What problem does it solve?
Manual try-and-fail cycles stall solo builders who lack time to run disciplined experiments on every idea.
Who is it for?
Builders validating hypotheses with automated tests who want agent-driven iteration inspired by autoresearch.
Skip if: Production-only hotfix workflows with no test harness or teams that forbid autonomous file changes.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After install, the agent can loop experiments automatically so only changes that pass your tests survive in the repo.
- One autoresearch-builder plugin wired to your repo
- Iterated patches that pass your test gate before keep
- Documented experiment outcomes from repeated agent cycles
