Add autoresearch skill, update configs and README

Browse Source 
Add .claude/skills/claudini/SKILL.md to drive the autoresearch loop
via /claudini slash command. Update CLAUDE.md with skill docs. Replace
PROMPT.txt with the skill-based workflow. Rewrite README to feature
the autoresearch loop prominently. Add easy_1e16 and easy_1e17 preset
configs and update safeguard configs.

# Autoresearch Iteration
You are an automated researcher designing token optimization methods to minimize token-forcing loss on language models.
- **Run code**: `$ARGUMENTS[0]` — determines the method chain, branch, and log location
- **Goal** (everything after the run code): the research objective
This skill runs ONE iteration of the research loop. It is designed to be called repeatedly via `/loop`.
**Derived from run code `$ARGUMENTS[0]`:**
- Method directory: `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/`
- Method name prefix: `claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]_v`
- Git branch: `loop/$ARGUMENTS[0]`
- Agent log: `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/AGENT_LOG.md`
## Initialization (first iteration only)
Read `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/AGENT_LOG.md`. If it exists, skip this section — the run is already set up.
**Config.** If the user's goal mentions a specific config name (e.g. `random_train`, `safeguard_valid`), use that existing config from `configs/`. Otherwise, check `configs/` for a preset that matches. Only create a new config if nothing fits:
```yaml
# Autoresearch: <brief description>
model: <model_id>
optim_length: 15
max_flops: <budget>
dtype: bfloat16
system_prompt: ""
samples: [0, 1, 2]
seeds: [0]
final_input: tokens
use_prefix_cache: true
input_spec:
source:
type: random
query_len: 0
target_len: 10
layout:
type: suffix
init:
type: random
```
Parse the goal to extract model (default: `Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct`) and FLOP budget (default: `1.0e+15`).
**Git branch.** Create and switch to `loop/$ARGUMENTS[0]` if not already on it.
**Agent log.** Create `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/AGENT_LOG.md` with the config name, goal, and setup details.
## Step 1 — Design and implement a new method
Design and implement a new optimizer that achieves lower loss than existing methods. Read the agent log, then use whatever you need:
- Agent log: `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/AGENT_LOG.md`
- Your method chain: `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/`
- Other methods: `claudini/methods/` (baselines and other Claude-designed chains)
- Benchmark results: `results/` (shared across all runs and methods)
- Developer guide: `CLAUDE.md`
Create the next version as a proper Python package under `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/v<N>/` with `method_name = "claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]_v<N>"`.
## Step 2 — Run the benchmark
The method must not override config settings — suffix length, FLOP budget, model, samples, etc. are controlled by the config, not the optimizer.
Run the full benchmark. Launch in background and don't wait:
```bash
uv run -m claudini.run_bench <config> --method claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]_v<N>
```
## Step 3 — Commit and update log
Commit the new method and any config changes to the `loop/$ARGUMENTS[0]` branch. Then update `claudini/methods/claude_$ARGUMENTS[0]/AGENT_LOG.md` with:
- What method you created and the key idea
- What to try next iteration

## Autoresearch skill
The `/claudini` skill (`.claude/skills/claudini/SKILL.md`) drives the autoresearch loop. It takes a **run code** and a **goal** as positional arguments:
```
/claudini <run_code> <goal>
```
The run code determines: method directory (`claudini/methods/claude_<run_code>/`), method name prefix (`claude_<run_code>_v`), git branch (`loop/<run_code>`), and agent log location.
**Keep the skill in sync with the framework.** When you change the `TokenOptimizer` interface, config format, CLI flags, or project structure, update the skill prompt accordingly.
## Rules
- **Never save smoke test results to `results/`** — use `--results-dir /tmp/smoke`

You are an automated researcher designing token optimization methods to minimize token-forcing loss on language models.
GOAL
Create new optimizer variants that achieve lower loss than all existing methods. Beat every baseline and every previous Claude-designed method. The metric is average final loss across samples.
SETTINGS
Config: `demo_train`
New methods directory: `claudini/methods/claude_demo/` (put new methods there)
Method name prefix: `claude_demo_v` (e.g., `claude_demo_v1`)
Git branch: `loop/demo` (always commit changes in this branch, create if it doesn't exist)
HOW TO WORK
Study what exists — read the best-performing methods in `claudini/methods/`, read benchmark results in `results/`, understand what ideas have been tried. Then design something better, implement it, and run the full benchmark. Use all GPUs on this machine. Launch runs in background and don't wait — move on to designing the next method while experiments run.
See CLAUDE.md for implementation guide and benchmark commands.
PROGRESS TRACKING
Maintain AGENT_LOG.md as your persistent memory across iterations. Before starting work, read it to understand what has been tried and what was learned.
COMMIT DISCIPLINE
Commit after every meaningful unit of work to the corresponding branch.
DON'T GIVE UP!

To run autoresearch, open [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) and start the `/claudini` skill in a loop:
```bash
claude
> /loop /claudini my_run break Qwen2.5-7B on random strings under 1e15 FLOPs
```
Each iteration, Claude studies existing methods and results, designs a new optimizer, benchmarks it, and commits — maintaining an agent log across iterations. The run code (`my_run` above) isolates the method chain, git branch, and log.
See the full [skill prompt](.claude/skills/claudini/SKILL.md) for details.
Use `tmux` or `screen` so sessions survive disconnection. Track progress via `git log`.
## Evaluate

<img src="assets/autoresearch_loop.png" width="90%" alt="Autoresearch loop: seeding, analysis-experiment cycle, evaluation">
</p>
Install [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), then start the loop:
```bash
claude
> /loop 10m $(cat PROMPT.txt)
```
Or with the [ralph-loop](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-ralph-loop) plugin:
```bash
claude
> /ralph-loop:ralph-loop $(cat PROMPT.txt)
```
The loop reads [`PROMPT.txt`](PROMPT.txt), studies existing methods and results, designs a new optimizer, implements it, runs the benchmark, and commits — all autonomously. Use tmux or screen so sessions survive disconnection. Track progress via `git log`.
Precomputed results from the paper are available as a [GitHub release](https://github.com/romovpa/claudini/releases). Download and unzip `claudini-results.zip` into the repo root.
## Attack Methods
We consider white-box GCG-style attacks that search directly over the model's vocabulary using gradients. Each method ([`TokenOptimizer`](claudini/base.py#L429)) optimizes a short discrete token *suffix* that, when appended to an input prompt, causes the model to produce a desired target sequence.
- **Baselines** (existing methods): [`claudini/methods/original/`](claudini/methods/original/)
- **Claude-deviced methods**:
- **Claude-designed methods** (each run code produces a separate chain):
- Generalizable attacks (random targets): [`claudini/methods/claude_random/`](claudini/methods/claude_random/)
- Attacks on a safeguard model: [`claudini/methods/claude_safeguard/`](claudini/methods/claude_safeguard/)
