# autoresearch The canonical loop that distinguishes Rockie from a chat assistant. This is what runs around-the-clock on the tenant's Fly machine. The bones of this skill predate Karpathy's autoresearch (rockie's existing autopilot + queue + post-run-review primitives are richer than Karpathy's narrow loop). Phase 7 augmented those bones with three sharp Karpathy primitives — frozen metric, time-budget per experiment, explicit mutation surface — without stripping the broader system. A later pass added the sustained-campaign layer below (concurrent pipeline staffing, the verdict protocol, subagent tiering, the pre-launch resource/placement red-team, and the novelty re-verification gate) — the operating discipline that keeps a multi-day, multi-experiment campaign honest once a single queue row stops being the unit of work. ## When to invoke - The autopilot daemon invokes this skill on every queue dequeue. - A researcher invokes manually for a one-off experiment outside the queue (`/autoresearch run-once …`). - The post-run-review skill calls back here with a follow-up experiment derived from a [LEARN] block. ## The canonical loop ``` ┌─ taste corpus (immutable for the run) ────────────┐ │ SOUL / STYLE / METHODOLOGY / DISMISSALS / MEMORY │ │ + program.md (Karpathy convention) if present │ └────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌────────▼────────────┐ │ PICK from queue or │ ← queue-refill skill keeps
