Resume a paused experiment. Checkout the experiment branch, read results history, continue iterating. Use when the user runs /ar:ar-resume or asks to pick up a previously started autoresearch experiment.

Resume a paused or context-limited experiment. Reads all history and continues where you left off.
/ar:ar-resume # List experiments, let user pick
/ar:ar-resume engineering/api-speed # Resume specific experimentIf no experiment specified:
python {skill_path}/scripts/setup_experiment.py --listShow status for each (active/paused/done based on results.tsv age). Let user pick.
# Checkout the experiment branch
git checkout autoresearch/{domain}/{name}
# Read config
cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/config.cfg
# Read strategy
cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/program.md
# Read full results history
cat .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/results.tsv
# Read recent git log for the branch
git log --oneline -20Summarize for the user:
Resuming: engineering/api-speed
Target: src/api/search.py
Metric: p50_ms (lower is better)
Experiments: 23 total — 8 kept, 12 discarded, 3 crashed
Best: 185ms (-42% from baseline of 320ms)
Last experiment: "added response caching" → KEEP (185ms)
Recent patterns:
- Caching changes: 3 kept, 1 discarded (consistently helpful)
- Algorithm changes: 2 discarded, 1 crashed (high risk, low reward so far)
- I/O optimization: 2 kept (promising direction)How would you like to continue?
1. Single iteration (/ar:run) — I'll make one change and evaluate
2. Start a loop (/ar:loop) — Autonomous with scheduled interval
3. Just show me the results — I'll review and decideIf the user picks loop, hand off to /ar:loop with the experiment pre-selected.
If single, hand off to /ar:run.
