What it does
Autoresearch is an agent skill from moedesux/autoresearch-opencode. Set up and run an autonomous experiment loop for any optimization target. Use when asked to start autoresearch or run experiments.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to start autoresearch
- Run experiments
Example prompts
- “/autoresearch”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Determine status
- Git operations
- Append result to JSONL
- Update dashboard
- Append to worklog
- Secondary metric consistency
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 679a331. 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:
gitpython3bash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Autoresearch loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,330 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: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,330 words (~4,223 tokens).
“Autonomous experiment loop: try ideas, keep what works, discard what doesn't, never stop.”
