About

Autoresearch is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by Frad LEE. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Community GitHub marketplaces). The last change we recorded was on 2026-10-20. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-24.

In its own words, on Community GitHub marketplaces:

Autonomous research loop inspired by karpathy/autoresearch — give it a plain-language goal; it infers a recommended contract, then grills each decision with you (goal measurability, artifact, evaluator, bounds) before iterating: cheap sequential rounds that escalate to a parallel GAN tournament when they plateau

Want this mark on your plugin in our catalog?

Prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record, and you can show this mark on the card, with live banners for your site and README. How verification works

You also get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.

Data comes from public marketplace files in GitHub repositories of their authors. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
