My Self Training Claude Code Setup: I Made Claude Code TRAIN ITSELF!
Join the membership (members-only videos on every level from Bronze up): https://www.youtube.com/@AICodeKing/joinIn this video, I'll show you how to use AutoResearch with Claude Code to test whether Claude can improve the instructions it uses to fix bugs. We start with Karpathy's original AutoResearch idea and Udit Goenka's community plugin, then set up a bug-fix skill, a frozen evaluator, and three small Python bug tasks, and test the evaluator itself before paying for any runs. After that, we launch isolated trials in bare mode, write the /autoresearch loop prompt, and look at how to read candidate changes without getting fooled by overfitting to the practice tasks. Finally, we go over the real cost of the trials and how to adopt a winning version safely.

Key Takeaways:
🧠 AutoResearch borrows Karpathy's loop: change one thing, check a fixed metric, then keep or discard the change.
🔀 Here the Claude model stays the same, and only the bug-fix skill's instructions are allowed to change.
🎯 "Make Claude better at coding" has no finish line, but "solve more of these frozen bug-fixing tasks under the same limits" can be checked.
✅ The evaluator is tested first: broken code must fail, a reviewed patch must pass, and deleted or edited tests must be rejected.
💻 Trials run in bare mode with --append-system-prompt-file, so they measure the instructions rather than memory, plugins or old sessions.
⚠️ Bare mode doesn't use your Claude subscription login, so trial calls need an API key or provider credentials.
🔍 A development score can rise just because the instructions overfit three examples, so the best version is checked on held-out tasks.
💸 Three iterations still means 48 coding trials, before counting the optimizer's own thinking, setup or rehearsals.
⚡ Use --max-budget-usd, --max-turns and an external timeout, and treat reported dollar amounts as estimates.
👍 Verdict: it's worth trying on a narrow workflow you repeat often and can grade reliably. Start small, keep the grader fixed, and trust fresh-task results over the optimizer's own description.
