Autoresearch

Autonomous experiment loop: try ideas, keep what works, discard what doesn't, never stop.

Setup

Ask (or infer): Goal, Command, Metric (+ direction), Files in scope, Constraints.
git checkout -b autoresearch/<goal>-<date>
Read the source files. Understand the workload deeply before writing anything.
mkdir -p experiments then write autoresearch.md, autoresearch.sh, and experiments/worklog.md (see below). Commit all three.
Initialize experiment (write config header to autoresearch.jsonl) → run baseline → log result → start looping immediately.

`autoresearch.md`

This is the heart of the session. A fresh agent with no context should be able to read this file and run the loop effectively. Invest time making it excellent.
