autoresearch SKILL.md skillB

autoresearch from akillness/jeo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/autoresearch@v1.2.0

Pins v1.2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run Karpathy-style autonomous ML search on a real training repo: choose the right mode (setup, program.md, bounded loop, results interpretation, or constrained-hardware adaptation), preserve the immutable prepare.py / 300-second / val_bpb contract, and route prompt/skill eval work away to LangSmith, Promptfoo, Braintrust, or skill-autoresearch.

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

# autoresearch

Autoresearch is a **closed-loop ML experimentation workflow**:
- human writes `program.md`
- agent edits `train.py`
- `prepare.py` stays fixed
- every run gets the same 300-second budget
- lower `val_bpb` wins
- regressions get reverted

This skill should behave like a **routing-first front door**, not a giant tutorial. Pick the user's mode, enforce the immutable-harness rules, then hand them to the smallest useful script or reference.

## When to use this skill

- Set up `karpathy/autoresearch` on a real GPU machine
- Write or refine `program.md` before a session
- Run a bounded overnight `train.py` search loop
- Interpret `results.tsv` after a session
- Adapt the workflow to tighter VRAM constraints without invalidating comparisons
- Explain the ML-specific boundary between `autoresearch` and nearby eval tooling

## Do not use this skill when

- The user wants to optimize a `SKILL.md`, prompt, or repo-local workflow with frozen prompts/evals — use `skill-autoresearch`
- The user wants app-level tracing, dataset-backed LLM evals, feedback review, or observability — use LangSmith, Braintrust, Weave, Promptfoo, or similar tools

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/autoresearch@sha256:206ed9ccf1c89fa5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
