auto-researchlisted

Improve any existing Claude Code skill, CLAUDE.md, subagent definition, slash-command, or prompt markdown file by combining web-researched best-practice rewrites with autonomous Karpathy-style binary eval loops. Use when the user wants to "auto-research", "self-improve", "auto-improve", "optimize", "modernize", or "research-improve" any existing SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, agent file under .claude/agents/, slash-command file under .claude/commands/, or any prompt markdown file. Triggers on phrases like "use auto-research to improve skill X", "auto-improve this CLAUDE.md", "research best practices and rewrite Y", or "self-research and optimize this agent". Researches authoritative sources (Anthropic docs, anthropic.com engineering blog, anthropics/skills GitHub) in parallel sub-agents, proposes a cited rewrite, runs an autonomous binary-assertion eval loop with git commit and reset bookkeeping for testable artifacts, and asks the user to confirm only at the end with a before-and-after score and full source list.

# Auto-Research Improve a target prompt artifact (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, subagent definition, slash-command, or generic prompt markdown) by: 1. **Detecting** the artifact type and the rules that apply to it 2. **Researching** current authoritative best practices in parallel — every claim cited 3. **Proposing** a rewrite with per-change rationale and source URLs 4. **Validating** the rewrite — for testable artifacts, an autonomous Karpathy-style binary-assertion eval loop with git commit/reset bookkeeping; for non-testable artifacts, deterministic format validation 5. **Confirming** once at the very end with a before/after score table, the diff, and the cited sources — only the user's explicit "yes" causes the final write Run autonomously between steps 1 and 4. Stop only at step 5. --- ## Phase 0 — Read Inputs and Set Up Workspace The user will name a target artifact (a path, or a phrase like "my copywriting skill" — resolve it). Resolution rules: - If a path is given, use it. - If a skill name is given, search `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (project) then `~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (user). - If "this CLAUDE.md" or similar, use the most-specific one in the current working directory tree (project > user). Then: 1. **Read** the target artifact in full. 2. **Classify** it via [references/artifact-types.md](references/artifact-types.md): SKILL.md / CLAUDE.md / subagent / slash-command / generic-prompt. 3. **Set up the workspace** — a sibling directory `.auto-resea
