What codex-autoresearch-loop does

The skill sets up an automated iterative loop across your code. Before editing anything, the agent probes the repository, identifies the target metric, and prepares two validation steps. You review the inferred plan during an interactive confirmation prompt before execution starts.

Two separate gates validate every step. The verify command ensures the primary metric improves, while the guard command guarantees that unrelated code remains intact. Successful steps stay in git history; failures revert automatically. The loop never modifies files covered by the guard.

Without a defined iteration cap, the loop continues indefinitely until stopped. Discoveries from each step save to lessons.md, allowing subsequent or resumed sessions to avoid previously discarded strategies.

What it helps with

  • eliminate explicit any types throughout TypeScript projects
  • raise test coverage percentages across specified directories
  • resolve failing test suites until all assertions pass
  • diagnose intermittent API errors by testing falsifiable hypotheses

Example prompts for the agent

  • $codex-autoresearch eliminate all any types in TypeScript files
  • $codex-autoresearch fix all failing tests after refactor

What does codex-autoresearch-loop do?

It runs an unattended loop that makes atomic changes, evaluates them against verification commands, and retains only measurable improvements in git.

What is the difference between verify and guard commands?

The verify command checks whether the target metric got better, triggering a rollback if it did not. The guard command ensures other project parts did not break, allowing up to two repair attempts before reverting.
