FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a performance benchmarking project for autoresearch?

To scaffold a performance benchmarking project, you generate an autoresearch.toml skeleton alongside program.md and eval.py files to standardize optimization loops and enforce a clear evaluation contract with defined metrics and guardrails.

What is an autoresearch scaffold and when do I need one for optimization experiments?

An autoresearch scaffold is a standardized project structure for early-stage optimization experiments. You need one when starting perf-focused benchmarking loops that require clear metrics, guardrails, and mutable surfaces to ensure repeatable workflows and structured results.

How do I standardize performance experiments across multiple teams?

You standardize performance experiments by generating essential files like an autoresearch.toml skeleton, program.md, and eval.py within a dedicated branch, enforcing a repeatable workflow with a defined results structure and clear evaluation contract across teams.

Does this autoresearch scaffold work for early-stage optimization experiments without clear metrics?

No, this scaffold applies specifically to early-stage optimization experiments that already have clear metrics, guardrails, and mutable surfaces defined. It requires these elements to enforce its repeatable workflow and structured evaluation contract.

What files do I need to start a perf-only autoresearch project?

To start a perf-only autoresearch project, you need an autoresearch.toml skeleton plus program.md and eval.py files. These establish the defined results structure and evaluation contract required for the benchmarking loop.

What's the best way to initialize a perf-focused autoresearch project?

The best way to initialize a perf-focused autoresearch project is to branch into autoresearch/$ARGUMENTS and trigger the scaffold generation, which creates the necessary autoresearch.toml skeleton and evaluation files for rapid iteration.
