# Autoresearch Examples
This directory contains example research projects using the autoresearch methodology.
## Available Examples
### `lora-rank-study.md`
**Question:** Does LoRA rank affect convergence speed on small datasets?
**Type:** Benchmark optimization, hyperparameter study
**Skills Used:**
- `arxiv` — Literature search
- `mlops` — Model training
- `tensorboard` — Experiment tracking
**Key Takeaway:** Higher rank improves convergence speed up to a point (r=16), then diminishing returns.

## Creating Your Own Research
1. Start with `/autoresearch "your question"`
2. Follow the two-loop architecture
3. Commit protocols before running
4. Generate progress reports with `/research-report`
## Tips from Examples
- **Start small:** First experiment should complete in <30 minutes
- **Define metrics upfront:** Know what you're measuring before you start
- **Document surprises:** Negative results are progress too
- **Show your work:** Progress reports help humans follow along
