SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autoresearch replaces the deprecated omx autoresearch command by providing a stateful, validator-gated research loop that persists via a native-hook mechanism, enabling continued evaluation across runs without manual re-launch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Init chooses exactly one validation mode at startup: mission-validator-script or prompt-architect-artifact.
  • Persist mode state in .omx/state/.../autoresearch-state.json including validation_mode, completion_artifact_path, mission_validator_command or validator_prompt, and optional output_artifact_path.
  • Completion is artifact-gated; the loop continues until a valid completion artifact exists and meets the chosen validation regime.
  • Direct CLI launch is gone; use $deep-interview --autoresearch for intake and $autoresearch for execution.

Quick Start

Initiate the workflow by selecting a validation mode, then run the autoresearch loop to produce a gated completion artifact.

Frequently Asked Questions about autoresearch

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate long-running research loops with persistent state across runs?

You automate long-running research loops by using a stateful, validator-gated mechanism that persists progress in a JSON state file, enabling evaluation to continue across multiple runs without manual re-launch.

What is artifact-gated completion in an automated research workflow?

Artifact-gated completion means the research loop continues iterating until a valid completion artifact is produced and successfully meets the validation regime specified at initialization.

How do I set up validator-gated research using a mission validator command?

You set up validator-gated research by initiating the workflow via the deep-interview command to select a validation mode, which configures the mission_validator_command or validator_prompt in the persistent state file.

Can I use prompt-architect-artifact validation for iterative AI workflows?

Yes, prompt-architect-artifact is one of the validation modes selectable at startup to gate the completion of iterative AI research workflows using a specific prompt architecture.

Does autoresearch support direct CLI launch for workflow execution?

No, direct CLI launch is deprecated; workflow execution requires using the deep-interview command for intake and the autoresearch command for running the stateful research loop.
