# Governance Autoresearch Skill

## Overview

Adapts Karpathy's autoresearch pattern to governance file improvement:
- **Research** each file's topics on X (last 7 days)
- **Cross-reference** with bookmarks data (if available in `X-Bookmarks Import/`)
- **Propose** ONE atomic change per file
- **Validate** structure and SSOT consistency
- **Keep** if it improves the file, **discard** if not
- **Commit** each kept change with `experiment:` prefix

## Prerequisites

- `X_BEARER_TOKEN` in `.env`
- Python 3.10+
- Bookmarks import data (optional, in `X-Bookmarks Import/`)

## Workflow — Execute These Steps Per File

### Step 0: Get Research Context

Run the research script for the target file:

```bash
python3 "X-Bookmarks Import/skills/governance-autoresearch/scripts/governance_research.py" "<file_path>"
```

This outputs JSON with:
- Top X posts about the file's topics (engagement-ranked)
- External links being shared
- File summary for context

### Step 1: Read the File

Read the full governance file. Note:
- Current structure and sections
- YAML frontmatter (doc_type, ssot_owner)
- Key policies, rules, or patterns defined

### Step 2: Cross-Reference Bookmarks (if available)

Check `X-Bookmarks Import/data/articles-batch-1.md`, `data/articles-batch-2.md`, `data/github-repos.md`, `data/other-sources.md` for content relevant to this file's domain. Key sources:

| Bookmark Content | Relevant To |
|-----------------|-------------|
| Claude Code Skills (Anthropic) | skill-standards, platform-adapters |
| .claude/ folder anatomy | settings, context-retrieval |
| Autoresearch / self-improving | automation loops, nightly-compound |
| Paperclip (AI company) | workflow orchestration, subagents |
| EurekaClaw (memory system) | context-retrieval, SSOT |
| evals-skills (hamelsmu) | testing, playbooks |
| project-skill-audit | skill-standards, repo-discovery |
| chrome-cdp-skill | skill-standards, platform-adapters |
| Self-learning agents (Cursor) | principles, AGENTS.md |
| SOTA memory system | context-retrieval, sources-of-truth |

### Step 3: Propose ONE Atomic Change

Based on research findings, propose exactly ONE change. Types of valid changes:

1. **Add a new section** — a concept the community is converging on that the file doesn't cover
2. **Strengthen an existing rule** — add specificity based on real-world patterns
3. **Add a reference/link** — point to a new tool, pattern, or standard
4. **Update terminology** — align with current ecosystem language
5. **Add a gotcha/anti-pattern** — something the community has learned the hard way

### Anti-patterns (DO NOT do these):

- Do NOT rewrite entire files
- Do NOT change SSOT owners or frontmatter without explicit approval
- Do NOT add speculative features — only things with community evidence
- Do NOT duplicate content already in another governance file
- Do NOT remove existing rules without evidence they're harmful
- Do NOT add content unrelated to the file's stated scope

### Step 4: Validate

Before applying, check:

1. **Structure preserved** — YAML frontmatter intact, heading hierarchy maintained
2. **SSOT consistency** — no contradictions with AGENTS.md or other governance files
3. **No duplication** — content doesn't exist elsewhere in the governance pack
4. **Evidence-backed** — change is supported by X research or bookmarks data
5. **Minimal diff** — smallest change that captures the insight

Run validation if available:
```bash
python3 scripts/check_governance_core.py
```

### Step 5: Apply or Discard

- If validation passes: apply the change using Edit tool
- If validation fails: discard and record why
- Record the outcome either way

### Step 6: Report

For each file, output:

```
FILE: <path>
STATUS: KEPT | DISCARDED
CHANGE: <one-line description>
EVIDENCE: <X post URL or bookmark reference>
REASON: <why this improves the governance framework>
```

## Running the Full Loop

To process all governance files sequentially:

1. Get the file list:
```bash
python3 "X-Bookmarks Import/skills/governance-autoresearch/scripts/governance_research.py" --list
```

2. For each file, execute Steps 0-6 above.

3. After all files, run full validation:
```bash
python3 scripts/check_governance_core.py
```

## Scoring (How to Judge Quality)

A change is worth keeping if it meets ALL of:
- [ ] Adds genuinely new information not derivable from existing docs
- [ ] Supported by 2+ X posts or 1 high-engagement post (>100 likes)
- [ ] Fits the file's existing scope and doc_type
- [ ] Does not weaken existing rules
- [ ] Passes structural validation

## Rate Limit Awareness

- X API recent search: 180 requests / 15 minutes
- Each file uses 2-3 search queries
- Full loop (~27 files) uses ~80 queries — well within limits
- If rate-limited, wait and resume from the last file
