autoresearch-autobeta

Enhanced autoresearch skill with an escape harness that prevents local minima and scans the conceptual landscape. Use instead of /autoresearch when you want deeper search through parallel threads, adaptive axes, and crossover recombination. Same invocation pattern as autoresearch, but runs three parallel search threads with tournament selection, basin detection, and domain-configurable fingerprinting. Trigger: /autobeta, "use autobeta", "run autobeta on", or any autoresearch task where the user explicitly wants the enhanced harness. Beta status: this skill is still in beta. Cost: ~$15–25/run versus ~$2–5 for basic autoresearch.

Autonomous iterative improvement loop for any writing or thinking task: thesis frames, book titles, essay angles, product positioning, and strategy arguments. Give a problem statement, the agent designs the oracle (scoring dimensions plus judge panel), shows it for approval, then iterates one change at a time until convergence. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern applied to ideas. Trigger phrases: "/autoresearch", "run an autoresearch loop on", "iterate on this using autoresearch", and "use the autoresearch skill".
