# Auto-Research
Autonomous goal-driven orchestration inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch pattern. The user
writes intent in plain English; the agent classifies the goal, selects the right skill,
configures parameters, and runs the appropriate autonomous loop.
**Core principle:** Human writes intent, agent figures out execution. One entry point,
many execution paths.
## When to Use
| User says... | Auto-research routes to |
|---|---|
| "fix the flaky test in auth" | `/fix-bug` |
| "improve API latency below 100ms" | `/experiment --minimize` |
| "get coverage to 90%" | `/cover --target 90` |
| "design a caching layer" | `/brainstorming` |
| "build the notification feature" | `/develop` |
| "review MR !42" | `/review-mr` |
| "make sure everything passes" | `/verify` |
| "optimize the review skill prompt" | `/experiment` on SKILL.md |
| "what's the state of MCP auth in 2026" | `/ctk:web-research` |
> **Illustrative examples only.** The authoritative routing map — categories, signal words, and target skills — is the **Intent Classification table** in Phase 1 (§Classify). Change routing *there*; this table just shows it in practice.
**Use `/auto-research` instead of a specific skill when:**
- The user describes a goal, not a method
- The right skill is not obvious from the request
- The user wants the agent to pick the approach
**Use a specific skill directly when:**
- The user already knows which skill to use
- The request maps unambiguously to one skill
