Description
CPU-based autonomous optimization loop for skill quality improvement. Runs experiments, evaluates results, keeps improvements. Use when: 自主优化, skill optimiza...
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent for its stated purpose but grants an agent the ability to edit, run, and commit code inside a target directory — an action with high potential impact. Before installing or running it: (1) only point it at a disposable or sandboxed repository (not production code or repos containing secrets); (2) require and verify human review of diffs before any git commit; (3) ensure the platform enforces the checkpoints (don’t rely solely on prose in SKILL.md); (4) inspect any run_loop.py/experiment.py provided by the target repo before execution; (5) monitor subprocess calls and network activity while the skill runs. If the publisher can supply the actual run_loop.py implementation and an explicit enforcement mechanism for confirmations and sandboxing, re-evaluate — that information would raise confidence and could change this assessment to benign.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: shike-autoresearch Version: 1.0.0 The skill implements an autonomous 'optimization loop' that explicitly instructs the AI agent to modify Python code (experiment.py) and execute it via subprocess. While the stated intent is skill optimization based on Karpathy's autoresearch, this architecture facilitates self-modifying code and arbitrary execution, which is a high-risk pattern. Although SKILL.md includes human-in-the-loop checkpoints to verify changes, the core functionality provides a direct mechanism for potential RCE if the agent is misdirected or the loop is automated without oversight.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (autoresearch / optimization loop) align with the actions described: editing experiment.py, running experiments, recording results, and using git to commit/revert. Requiring git and python3 is proportionate to that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md explicitly instructs the agent to modify experiment.py, run subprocesses, execute experiments, write results.tsv, and run git commit/revert inside a target directory. While the document defines human confirmation checkpoints, it does not ship any run_loop.py or experiment scripts and gives broad discretion to change code in the target—this grants the agent the ability to make arbitrary changes to files in the target path and to execute them. There is no enforcement mechanism described to limit file scope, prevent exfiltration, or require the human confirmations to actually occur before commits.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files to execute from the package. This minimizes install-time risks (nothing downloaded or written by an installer).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or special config paths are requested by the skill metadata. The operations described (file edits, subprocess runs, git) do not require additional external credentials from the skill itself. This is proportionate, though edits could indirectly cause the target project to use its own secrets if present.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true (so it won't be force-included), and disable-model-invocation is false (normal). However, because the skill's core behavior is to autonomously modify and run code and to commit/revert changes, allowing autonomous invocation without additional safety controls increases risk: the agent could make and commit changes without adequate human review unless the platform or agent enforces the SKILL.md checkpoints.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install shike-autoresearch
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /shike-autoresearch
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
shike-autoresearch 1.0.0 - Initial release of a CPU-based autonomous optimization loop for improving skill quality. - Runs experiments, evaluates results, and keeps improvements in a continuous self-optimizing cycle. - Features user-confirmable checkpoints for direction, code changes, result acceptance, and periodic review. - Uses a three-file architecture: config.py (read-only), experiment.py (agent-modified), and results.tsv (auto-appended). - Supports scenarios like skill package optimization, strategy backtesting, and content creation testing. - Includes automatic and manual stop conditions and command-line usage options.
