Setup

Setup

Set up a new autoresearch experiment interactively. Collects domain, target file, eval command, metric, direction, and evaluator. Use when the user runs /ar:setup or asks to start optimizing a file with the autoresearch loop.

Optimized workflow

This edition turns the source methodology into a repeatable agent workflow with explicit inputs, checkpoints and deliverables.

Quality standard

• Confirm scope and missing inputs before execution
• Ground decisions in available evidence and preserve source constraints
• Return an actionable result with assumptions, risks and next steps

Agent compatibility

The same core method is packaged for Claude, Codex, GPT, Gemini, Cursor and OpenCode.
