ar-start

What problem does it solve?

Autoresearch workflows for new benchmark projects require coordinated setup, branch management, and initial evaluations. ar-start automates starting the loop from a prepared scaffold, reducing manual setup time and ensuring repeatable baselines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bootstrap-and-run workflow: switch to the expected autoresearch/<slug> branch, optionally run bootstrap, and prepare the project for evaluation.
• Baseline and first eval: create or update a baseline results row and execute the initial evaluation.
• Guardrails and reporting: enforce workflow guardrails, report baseline scores, guardrail findings, and update project status.

Quick Start

Start the autoresearch workflow for a prepared project directory by running ar-start <project-dir> to initialize and launch the loop.
