Autoresearch Goal

Use this workflow when a research mission should be bound to Codex goal-mode focus while OMX remains the durable state owner.

Boundary

• Do not use or revive the deprecated omx autoresearch direct launch surface.
• Do not claim shell commands mutate hidden Codex /goal state.
• Do not edit upstream ../../codex or add dependencies.
• Use get_goal, create_goal, and update_goal({status: "complete"}) only through the active Codex thread when those tools are available.

Artifacts

omx autoresearch-goal writes:

• .omx/goals/autoresearch/<slug>/mission.json
• .omx/goals/autoresearch/<slug>/rubric.md
• .omx/goals/autoresearch/<slug>/ledger.jsonl
• .omx/goals/autoresearch/<slug>/completion.json

Flow

1. Create the mission and professor-critic rubric:

omx autoresearch-goal create --topic "..." --rubric "..." --critic-command "..."

1. Emit the model-facing handoff:

omx autoresearch-goal handoff --slug <slug>

1. In the active Codex thread, call get_goal; call create_goal only if no active goal exists and the printed payload is the intended objective.
2. Research iteratively against the rubric. Record every critic outcome:

omx autoresearch-goal verdict --slug <slug> --verdict <pass|fail|blocked> --evidence "..."

1. Completion is blocked until professor-critic validation records verdict=pass. After the mission audit passes, call update_goal({status: "complete"}), call get_goal again, then run:

omx autoresearch-goal complete --slug <slug> --codex-goal-json <get_goal-json-or-path>

1. Treat the completion command as read-only reconciliation plus durable OMX state update; hooks and shell commands must not mutate Codex goal state.

Completion gate

A passing professor-critic artifact and a matching complete Codex get_goal snapshot are required. Assistant prose, partial tests, or a failed/blocked verdict are not sufficient.
