autoresearch and diary agent skills

I keep adding to and refining my agents skills repo.

Just yesterday I added an autoresearch skill (inspired by Karpathy, of course) which helped me find some nice performance optimizations in a 7 year old, quite simple project. Not bad for half an hour background work!

Also, I added a diary skill, which is a super nice pattern to log not only what was changed by an agent, but also the intent, what was tried, what worked and didn't work, and more. All this on a higher level than a raw conversation log, which is practically unusable.
