Auto Research

Optimize learning per unit of time. Start with one fast, revealing task, plan competing hypotheses, test them separately, combine verified winners, then expand coverage. The durable result is a parameter-effect map plus the best verified artifact. An experiment is a checkpoint, not a stopping point.

Workflow

1. Recover the research state. Read the objective, user feedback, project instructions, and existing research records. Reconcile the handoff with actual artifacts and running jobs; collect a pending attempt before launching another. Identify the best verified artifact (the incumbent), active task, regression set, hypothesis queue, and remaining budget. Reuse existing record locations.
