Prefer papers, official documentation, datasets, code, and direct experimental results over commentary.\n- Separate observations from inferences, and state uncertainty explicitly.\n- When a claim depends on recent literature or unstable facts, use tools before answering.\n- For papers, use the alpha tools (`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, `alpha_read_code`) and `feynman_science_database_search`. In a shell, call `feynman alpha ...`, not a bare global `alpha`. On macOS and Linux run Python as `python3`; `python` is often missing there.\n- For current topics (products, releases, pricing, benchmarks, docs, regulations, anything latest/current/recent), use `web_search` and `fetch_content` first. Never answer a current question from paper search alone. For mixed topics, use both.\n- Cite title, year, and a direct URL or identifier; prefer arXiv or alphaXiv links with the arXiv ID. Source-based answers end with a Sources section of direct URLs.\n\nTools:\n- Call only tools in your tool list. If a call returns `Tool not found` or `Invalid URL`, do not repeat it; use a listed tool or record the capability as blocked.\n- To ask the user something, write plain chat text and wait for their reply.\n- If a tool, source, or network route fails, record the failure and still write the requested artifact with a clear `Blocked` or `Unverified` status instead of stopping with chat-only prose.\n\nDelegation:\n- Use the `researcher`, `writer`, `verifier`, and `reviewer` subagents when decomposition reduces context pressure or parallelizes evidence gathering. Keep delegation internal; do not make the user manage it.\n- To run several subagents in one call, write the workflow script to `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, and only after that write has succeeded, in a later tool call, call `subagent` with `workflow` set to that path. Do not use `workflow: true`: it needs a fenced block in the visible reply and fails when the block is only in your reasoning.\n- A workflow is finished only when its final artifact is on disk. Before your final response, wait with `bg_wait` for every subagent whose result the artifact still needs; a launch receipt is not a result.\n- For long workflows, write the plan to disk early and keep its task ledger and verification log current. If `CHANGELOG.md` exists in the workspace, read it before resuming substantial work and append concise entries after meaningful progress, failures, verification results, or blockers. Do not create it for one-shot tasks.\n- Prefer the smallest investigation or experiment that can reduce uncertainty. When an experiment is warranted, write the code, run it, and save outputs to disk.\n\nIntegrity:\n- Never invent results, scores, datasets, sample sizes, ablations, tables, figures, or quantitative comparisons. If data is missing, write a labeled placeholder such as `TODO: run experiment`.\n- Every quantitative claim, figure, or table must trace to a source URL, research note, raw artifact path, or command output. Otherwise omit it or mark it as a planned measurement.\n- For calculations or code, define the minimal checks before implementing and record their results before delivery. Treat results that look cleaner than expected as suspect until checked.\n- Say `verified`, `confirmed`, `checked`, or `reproduced` only when you performed the check and can point to its evidence.\n- Say an edit or fix was applied only after the write succeeded and a read, `grep`, or `diff` of the file shows it. If an edit fails, retry with a smaller edit or a full-file rewrite.\n- When a verification pass finds one issue, keep looking for others.\n\nArtifacts:\n- Deliver one canonical Markdown artifact per workflow unless the user asks for more. Intermediate notes and logs are fine when they reduce context pressure or improve auditability.\n- Locations: `outputs/` for reviews, reading lists, and summaries; `papers/` for paper-style drafts; `experiments/` for experiment code and logs; `notes/` for scratch notes.\n- Verify the artifact exists on disk before the final response. If evidence is incomplete, save a partial artifact that marks missing checks `blocked`, `unverified`, or `not run`.\n- Use Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons, Mermaid for processes and architectures, and LaTeX when equations clarify the argument.\n- A default deliverable covers: summary, strongest evidence, disagreements or gaps, open questions, next steps, and sources.\n\nStyle:\n- Concise, skeptical, and explicit. No fake certainty.\n- When greeting or asked who you are, identify yourself as Feynman.\n","AGENTS.md":"# Agents\n\n`AGENTS.md` is the repo-level contract for agents working in this repository.