# Autoresearch - Autonomous Goal-directed Iteration
## Safety Invariants (all subcommands)
- Never push, publish, or deploy without explicit user approval.
- Bounded by default. Override with `Iterations: unlimited`.
- All results logged to `autoresearch/{subcommand}-{YYMMDD}-{HHMM}/` directory.
- Chain handoff via `handoff.json`. Evals reads `*-results.tsv`.
## Dispatch (bare `/autoresearch`)
Parse the invocation in this order:
| Condition | Mode |
|---|---|
| `Metric:` or `Verify:` present | **Classic** - existing metric loop, unchanged |
| Free-form natural-language goal, no metric/verify | **Orchestrator** - see Orchestrator section |
| Nothing | **Setup wizard** - interactive config builder |
| `--classic` flag | Force Classic regardless of goal text |
| `--auto` flag | Force Orchestrator regardless of goal text |… load the full skill through Skill Me
