+<Autoresearch_Mode>
+When arguments include `--autoresearch`, Deep Interview becomes the zero-learning-curve setup lane for the stateful `autoresearch` skill.
+
+- If no usable mission brief is present yet, start by asking: **"What should autoresearch improve or prove for this repo?"**
+- After the mission is clear, collect an evaluator command. If the user leaves it blank, infer one only when repo evidence is strong; otherwise keep interviewing until an evaluator is explicit enough to launch safely.
+- Keep the usual one-question-per-round rule, but treat **mission clarity** and **evaluator clarity** as hard readiness gates in addition to the normal ambiguity threshold.
+- Once ready, do **not** bridge into `omc-plan`, `autopilot`, `ralph`, `team`, or the hard-deprecated `omc autoresearch` CLI. Instead write the mission/evaluator setup artifacts and invoke:
+  - `Skill("oh-my-copilot:autoresearch")`
+- This handoff enters the real stateful autoresearch skill. After a successful handoff, announce the mission slug, evaluator command/script, max-runtime ceiling, and artifact location.

+### Core Principle
+
+Reusable skills are not code snippets to copy-paste, but **principles and decision-making heuristics** that teach Claude HOW TO THINK about a class of problems.
 
 **The difference:**
 - BAD (mimicking): "When you see ConnectionResetError, add this try/except block"
 - GOOD (reusable skill): "In async network code, any I/O operation can fail independently due to client/server lifecycle mismatches. The principle: wrap each I/O operation separately, because failure between operations is the common case, not the exception."
 
-A good skill changes how Copilot APPROACHES problems, not just what code it produces.
-
-## Why This Matters
-
-Before extracting a skill, ask yourself:
-- "Could someone Google this in 5 minutes?" → If yes, STOP. Don't extract.
-- "Is this specific to THIS codebase?" → If no, STOP. Don't extract.
-- "Did this take real debugging effort to discover?" → If no, STOP. Don't extract.
+### Quality Gate
 
-If a potential skill fails any of these questions, it's not worth saving.

 ## The Insight
 What is the underlying PRINCIPLE you discovered? Not the code, but the mental model.
-Example: "Async I/O operations are independently failable. Client lifecycle != server lifecycle."
 
 ## Why This Matters
 What goes wrong if you don't know this? What symptom led you here?
-Example: "Proxy server crashes on client disconnect, taking down other requests."
 
 ## Recognition Pattern
 How do you know when this skill applies? What are the signs?
-Example: "Building any long-lived connection handler (proxy, websocket, SSE)"
 
 ## The Approach
-The decision-making heuristic, not just code. How should Copilot THINK about this?
-Example: "For each I/O operation, ask: what if this fails right now? Handle it locally."
+The decision-making heuristic, not just code. How should Claude THINK about this?