\n\nPi subagent behavior does **not** live here. The source of truth for bundled Pi subagents is `.feynman/agents/*.md`, which the runtime syncs into the Pi agent directory. If you need to change how `researcher`, `reviewer`, `writer`, or `verifier` behave, edit the corresponding file in `.feynman/agents/` instead of duplicating those prompts here.\n\n## Pi subagents\n\nFeynman ships four bundled research subagents:\n\n- `researcher`\n- `reviewer`\n- `writer`\n- `verifier`\n\nThey are defined in `.feynman/agents/` and invoked via the Pi `subagent` tool.\n\n## What belongs here\n\nKeep this file focused on cross-agent repo conventions:\n\n- output locations and file naming expectations\n- workspace-level continuity expectations for long-running work\n- provenance and verification requirements\n- handoff rules between the lead agent and subagents\n\nDo **not** restate per-agent prompt text here unless there is a repo-wide constraint that applies to all agents.\n\n## Feature scope\n\nFeynman must stay simple yet potent. It is an AI researcher, not a bundle of adjacent productivity workflows.\n\nEvery new feature must fight for its life before implementation. Keep or add a feature only when it directly improves at least one core research job:\n\n- discovering relevant papers, code, datasets, or prior art\n- reading, extracting, and understanding paper content\n- ranking evidence, methods, reproducibility, or citation structure\n- verifying claims against sources, code, data, or experiments\n- planning or running reproductions and research experiments\n- synthesizing research into auditable artifacts\n- visualizing research structure when the visualization changes a research decision\n- improving speed, observability, provenance, or reliability of the research loop\n\nReject adjacent product lanes by default. Funding, proposal, sales, admin, generic writing, and project-management workflows do not belong in Feynman unless the user explicitly scopes them as support for a specific active research run.\n\nBefore adding a command, prompt, tool, extension, dashboard, document page, or release-note item, state the core research job it serves and the smallest existing surface that can absorb it. If the value is not concrete and testable, do not add it.\n\n## Pi runtime changes\n\n- Feynman wraps Pi. Before changing telemetry, tools, extensions, runtime package setup, model/prompt handoff, or child-process env, read the installed Pi package version, `node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/docs/`, and the matching runtime source.\n- Before writing a local Pi extension or tool shim, search Pi package docs plus npm/GitHub for an existing Pi extension or plugin; use the existing package, patch it, or record why it fails before adding a Feynman-owned implementation.\n- Treat parent CLI wiring as incomplete until the actual Pi launch path is verified: check `src/pi/launch.ts`, `src/pi/runtime.ts`, the package `pi` manifest, the `packages` entries `ensureFeynmanSettings` writes, and every extension those packages load. `node scripts/check-pi-rpc.mjs` boots the CLI in RPC mode and checks what loaded.\n- For observability changes, verify session/agent/tool lifecycle coverage inside Pi itself and keep prompts, tool arguments, paper text, and file paths out of emitted telemetry.\n\n## Docs parity\n\n- For user-visible changes, completion includes public-facing docs parity: update `README.md`, `RELEASES.md`, `metadata/commands.mjs`, and the `website/` docs/pages when they describe the changed command, setup flow, tool, or runtime state. `CHANGELOG.md` and plan files are internal trackers only.\n\n## Output conventions\n\n- Research outputs go in `outputs/`.\n- Paper-style drafts go in `papers/`.\n- Session logs go in `notes/`.\n- The workspace-level lab notebook lives at `CHANGELOG.md`.\n- Plan artifacts for long-running workflows go in `outputs/.plans/`.\n- Intermediate research artifacts are written to disk by subagents and read by the lead agent. They are not returned inline unless the user explicitly asks for them.\n- Long-running workflows should treat the plan artifact as an externalized working memory, not a static outline. Keep task status and verification state there as the run evolves.\n- Long-running or resumable workflows should also treat `CHANGELOG.md` as the chronological lab notebook: what changed, what failed, what was verified, and what should happen next.\n- Do not create or update `CHANGELOG.md` for trivial one-shot tasks.\n\n## File naming\n\nEvery workflow that produces artifacts must derive a short **slug** from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words — e.g. `cloud-sandbox-pricing`). All files in a single run use that slug as a prefix:\n\n- Plan: `outputs/.plans/<slug>.md`\n- Intermediate research: `<slug>-research-web.md`, `<slug>-research-papers.md`, etc.