What it does
Auto Research is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Iteratively improve a local artifact (draft, document, page) by running a hill-climbing loop. The user names the artifact, the evaluator, and the budget. Claudia edits the artifact, scores it, keeps it if better or reverts if worse, repeats. Use when user says "iterate on this", "loop on this until it's better", "run experiments on this draft", "auto-research this", "make this better and don't stop until it's good". Workspace-scoped, never touches live files, no external actions during the loop.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/program-template.md` and `references/safety-rules.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- User says iterate on this
- Loop on this until its better
- Run experiments on this draft
- Auto-research this
Example prompts
- “iterate on this”
- “loop on this until it”
- “run experiments on this draft”
- “/auto-research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The artifact — what gets iterated on (a draft email, a brief, a wiki page, a one-pager). Lives in the workspace, never touches the user's…
- The evaluator — a scalar rubric. Plain English. An independent Checker (the loop-checker agent, Haiku) scores each iteration against it…
- The budget — iteration count (default 20). Loop stops when budget is exhausted or score plateaus.
- The program (governance file) — what the user wants, what's off-limits, what counts as "better." Claudia helps the user write this if they…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitnode
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Auto Research loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,144 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,144 words (~4,575 tokens).
“A hill-climber for any local artifact with a rubric. Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch pattern, adapted to Claudia's safety principles.”

When should I use Auto Research?
Auto Research fits situations like: user says iterate on this; loop on this until its better; run experiments on this draft; auto-research this.
How do I install Auto Research in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add kbanc85/claudia --skill auto-research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/claudia/skills/auto-research in kbanc85/claudia) into .claude/skills/auto-research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Auto Research in Codex?

Can I use Auto Research in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add kbanc85/claudia --skill auto-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/auto-research, .gemini/skills/auto-research, .github/skills/auto-research and .opencode/skills/auto-research in your project.
What does Auto Research need to run?
