codex-autoresearch adds autonomous research loop

codex-autoresearch packages a Codex skill that repeatedly modifies a repo, verifies the result, and keeps or reverts each iteration. Inspired by Karpathy’s autoresearch loop, it adds lessons, session resume, and optional parallel worktrees for long-running, unattended refinement.

// ANALYSIS

This is less a coding assistant than a control system for disciplined, metric-driven experimentation. The value is in the guardrails: it turns “let Codex keep trying” into a reproducible loop that can actually converge.

  • One atomic change per iteration keeps the search space honest and makes rollback cheap.
  • Lessons persist across runs, so the system compounds knowledge instead of starting cold every time.
  • Parallel worktrees let it fan out hypotheses without mixing state, which matters for research-y codebases.
  • Best fit is measurable cleanup work: type reduction, test coverage, lint debt, performance tuning, and similar chores.
  • The big risk is obvious too: if the metric or guard is weak, the loop can optimize the wrong thing very efficiently.