\n- Draft: `outputs/.drafts/<slug>-draft.md`\n- Cited brief: `<slug>-brief.md`\n- Verification: `<slug>-verification.md`\n- Final output: `outputs/<slug>.md` or `papers/<slug>.md`\n- Provenance: `<slug>.provenance.md` (next to the final output)\n\nNever use generic names like `research.md`, `draft.md`, `brief.md`, or `summary.md`. Concurrent runs must not collide.\n\n## Workspace changelog\n\n- `CHANGELOG.md` is a local, untracked lab notebook (ignored by git), not release notes. Release notes live in `RELEASES.md`.\n- Read `CHANGELOG.md` before resuming substantial work when it exists.\n- Append concise entries after meaningful progress, failed approaches, major verification results, or new blockers.\n- Each entry should identify the active slug or objective and end with the next recommended step.\n- Mark verification state honestly with labels such as `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred` only when they match the underlying evidence.\n\n## Provenance and verification\n\n- Every output from `/deepresearch` and `/lit` must include a `.provenance.md` sidecar.\n- Provenance sidecars should record source accounting and verification status.\n- Source verification and citation cleanup belong in the `verifier` stage, not in ad hoc edits after delivery.\n- Verification passes should happen before delivery when the workflow calls for them.\n- If a workflow uses the words `verified`, `confirmed`, or `checked`, the underlying artifact should record what was actually checked and how.\n- For quantitative or code-backed outputs, keep raw artifact paths, scripts, or logs that support the final claim. Do not rely on polished summaries alone.\n- Never smooth over missing checks. Mark work as `blocked`, `unverified`, or `inferred` when that is the honest status.\n\n## Delegation rules\n\n- The lead agent plans, delegates, synthesizes, and delivers.\n- Use subagents when the work is meaningfully decomposable; do not spawn them for trivial work.\n- Prefer file-based handoffs over dumping large intermediate results back into parent context.\n- The lead agent is responsible for reconciling task completion. Subagents may not silently skip assigned tasks; skipped or merged tasks must be recorded in the plan artifact.\n- For critical claims, require at least one adversarial verification pass after synthesis. Fix fatal issues before delivery or surface them explicitly.\n","CLAUDE.md":"AGENTS.md","evals/README.md":"# Research-quality evals\n\nA small fixed eval for Feynman's research workflows. It runs `/lit` (or `/deepresearch`) on each question in `questions.jsonl`, then scores the artifacts with deterministic checks against arXiv, Crossref and doi.org. No LLM judge.\n\nThis directory is not in the npm package (`package.json` `files` does not list it).\n\n## Rule\n\nRun the eval before and after any change to prompts (`prompts/`, `.feynman/agents/`, `.feynman/SYSTEM.md`, `skills/`), tools, extensions, or the Pi version. Use the same model and question ids for both runs, and commit both result files with the change.\n\n## Run\n\nBuild first (`npm ci && npm run build`). Each question gets a fresh temp workspace and its own `FEYNMAN_HOME`, so your real `~/.feynman` is never read or written. The model's provider comes from a `models.json` that is copied into each isolated home. Example for an OpenAI-compatible gateway (the key is read from the environment and never written to disk):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"providers\": {\n    \"ferrylane-openai\": {\n      \"baseUrl\": \"https://gateway.ferrylane.ai/v1\",\n      \"api\": \"openai-responses\",\n      \"apiKey\": \"$FERRYLANE_API_KEY\",\n      \"models\": [\n        { \"id\": \"gpt-5.6-terra\", \"reasoning\": true, \"input\": [\"text\"], \"contextWindow\": 400000, \"maxTokens\": 64000 }\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nexport FERRYLANE_API_KEY=\"$(cat ~/.ferrylane/api-key)\"\nnode evals/run.mjs --model ferrylane-openai/gpt-5.6-terra --models-json /path/to/models.json \\\n  [--ids q01,q04] [--workflow lit|deepresearch] [--concurrency 2] [--timeout-min 45]\n```\n\nBuilt-in providers work the same way; pass their API key env var (for example `OPENAI_API_KEY`) and omit `--models-json`.\n\n`--workflow deepresearch` sends one approval turn (`--continue`) after the plan gate. `--rescore evals/results/<file>.jsonl` re-scores the kept workdirs without rerunning Feynman, which is useful after a scorer change.\n\nOutput goes to `evals/results/<date>-<workflow>-<model>.jsonl` (one row per question: git SHA, dirty flag, Feynman version, scores, citation failures, usage, and the `workdir` (under `~/.cache/feynman-evals/` by default, `--work-root` to change) holding the full workspace, session JSONL and `feynman.log`) and a `.md` summary table.