 ```text # Autoresearch AI Plugin > **Autonomous Experiment Loops for Claude Code — Let AI optimize while you sleep** Edit code → commit → run benchmark → measure metric → keep improvement or revert → **repeat forever**. Works for **any optimization target**: LLM training loss, test speed, bundle size, build time, Lighthouse scores, and more. Inspired by [Karpathy's autoresearch](https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch), [pi-autoresearch](https://github.com/davebcn87/pi-autoresearch), and [litesearch](https://github.com/jlippp/litesearch). ## Skills This plugin provides two skills that work together. **Autoresearch** is the core engine (works for any metric), and **Autoresearch ML** extends it with GPU-specific templates for LLM training. ### 1. Autoresearch (The Optimizer) *Domain-agnostic autonomous experiment loop.* - **Edit → Measure → Keep/Discard**: Autonomous cycle that edits code, runs benchmarks, and keeps only improvements. - **Context-Resilient**: State persists in `autoresearch.jsonl` — survives context resets and session restarts. - **Confidence Scoring**: MAD-based statistical analysis separates real improvements from measurement noise. - **ASI (Actionable Side Information)**: Structured annotations per experiment that survive git reverts — the only memory of discarded experiments. - **Secondary Metrics**: Track tradeoff metrics (memory, compile time) alongside the primary optimization target. - **Segments**: Multi-phase sessions — switch optimization targets mid-session without losing history. - **Cancel & Status**: Check progress or stop the loop at any time while preserving experiment history. - **Deterministic stopping rules** (v0.3.1): every loop-termination condition is recomputed from `autoresearch.jsonl` (current segment) so it survives context resets — a segment-scoped consecutive-failure wall (`>8`), honored `max_iterations`, a 200-run backstop for unbounded runs, and a session-lifecycle `status` marker so a cancelled/finished session is never silently resumed. - **Any Metric**: Test speed, bundle size, build time, Lighthouse scores, memory usage — if you can measure it, you can optimize it. ### 2. Autoresearch ML (The Researcher) *Specialized for LLM training with NVIDIA GPUs. Extends the core Autoresearch skill.* - **Ready-to-Use Template**: Complete LLM pretraining setup based on Karpathy's autoresearch (GPT + Flash Attention + MuonAdamW). - **Consumer to Datacenter GPUs**: Supports NVIDIA GPUs from 4GB (GTX 1080 Ti) to 80GB (H100) with automatic VRAM scaling guidance. - **Fixed Time Budget**: Every experiment runs for exactly 5 minutes — all results are directly comparable. - **Bits Per Byte**: Vocab-size-independent metric (`val_bpb`) enables fair comparison across architectures. ### 3. `/run-autoresearch` Command + Orchestrator Agent *Managed execution — batches, checkpoints, lossless resume.* - **`/run-autoresearch [goal]`** — one command to run a session end-to-end: it gathers goal/benchmark/metric (asking only for what it can't infer), then dispatches the **Autoresearch Orchestrator** sub-agent, which executes experiments in batches (default 10) following the skill protocol and returns a structured checkpoint after each batch. - **`/run-autoresearch status`** / **`/run-autoresearch cancel`** — inspect or wind down the current session directly, without launching the agent. - **Checkpoint loop**: `CONTINUE` → the next batch is dispatched automatically; `DONE`/`WALL` → final summary with baseline → best and the top untried ASI hints; `BLOCKED` → the blocker is surfaced. Because state lives in `autoresearch.jsonl` + `autoresearch.md`, every dispatch resumes losslessly — including after context resets or days later. - **Requires the plugin install** (Option 1 below). Skills-only installs (`npx skills`, clone-and-copy) get the two skills but not the command/agent. --- ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE c711925a44779709 The third-party file has ended.
