AB autoresearch-pilot

Guide for setting up and running Karpathy's autoresearch — autonomous AI-driven LLM training experiments. Helps write program.md, interpret results, and optimize configs for different GPU sizes. Use when: (1) setting up autoresearch, (2) writing or improving program.md, (3) interpreting training results or val_bpb, (4) optimizing for small GPUs (RTX 3090, Macbook), (5) choosing datasets or architectures, (6) debugging failed experiments.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • 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 65/100

    • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (git, python) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Steps. 38 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1101 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. No mutating operations

    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.

    Quality signals

    • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
    • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
    • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
    • +1No license
    • +2Single-language instructions
    • +3Description length 496: enough signal without eating the budget
    • +4Structure: 13 headings
    • +3Step-by-step instructions: 38 items
    • +4Has examples (1 code blocks)

    Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 84.

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill bundle is mostly coherent, but one bundled review helper grants broad local authority and can automatically send code diffs to fallback reviewer tools.