\n\n## Scores\n\n| Column | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| `done` | A final `outputs/<slug>.md` exists with its `outputs/<slug>.provenance.md` sidecar. |\n| `cites` | Distinct arXiv IDs and DOIs in the final output. |\n| `valid` | Share of those identifiers that resolve (arXiv API `id_list`; Crossref, falling back to the doi.org handle API for non-Crossref DOIs). Lookups that fail on the network are left out. Unresolvable IDs are listed in `unresolved`. |\n| `title` | Among resolved IDs with a known title, the share that match the output: the resolved title is at least 60% present (by word tokens) on a line that carries the ID, or, for author-year citations, the resolved first author's surname is on that line. Low values flag IDs attached to the wrong paper; see `title_mismatch`. Short-name citations (\"When2Think, arXiv:…\") also miss, so read the listed rows before calling something a hallucination. |\n| `recall` | Share of the question's expected key papers that appear in the final output, by any listed identifier or by exact normalized title. 0 when there is no final output. |\n| `wall`, `tokens`, `cost` | Wall time for the whole run, and token and cost totals summed over every Pi session file in the isolated home and temp dir (parent and subagent sessions, deduplicated). Cost is 0 when the provider's `models.json` entry has no `cost` block. |\n\nThe first baseline, `results/2026-09-23-lit-ferrylane-openai_claude-sonnet-5.*`, ran q01, q04, q07 and q10 on Feynman 0.5.0. It used `claude-sonnet-5` through the Ferrylane gateway because the gateway's GPT quota was exhausted that day.\n\nTreat a single run as noisy. Compare before and after on the same ids, and look at the listed failures rather than only the percentages.\n\n## Questions\n\n`questions.jsonl` has 12 questions, each with expected key papers and a `source`:\n\n- `q01`–`q06`: the six queries from Feynman's paper-discovery search benchmark (test-time compute, speculative decoding, sparse autoencoders, CRISPR base editing, mixture of experts, RAG).\n- `q07`–`q09`: verbatim questions from LitQA2 ([futurehouse/lab-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/futurehouse/lab-bench), CC-BY-SA-4.0). The key paper is the item's `sources` DOI. These three items are redistributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 with that attribution.\n- `q10`–`q12`: hand-authored topics outside ML and biology (econometrics, weather forecasting, cosmology) whose key papers are unambiguous.\n\nKeep the set fixed. Adding or editing a question breaks comparison with earlier result files; if you must, bump the question id instead of reusing one.\n\nNext lanes, not built yet: ScholarQA-CS2 (AstaBench) citation precision and recall for `/lit`, DeepResearch Bench FACT for `/deepresearch`, and SciCoQA's 92 real paper–code discrepancies for `/audit` recall.\n","skills/alpha-research/SKILL.md":"---\nname: alpha-research\ndescription: Search, read, and query research papers via Feynman's alphaXiv-backed alpha tools.

It searches paper databases and the web, reads the most relevant sources, and writes an evidence file that the lead agent synthesizes. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/researcher.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe researcher receives a task brief from a workflow, searches broadly, then narrows using the terminology and names it finds. It runs 2–4 reworded queries for each question and merges the results instead of trusting one query's ranking.\n\nFor broad deep research and literature review tasks, workflow prompts can run several researchers in parallel through one async workflow script, `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, using `await runs.all([{key, agent, task, output}, ...])` and run with `subagent({ workflow: \"./outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js\" })`, each covering a different angle. The lead agent consumes the ordered results and verifies the declared output files before synthesis. Narrow tasks skip the researcher and stay lead-owned.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe researcher runs with high thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, `feynman_science_database_search`, and the Hugging Face tools `hf_dataset_info`, `hf_repo_files`, and `hf_repo_read_file`. It does not load the `alpha_*` tools; it uses `feynman alpha search` through the shell when alphaXiv is logged in.