autoconference-skill

Multi-agent research conference that spawns parallel autoresearchers with symposium sharing, adversarial peer review, and insight synthesis. Reads a conference.md, orchestrates N researchers in structured rounds, and produces a synthesized result combining the best findings. TRIGGER when: user mentions "autoconference" or "conference" with research context; user wants multiple researchers competing or collaborating; user wants parallel autoresearch with peer review; user mentions "conference.md"; user wants research synthesis from multiple approaches; user wants adversarial evaluation of research results. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants a single autoresearch loop (use autoresearch-skill); user wants a simple one-shot answer; user wants to read a single paper.

Core conference loop — spawns N parallel autoresearchers, runs 4-phase rounds (independent research, poster session, peer review, knowledge transfer), and produces synthesized results combining the best findings.

Post-conference analysis — compares researcher trajectories, identifies failure modes, extracts transferable insights, and produces an insight taxonomy. TRIGGER when: user wants to analyze conference results, understand what happened, extract learnings from a completed conference. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to run a conference (use autoconference) or ship results (use ship).

Adversarial 2-researcher debate mode. One researcher argues Position A (pro), the other argues Position B (con). Structured rounds with an Opus judge. TRIGGER when: user wants a debate, adversarial evaluation, pro/con analysis, wants to test opposing viewpoints. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants collaborative multi-researcher conference (use autoconference).

8-step interactive wizard that produces a fully configured conference.md file. TRIGGER when: user wants to set up a new conference, plan a conference, create conference.md. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to run an existing conference (use autoconference).

Resume an interrupted autoconference from its last checkpoint. Reads conference_events.jsonl to find last completed phase and resumes. TRIGGER when: user wants to resume/continue a conference, conference was interrupted. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to start a new conference (use autoconference or plan).

8-phase pipeline to convert conference results into paper-ready output. Formats, verifies, and packages conference findings for publication. TRIGGER when: user wants to ship/publish/format conference results, create a paper/report/blog post from conference output. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to run a conference (use autoconference).

Systematic multi-database literature survey. 3 researchers cover non-overlapping sources (databases, time periods, or methodologies) with citation-chain knowledge transfer. TRIGGER when: user wants a literature survey, systematic review, paper survey, wants to cover multiple databases or time periods. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to optimize a metric (use autoconference) or read a single paper (use scientific-reading).
