Curated list of AutoResearch use cases with optimization traces and open source implementations

A curated list of autonomous improvement loops, research agents, and autoresearch-style systems inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch.

Don't trust an autoresearch paper at face value. Reviewer-side integrity forensics (self-consistency + fabrication), deterministic verdict. 61 signals: 46 integrity hack-patterns (families A–H, verdict-bearing) + 13 zero-weight AI writing-style impressions (AIS) + 2 advisory. Not an opaque AI-text classifier. The dual of ARIS.

Loop until it's better — drop-in agentic loops (autoresearch, scientific writing, data analysis, code/SQL/prompt optimization, red-teaming) as open-standard Agent Skills. Verification-gated; native on Claude Code, portable across Codex, Cursor & other Skills hosts.

a recursive self-improving harness designed to help your agents (and future iterations of those agents) succeed on any task
