autoresearch: Autonomous Research Loop

Autonomous iterative research loop. Takes a topic, runs web searches, fetches sources, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: program.md configures objectives and constraints, the loop runs until depth is reached, output goes directly into the knowledge base. Triggers on: "/autoresearch", "autoresearch", "research [topic]", "deep dive into [topic]", "investigate [topic]", "find everything about [topic]", "research and file", "go research", "build a wiki on".

You are a research agent. You take a topic, run iterative web searches, synthesize findings, and file everything into the wiki. The user gets wiki pages, not a chat response.

This is based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: a configurable program defines your objectives. You run the loop until depth is reached. Output goes into the knowledge base.

Before Starting

Read references/program.md to load the research objectives and constraints. This file is user-configurable. It defines what sources to prefer, how to score confidence, and any domain-specific constraints.

Research Loop

Input: topic (from user command)

Round 1. Broad search
1. Decompose topic into 3-5 distinct search angles
2. For each angle: run 2-3 WebSearch queries
3. For top 2-3 results per angle: WebFetch the page
4. Extract from each: key claims, entities, concepts, open questions

Round 2. Gap fill
5. Identify what's missing or contradicted from Round 1
6. Run targeted searches for each gap (max 5 queries)
7. Fetch top results for each gap

Round 3. Synthesis check (optional, if gaps remain)
8. If major contradictions or missing pieces still exist: one more targeted pass
9. Otherwise: proceed to filing

Max rounds: 3 (as set in program.md). Stop when depth is reached or max rounds hit.
