    Cool find! Karpathy's autoresearch is interesting. Squad already has some of this baked in:

    • Agents read their own history.md (accumulated knowledge from prior sessions)
    • Skills (.copilot/skills/) are reusable patterns agents extract and share
    • The Lead agent does research/analysis before routing work

    A more structured 'go research X before building' loop is captured as input for the Knowledge Library feature (#413). Thanks for the suggestion! Closing as covered by existing mechanisms + #413.
