When to use it
Compiles any research input — PDF papers, GitHub repositories, experiment logs, code directories, or raw notes — into a complete Agent-Native Research Artifact (ARA) with cognitive layer (claims, concepts, heuristics), physical layer (configs, code stubs), exploration graph, and grounded evidence. Use when ingesting a paper or codebase into a structured, machine-executable knowledge package, building an ARA from scratch, or converting research outputs into a falsifiable, agent-traversable form.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “Turn this paper into an ARA: ~/papers/lora_scaling.pdf”
- “I’ve got the repo at ./diffusion-protein-design (README, train.py, configs/sweep_v3.yaml) plus a folder of wandb logs from our runs and a Slack export where we argued about why we dropped the contact-map loss. Compile all of it into a structured, agent-traversable knowledge package in ./ara/protein, and make the dead ends explicit.”
- “My advisor wants our single-cell atlas project written up in a machine-readable form that an AI agent could follow and check, with every claim falsifiable and tied to evidence. I only have messy notes in notes.md and a few result CSVs. How do I get there?”
