aeon-autoresearch

Evolve any installed skill by generating four variations along separate theses (better inputs / sharper output / more robust / rethink), scoring them on a weighted rubric, and applying the winner. Never downgrades a working skill — aborts cleanly if no variation improves the original. Use when an installed skill is producing low-signal output, hitting deprecated APIs, or feels stale. Triggers: "improve this skill", "evolve $skill", "auto-research my X", "regenerate variations".

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by BankrBot on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aeon Autoresearch AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/BankrBot/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/aeon-autoresearch .claude/skills/aeon-autoresearch

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aeon Autoresearch in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aeon Autoresearch on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aeon Autoresearch is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

aeon-autoresearch

Self-improvement loop. Given a target SKILL.md, generates four parallel improved variations, scores each, applies the winner.

Inputs

Param	Description
`target`	Skill name or path to SKILL.md. Required.
`mode`	`evolve` (default) writes the diff. `dry-run` scores and prints, writes nothing.

The four variations

A — Better inputs: replace deprecated APIs, add fallbacks, fix broken endpoints.
B — Sharper output: tighter format, signal over noise, explicit verdicts, banned filler.
C — More robust: empty-data handling, retries, dedup state, rate-limit awareness.
D — Rethink: fundamentally different methodology for the same goal.

Each is a complete runnable SKILL.md. Frontmatter shape preserved.

Scoring

1-5 per axis, weighted total max 50:

Axis	Weight
Improvement vs original	3×
Output value	2×
Clarity, data quality, robustness	1.5× each
Conventions	1×

Tie-break (within 2 points): prefer the variation making the biggest single improvement over many small ones.

Safety guarantee

If every variation scores ≤ original on Improvement, the skill aborts with AUTORESEARCH_NO_IMPROVEMENT. No file written. Working skills are never downgraded.

Preserves the original's core purpose, frontmatter shape, and declared env vars.

Versioning

Inside a git repo, changes land in a branch (autoresearch/${target}) — operator reviews the diff before merging. Outside a repo, the original is preserved at ${target}/SKILL.md.before-autoresearch for rollback.

Output

The diff, plus a report with the scoring table for all four variations and a one-paragraph rationale for the winner.

Pairs with aeon-skill-evals (surfaces what's underperforming) and aeon-skill-repair (deterministic bugs; autoresearch handles quality lifts).

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aeon Autoresearch AI skill do?

Why use Aeon Autoresearch on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aeon Autoresearch is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aeon Autoresearch in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/BankrBot/skills/tree/main/aeon-autoresearch. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aeon Autoresearch?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aeon Autoresearch?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aeon Autoresearch with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aeon Autoresearch AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by BankrBot. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
