From a799d8bdb83b175c2ff0ba492ffacb7cca86cf98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:21:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20add=20autoresearch-agent=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20autonomous=20experiment=20loop=20for=20ML,=20prompt?= =?UTF-8?q?,=20code=20&=20skill=20optimization?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. The agent modifies a target file, runs a fixed evaluation, keeps improvements (git commit), discards failures (git reset), and loops indefinitely — no human in the loop. Includes: - SKILL.md with setup wizard, 4 domain configs, experiment loop protocol - 3 stdlib-only Python scripts (setup, run, log — 687 lines) - Reference docs: experiment domains guide, program.md templates Domains: ML training (val_bpb), prompt engineering (eval_score), code performance (p50_ms), agent skill optimization (pass_rate). Cherry-picked from feat/autoresearch-agent and rebased onto dev. Fixes: timeout inconsistency (2x→2.5x), results.tsv tracking clarity, zero-metric edge case, installation section aligned with multi-tool support. --- engineering/autoresearch-agent/SKILL.md | 246 ++++++++++++++ .../references/experiment-domains.md | 175 ++++++++++ .../references/program-template.md | 170 ++++++++++ .../autoresearch-agent/scripts/log_results.py | 126 +++++++ .../scripts/run_experiment.py | 310 ++++++++++++++++++ .../scripts/setup_experiment.py | 255 ++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 1282 insertions(+) create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/SKILL.md create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/references/experiment-domains.md create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/references/program-template.md create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/scripts/log_results.py create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/scripts/run_experiment.py create mode 100644 engineering/autoresearch-agent/scripts/setup_experiment.py diff --git a/engineering/autoresearch-agent/SKILL.md b/engineering/autoresearch-agent/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9193185 --- /dev/null +++ b/engineering/autoresearch-agent/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,246 @@ +--- +name: "autoresearch-agent" +description: "Autonomous experiment loop that runs overnight research without human intervention.

What's the metric? +A **single number** that defines success.

What's the time budget per experiment? +How long one experiment run takes: +- `5m` — fast iteration (Karpathy default, ~12 experiments/hour) +- `10m` — moderate (6/hour) +- `30m` — slow but thorough (2/hour) + +### 4. What can the agent change? +Constraints on the target file: +- Architecture only? Hyperparameters only? Everything? +- What packages/imports are available? +- What's explicitly off-limits? + +### 5. What's the evaluation function? +How we score each experiment: +- Fixed script that outputs the metric (e.g. `python evaluate.py`) +- API call that returns a score +- Test suite with a pass rate + +Once answered, run: `python scripts/setup_experiment.py` to initialize. + +--- + +## The Three Files + +Every autoresearch project has the same structure: + +``` +project/ +├── program.md ← Human writes this: objectives, constraints, strategy +├── target.* ← Agent modifies this: the thing being optimized +├── evaluate.py ← Fixed: the measurement function (never touch) +├── results.tsv ← Auto-generated: experiment log (git-tracked for continuity) +└── scripts/ + ├── setup_experiment.py ← Initialize a new run + ├── run_experiment.py ← Execute one experiment iteration + └── log_results.py ← Record results to TSV +``` + +### `program.md` — Your Research Directions +Write this once.

Removing code and getting equal results is a win. +- **One change per experiment** — don't change 5 things at once.

Lower or higher = better: -- `val_bpb` — validation bits per byte (ML, lower is better) -- `eval_score` — LLM quality score 0-100 (higher is better) -- `p50_ms` — median latency in milliseconds (lower is better) -- `pass_rate` — test pass rate 0-1 (higher is better) - -### 3. What's the time budget per experiment? -How long one experiment run takes: -- `5m` — fast iteration (Karpathy default, ~12 experiments/hour) -- `10m` — moderate (6/hour) -- `30m` — slow but thorough (2/hour) - -### 4. What can the agent change? -Constraints on the target file: -- Architecture only? Hyperparameters only? Everything? -- What packages/imports are available? -- What's explicitly off-limits? - -### 5. What's the evaluation function? -How we score each experiment: -- Fixed script that outputs the metric (e.g. `python evaluate.py`) -- API call that returns a score -- Test suite with a pass rate - -Once answered, run: `python scripts/setup_experiment.py` to initialize. - ---- - -## The Three Files - -Every autoresearch project has the same structure: - -``` -project/ -├── program.md ← Human writes this: objectives, constraints, strategy -├── target.* ← Agent modifies this: the thing being optimized -├── evaluate.py ← Fixed: the measurement function (never touch) -├── results.tsv ← Auto-generated: experiment log (git-tracked for continuity) -└── scripts/ - ├── setup_experiment.py ← Initialize a new run - ├── run_experiment.py ← Execute one experiment iteration - └── log_results.py ← Record results to TSV +**Project-level** (inside repo, git-tracked, shareable with team): +```bash +python scripts/setup_experiment.py \ + --domain engineering \ + --name api-speed \ + --target src/api/search.py \ + --eval "pytest bench.py --tb=no -q" \ + --metric p50_ms \ + --direction lower \ + --scope project ``` -### `program.md` — Your Research Directions -Write this once.

Fix shell injection: all git commands use subprocess list form - Replace shell tail with Python file read **Bug fixes (other scripts):** - setup_experiment.py: fix shell injection in git branch creation, remove dead --skip-baseline flag, fix evaluator docstring parsing - log_results.py: fix 6 falsy-zero bugs (baseline=0 treated as None), add domain_filter to CSV/markdown export, move import time to top - evaluators: add FileNotFoundError handling, fix output format mismatch in llm_judge_copy, add peak_kb on macOS, add ValueError handling **Plugin packaging (NEW):** -
