# Research Thread: 20260515-035228-executable-autonomous-research-frameworks

## Mission

- Objective: Executable autonomous research frameworks
- Scope: Evaluate candidate sources and produce reviewable skill proposals.
- Started: 2026-05-15T03:52:28+00:00
- Owner: autonomous-research-loop
- Current status: active

## Locked Surfaces

- `researcher/rubrics/content-curation.md`
- `researcher/rubrics/skill-change.md`

- `researcher/mechanisms/registry.jsonl`
- `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`

- `researcher/scripts/validate_repo.py`
- Merge policy: agents may prepare PRs, but human approval is required for push and merge.

## Decisions

```text
T+00:00 decision: run initialized
reason: file-based research loop created durable state
evidence: researcher/runs/20260515-035228-executable-autonomous-research-frameworks
next: fill source evaluation and skill proposal

T+05:16 decision: deep research result captured
reason: Parallel returned implementable framework patterns for deterministic validation, durable scratchpads, novelty gates, pairwise skill evaluation, and auto-PR governance
evidence: sources/evidence/deep-research-summary.md
next: implement novelty and pairwise revision gates in a later loop
```

## Experiments And Evaluations

| ID | Artifact | Rubric | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| E001 | `sources/evidence/deep-research-summary.md` | content-curation | evidence captured | Full evaluation remains draft; summary provides implementation backlog |

## Open Questions

- None recorded.

## Handover Summary

- Best current candidate: deterministic validation plus durable run directories
- Rejected candidates: none yet
- Unresolved risks: source evaluation is a draft until rubric fields are completed
- Files to read first: `THREAD.md`, `sources/evidence/deep-research-summary.md`, `reports/validation-report.md`
- Next concrete action: implement novelty and pairwise revision gates

```text
2026-05-15T05:19:20+00:00 decision: closed as reference-only
reason: Seed run captured the deep-research evidence that bootstrapped the harness-engineering skill, the mechanism registry, and the researcher OS. Closed as reference-only: its raw evidence and THREAD.md remain as a worked example of the autonomous-loop lifecycle. The skill change itself was already published; no further PR derives from this run.
evidence: researcher/runs/20260515-035228-executable-autonomous-research-frameworks/reports/closure.json
next: stop run
