## What it is
A semi-automated research assistant framework that augments AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, OpenCode) with workflows for academic research and software development. It provides structured support across ideation, literature review, coding, experiments, writing, and publication, with per-agent branches and Zotero integration.

## Use cases
- run a literature review with an AI coding agent
- write and revise an academic paper with Claude Code
- manage research project knowledge and citations with Zotero
- run coding experiments for a computer science research project
- get help drafting and polishing a publication
- structure an AI research workflow from ideation to submission

## When to choose
- you are a CS or AI researcher using Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code, or OpenCode
- you want structured agent workflows covering the full research lifecycle
- you need literature review, experiment, and paper-writing prompts and tooling in one place

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone GUI research tool rather than CLI-agent workflows
- you use an AI coding agent not supported by its branches
- you want fully automated research without human oversight

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
