Autonomous Research Solver

Autonomously research a hard, measurable problem and return a verified solution.

When to use

  • Someone hands you a hard problem and wants it solved, not just described.
  • The problem is measurable: there is a correct answer or a testable outcome.

Procedure

  1. Restate the problem as a falsifiable question with a success criterion.
  2. Break it into sub-questions; plan which tools (web search, code exec, math) answer each.
  3. Iterate: gather evidence, attempt a solution, run the verification, refine. Loop until the success criterion passes.
  4. Cite sources for every factual claim.
  5. Return: the answer, the method, the evidence, and what remains uncertain.

Pitfalls

  • Don't stop at a plausible-sounding answer; always run the verification step.
  • If the problem is not measurable, say so and ask for a success criterion before deep work.

Verification

  • The final answer must pass the stated success criterion, with evidence you can point to.
