uditgoenka/autoresearch v1.4.0

v1.4.0 — Replace /loop with native Iterations: N config

on GitHub

Breaking Change

/loop N /autoresearch no longer recommended. Use Iterations: N inline config instead.

Why

Claude Code's /loop command is a scheduler (runs on time intervals like /loop 5m /foo), NOT an iteration counter. When users typed /loop 5 /autoresearch, Claude interpreted "5" as "5 minutes" and scheduled a recurring task — not 5 iterations. (#24)

New Syntax

Before (broken):

/loop 25 /autoresearch
Goal: Increase test coverage to 90%

After (correct):

/autoresearch
Goal: Increase test coverage to 90%
Iterations: 25

For CI/CD:

claude -p "/autoresearch:security --fail-on critical --iterations 10"

What Changed

• All 16 documentation files updated — zero /loop references remain
• Iterations: N is now a first-class inline config parameter
• --iterations N flag supported for CLI/CI/CD contexts
• Works with all subcommands: /autoresearch, :debug, :fix, :security, :ship
