start SKILL.md skillA

start from emaballarin/ccplugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add emaballarin/ccplugins/start@git:20261003.36f24d0

Pins git:20261003.36f24d0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Open a new autoresearch experiment loop — dedicated `ar/…` git branch, `./.ar/` state, and a measured baseline noise floor so later gains can be told apart from run-to-run scatter. Invoke ONLY when explicitly asked to start an autoresearch run, open an experiment loop, or `/ar:start` — e.g. "autoresearch this", "start an ar run", "set up a loop to minimise X". Do NOT auto-fire on ordinary optimisation work. "Make this faster", "improve the accuracy", "tune these hyperparameters…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /ar:start — begin an autoresearch run

Stand up the loop: dedicated branch, `./.ar/` state, a real harness, and a
measured noise floor. Starting does **not** iterate — `/ar:resume` does that.

## First action, always

Check for existing state before anything else:

```bash
ls -la ./.ar/ar.jsonl 2>/dev/null && git branch --show-current
```

If `ar.jsonl` already exists, this is not a fresh run. Print the status block and
say so — offer `/ar:resume` to continue or an explicit new-segment start
over. Never silently overwrite a run in progress.

## Hard rules

1. **Confirm before creating.** If this fired on inferred rather than stated
   intent, describe what opening a loop would do and confirm it is wanted before
   step 2. Ordinary optimisation — making something faster, tuning a few
   hyperparameters, running a benchmark — is handled directly. A loop is for many
   measured iterations under a locked harness, and it is not free: it branches
   and commits.
2. **Never act on a branch this run did not create.** Create `ar/<slug>-<DD-MM-YYYY>`,
   carrying the current working tree across — uncommitted and untracked files
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add emaballarin/ccplugins/start@sha256:760bbc830586b033

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.36f24d0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
