Howard Li 762b582704 feat(skills): add autoresearch skill for autonomous research orchestration 
Add a new research skill that enables continuous, self-directed research
with a two-loop architecture:

- Inner loop: Rapid experiment iteration with measurable outcomes
- Outer loop: Periodic synthesis, pattern discovery, and direction setting

Features:
- Research workspace templates (state, findings, log)
- Example project (LoRA rank study)
- Configuration options for loop intervals and auto-commit
- Integration with existing research skills (arxiv, paper-writing)

Updated research/DESCRIPTION.md to include autoresearch in the skill overview.
