This is exactly how I use it. I mean not on abandoned repos, but in a benchmark - profile - verify - research - improve loop.

What’s the best way to loop it?

		6 months ago I would have said the ralph loop plugin. with opus 5, I'm finding that asking itself to write such a loop skill that does benchmark - profile - verify - research - improve, keep logs for each iteration, etc. (just like autoresearch), and then using the skill, works very nicely.
