autoresearch alternatives
Curated alternatives to autoresearch — and why you'd switch.
loop-engineering
Reference repo plus npm CLIs (loop-init/audit/cost) for loop engineering: designing scheduled, gated control loops that prompt and orchestrate AI coding agents — Grok, Claude Code, Codex — over time.
Why switchBoth operationalize 'the loop is the unit of progress': loop-engineering is the design methodology and CLIs for building gated loops; autoresearch is one specific, proven loop shipped as an installable skill.
Full comparison →loopy
A public library of reusable AI-agent loops plus Loopy, an installable skill that helps agents find, audit, adapt, run and publish loops from the live catalog.
Why switchBoth distribute reusable agent loops: autoresearch is one loop (Karpathy's research iteration) as an installable skill; Loopy is a whole catalog of loops plus find/audit/run tooling.
