autoresearch
by av2 months ago18Runs autonomous keep/discard experiments on a codebase to optimize a single metric for a fixed duration, in the style of karpathy/autoresearch. Use when the user says "autoresearch" (optionally with a focus, e.g. "autoresearch the optimizer"), asks to run experiments on a repo overnight, to hill-climb or optimize a metric autonomously, or points at a repo with a karpathy-style program.md.

"It's great when you can "/autoresearch" or do an unbound "/timeboxed" run against some metric. You can too, check out"

code-review
Review the changes since a fixed point (commit, branch, tag, or merge-base) along two axes: Standards (does the code follow this repo's documented coding standards?) and Spec (does the code match what the originating issue/spec asked for?). Runs both reviews in parallel sub-agents and reports them side by side. Use when the user wants to review a branch, a PR, work-in-progress changes, or asks to \"review since X\".
implement
Implement a piece of work based on a spec or set of tickets.
to-tickets
Break a plan, spec, or the current conversation into a set of tracer-bullet tickets, each declaring its blocking edges, published to the configured tracker (edges as text in one file per ticket locally, or native blocking links on a real tracker).
frontend-design
Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
