Skill Autoresearch

Use this skill when the job is improving a reusable repo artifact with a frozen local benchmark.

The contract is simple: first decide whether a ratchet is justified at all, then freeze the judge, baseline the current artifact, change one meaningful thing only when needed, rerun the same harness, keep only measured improvements, and log both wins and reverts.

This skill is intentionally repo-local. It owns markdown/git-friendly ratchets for SKILL.md, SOPs, prompts, templates, and workflow docs. If the real need is product-scale traces, hosted dashboards, or app/runtime evaluation, route out instead of pretending this skill replaces LangSmith, Braintrust, Weave, or Promptfoo.
