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.
