Autoresearch Skill for Claude
Autonomously research an ML task and run MANY bounded experiments to find the best config — a fixed-budget edit→train→eval→keep-or-discard loop in the spirit of karpathy/autoresearch, wrapped in the ml-intern orchestrator model and fanned out with a Claude Code dynamic workflow. Runs LONG: an iterative generational loop (mims-harvard/AutoScientists style) where parallel agent teams propose hypotheses, peer-critique them before spending any GPU, share findings on a common board, promote a champion, and keep going until budget/stagnation/convergence. Triggers when the user wants to "run many experiments", "sweep / search for the best config", "beat a benchmark", "do an ablation", "autoresearch X", "run for a long time / overnight / for days", or "find what improves metric Y on dataset Z". Deep-researches existing solutions across the internet FIRST (fan-out web search + PapersWithCode + GitHub, sources cross-checked into a cited DEEPRESEARCH.md), then ASKS where to get GPUs ("cards") and data before spending any compute, generates an experiment matrix seeded from diverse literature angles, runs it as a background workflow under an explicit budget, keeps a running leaderboard + shared findings board, verifies winners, and reports the best config. Reuses ml-intern's notify.sh + hf_push.sh for milestone alerts and HF Hub publishing.

Use when the user is doing AI/ML work in a scientific domain such as biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, climate, genomics, materials, medicine, ecology, energy, engineering, math, drug discovery, protein design, weather modeling, theorem proving, single-cell, or PDE solving. Hugging Science is a curated catalog of scientific datasets, models, blog posts, and interactive Spaces. This skill helps discover and use resources via `datasets`, `transformers`, the HF Inference API, `gradio_client`, and methodology citations.
Publish and manage research papers on Hugging Face Hub. Supports creating paper pages, linking papers to models/datasets, claiming authorship, and generating professional markdown-based research articles.
Semantic search, similar content discovery, and structured research using Exa API. Use when you need semantic/embeddings-based search, finding similar content, or searching by category (company, people, research papers, etc.).

How to use it
Take alexwortega/autoresearch from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
