  1. autoresearch

    AI agents running research on single-GPU nanochat training automatically

    If you want to understand what a well-designed loop looks like in practice, look at Karpathy's autoresearch.

  3. autoresearch-skill

    Autonomous research loop skill for LLM agents — inspired by Karpathy's autoresearch. Define a goal, let the agent iterate.

    The ecosystem followed immediately. autoresearch-skill turned Karpathy's pattern into a portable skill for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI.

  4. superpowers

    An agentic skills framework & software development methodology that works.

    Meanwhile, the ecosystem materialized. obra/superpowers shipped a complete software development methodology built on composable skills — 1,276+ stars and growing. The cobusgreyling/loop-engineering repo cataloged patterns from Osmani and Cherny into a practical reference.

  5. loop-engineering

    Practical patterns, starters & CLI tools for loop engineering with AI coding agents. Design systems that prompt and orchestrate agents (inspired by Addy Osmani and Boris Cherny). Includes loop-audit, loop-init, loop-cost.
