What You Get

Skills (LLM-powered)

Skill	Description
research-pipeline	End-to-end orchestrator. Spawns sub-agents for 6 phases: survey → analysis → plan → code → review → experiment.
literature-survey	Search arXiv + OpenAlex → filter → download .tex sources → cluster → generate survey report.
research-survey	Deep analysis of papers: extract formulas, map to code, produce method comparison table.
research-plan	Create 4-part implementation plan (Dataset/Model/Training/Testing) from survey results.
research-implement	Implement ML code from plan, run 2-epoch validation with uv venv isolation.
research-review	Review implementation. Iterates fix → rerun → review up to 3 times.
research-experiment	Full training + ablation experiments. Requires review PASS.
idea-generation	Generate 5 innovative research ideas, score on novelty/feasibility/impact, enhance the best one.
write-review-paper	Draft a review/survey paper from project research outputs.

Commands (Direct, no LLM)

Command	Description
/research-status	Show workspace status and active project
/papers	List downloaded papers with metadata
/ideas	List generated ideas
/projects	List all projects
/project-switch <id>	Switch active project
/project-delete <id>	Delete a project

Tools

Tool	Description
arxiv_search	Search arXiv papers. Returns metadata (title, authors, abstract, ID). Supports sorting by relevance/date.
arxiv_download	Batch download papers by arXiv ID. Prefers .tex source (PDF fallback).
openalex_search	Search cross-disciplinary papers via OpenAlex API. Returns DOI, authors, citation count, OA status.
unpaywall_download	Download open access PDFs by DOI via Unpaywall. Non-OA papers silently skipped.
github_search	Search GitHub repositories. Returns name, description, stars, URL. Supports language filtering.
paper_browser	Paginated browsing of large paper files (.tex/.md) to avoid context overflow.
