AB autoresearch-pro
Automatically improve OpenClaw skills, prompts, or articles through iterative mutation-testing loops. Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. Use when user says 'optimize [skill]', 'autoresearch [skill]', 'improve my skill', 'optimize this prompt', 'improve my prompt', 'polish this article', 'improve this article', or explicitly requests quality improvement for any text-based content. Supports three modes: skill (SKILL.md files), prompt (any prompt text), and article (any document).
As a process B 67/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check
- 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 29 steps
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1670 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
