autoresearch: Autonomous Research Loop

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.

Transport (v1.7+)

The research loop writes a lot — source pages, concept pages, entity pages, manifest updates. All writes follow the standard transport policy. Read .vault-meta/transport.json (auto-created by bash scripts/detect-transport.sh):

• cli — obsidian-cli write "$VAULT" "$NOTE" < content.md; see skills/wiki-cli/SKILL.md
• mcp-obsidian / mcpvault — mcp__obsidian-vault__write_note
• filesystem — Claude's Write tool with absolute path
