autoresearch-goal

Rubric-checked research with proof is automated by creating a durable research plan that applies a professor-critic workflow, gathers supporting sources, and records iterative verdicts to validate completion.

A professor-critic workflow tracks research verdicts by recording pass, fail, or block decisions alongside gathered evidence, ensuring that all validation outcomes are explicitly auditable rather than implied.

Premature conclusions during research validation are prevented by a durable completion gate that only marks a goal complete after a final audit and a recorded verdict:"pass" with passed:true.

You can align research goals with external host goal snapshots by optionally accepting host goal snapshots via the --host-goal-json flag for alignment validation during the research mission.

Durable artifacts for autoresearch goals are stored under the dedicated autoresearch goals directory, using artifact-based truth to establish goal parity and preserve the strongest final evidence for later reuse.

The best way to separate evidence from inference in research workflows is through best-evidence finalization, which isolates supporting sources from analytical conclusions and preserves the strongest final artifacts.
