Kalaris Labs documentation: AI research, benchmarks and agent tools

Kalaris Labs is an independent AI research lab building the infrastructure for the agentic era. Agents now write code, transact, negotiate and coordinate for people and institutions. Everyone is building the agents; we build what they stand on: harnesses, protocols, markets and mandates, simulations, and evaluations that are hard to game.

The rules have to exist before the actors do. Read about the lab or the FAQ.

This site holds our published research, our benchmarks and evaluation methods, and the documentation for every open-source tool we ship. Every project works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf, and every page is also served as Markdown so an agent can read it directly.

Research papers

17 preprints on self-improving agents, agent economies, evaluation, inference and neuroscience.

Benchmarks and evals

PrincipalBench v2, HiddenLaw and the evaluation rules we hold our own claims to.

For AI agents

MCP servers, llms.txt, skill.md and copy-paste setup for Claude, Codex, Cursor and others.

Set up with your agent

Paste this prompt into your coding agent. It recommends the right project for your repository, waits for your approval, and checks the result.

You are setting up Kalaris Labs tools in this project. Docs: https://docs.kalarislabs.com

Step 1: Read this repository and tell me what it contains (papers, data analysis, agent skills, other).
Step 2: Recommend one or both of these, with one line on why for this repo:
  - Research Agent Skills: skills for academic writing, literature review, citation checks and
    scientific data analysis. Install: npx skills add KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills
  - Skill Doctor: an offline security scanner for agent skills and MCP servers.
    Scan: npx @security.kalarislabs/skill-doctor scan-all .
Step 3: Wait for my approval before installing anything or changing files.
Step 4: After installing, run one small task that proves it works and show me the output.
