Claude Autoresearch Skill — Autonomous goal-directed iteration for Claude Code. Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. Modify → Verify → Keep/Discard → Repeat forever.
The Lens
Autoresearch is that loop. Inspired by Karpathy's approach to autonomous ML research, it generalizes the pattern to any domain.
You set a goal, point it at your codebase, and it runs a modify-verify-keep/discard cycle until the goal is met or you stop it. It's not a framework you build on. It's a skill you add to Claude Code that makes it relentlessly iterative.
The catch: it's a Claude Code skill, not a standalone tool. You need to be in the Claude Code ecosystem. And 'autonomous iteration' means it will burn through API credits if you're not watching the scope of what you're asking it to do.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFully open source under MIT. A Claude Code skill. No separate hosting, no account, no paid tier. Install it and use it within your Claude Code session. Cost is purely the Claude API usage from the iterative loops.
Free skill. You pay only for Claude API usage during the research loops.
