# Research Prompt Registry — 30 Autonomous Research Tasks

**How it works:** Each cron job run picks the next `[ ] PENDING` prompt, executes it, and marks it `[x] DONE`. Never re-use a DONE prompt unless all are done (then cycle).

**Legend:** `[ ] PENDING` = ready for next run | `[x] DONE` = completed | `[s] SKIP` = no longer relevant
