Use when a skill or prompt needs to improve and a measurable, bounded baseline-variant-evaluation loop should replace one subjective rewrite. Aliases: nb-autoimprove, deep-autoresearch, code-autoresearch, nobrainer-capture-lesson, nobrainer-continuous-improvement.

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

# NoBrainer Autoimprove

Improve one artifact only when a frozen evaluation proves a candidate better.
This independent adaptation applies Andrej Karpathy's
[autoresearch](https://github.com/karpathy/autoresearch) measure-change-keep loop
to skills, prompts, instructions and other reviewable artifacts; it is not an
official Karpathy project.

## Route the smallest fix

Fix an obvious typo, dead link or deterministic defect directly and cover it
with the normal test. Do not start an experiment when the objective cannot be
measured, target/evaluator isolation is impossible, or the change needs an
unapproved production, credential, publishing, safety or irreversible action.

Treat owner correction as evidence, not permission for a global rewrite:

- task-local clarification stays in the task;
- a repeatable behavior gap becomes a regression scenario;
- a verified durable fact or preference follows `LEARNING_WRITE_POLICY`:
  `AUTO_SCOPED` writes one minimal sourced rule to one canonical store, `ASK`
  prepares one exact diff, and `OFF` keeps it task-local: do not create a durable
  diff in `AGENTS.md`, `tasks/lessons.md` or a wiki.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nobrainer-tech/nobrainer-tech-flow/nobrainer-autoimprove@sha256:17b2a6422f746186

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.b89d7ef, 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.