\n\n## Source routing\n\n| Need | First choice | Then |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| General ML/CS papers | Semantic Scholar (citation-sorted) | `feynman alpha search` when logged in |\n| Biomedical papers | PubMed, then Europe PMC for open-access full-text sections | Semantic Scholar for citation counts |\n| Citation graph | OpenAlex citations and references | Semantic Scholar citation counts |\n| Conceptual or recent work keyword search misses | OpenAlex semantic search | Semantic Scholar by relevance |\n| Web, docs, repos, grey literature | `web_search` | `fetch_content` on the best results |\n| Known paper ID | arXiv ID or Crossref DOI lookup | `fetch_content` on `arxiv.org/html/<id>` |\n\n## Output\n\nThe researcher writes to the output path the workflow assigns. The file contains an evidence table with stable numeric source IDs and at least five entries, findings that cite those IDs inline, a numbered Sources list with direct URLs, and a Coverage Status section listing what was checked, what remains uncertain, and any tasks it could not complete. It returns a one-line summary to the lead agent rather than the full findings.\n\nEvery source needs a checkable URL, and the researcher labels inferences separately from claims it read directly.\n\nFor ML training, replication, benchmark, or dataset tasks, it organizes findings as ranked recipes: reported result, dataset (size, split, access, schema if checked), method and hyperparameters, compute, implementation code paths, and a verification status of `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred`. A dataset is not described as usable unless its availability and format were checked.\n\n## Used by\n\nWorkflows that can delegate to the researcher: `/deepresearch`, `/lit`, `/review`, `/audit`, `/replicate`, `/recipe`, `/compare`, and `/summarize` (one researcher per chunk for very large sources).\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/reviewer.md":"---\ntitle: Reviewer\ndescription: The reviewer agent critiques research artifacts with severity-graded findings.\nsection: Agents\norder: 2\n---\n\nThe reviewer applies skeptical but fair internal research scrutiny to papers, drafts, and research artifacts. It does not predict venue acceptance; it produces a critique and a revision plan. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/reviewer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe reviewer checks novelty, clarity, empirical rigor, and reproducibility. It looks for missing or weak baselines, missing ablations, evaluation mismatches, benchmark leakage, insufficient statistical evidence, claims that outrun the experiments, sections left over from earlier drafts, notation drift, and \"verified\" statements that do not show the check behind them. It keeps looking after the first major problem.\n\nWhen a workflow frames the task as a verification pass, the reviewer acts as an adversarial auditor: a citation attached to a claim is not enough if the source does not support its exact wording.\n\n## Output\n\nThe reviewer writes two parts to the output path the workflow assigns:\n\n1. **Structured review** -- summary, strengths, weaknesses graded **FATAL**, **MAJOR**, or **MINOR**, questions for the authors, a verdict with an overall confidence score, and a prioritized revision plan.\n2. **Inline annotations** -- exact quotes from the artifact, each tied to a weakness or question ID from the structured review.\n\nEvery weakness must point to a specific passage or section. The review ends with a Sources section for anything it inspected.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/review` -- the main critique pass on larger artifacts\n- `/deepresearch` -- reviews the cited brief after the verifier finishes, when researcher subagents were used\n- `/lit` -- checks the cited review for unsupported claims, logical gaps, and single-source critical findings\n\nWorkflows fix FATAL issues before delivery and record MAJOR issues as open questions.\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/verifier.md":"---\ntitle: Verifier\ndescription: The verifier agent adds inline citations and checks every source behind a draft.\nsection: Agents\norder: 4\n---\n\nThe verifier post-processes a draft: it anchors each factual claim to a source from the research files, checks that every source URL resolves and supports the claim, and removes what cannot be supported. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/verifier.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\n1. **Anchor claims** -- insert inline citations such as `[1]` after each factual claim, merging the numbering from multiple research files into one sequence.\n2. **Verify URLs** -- fetch each source with `fetch_content`. Dead links and redirects to unrelated content are replaced with an alternative, such as an archived copy, or removed along with claims that depended only on them.\n3. **Check meaning** -- a citation counts only if the source supports the specific number, quote, or conclusion attached to it.\n4. **Check paper identity** -- look up each cited DOI or arXiv ID in two indexes (arXiv or Crossref, plus OpenAlex or Semantic Scholar) and flag any title, year, or first-author mismatch instead of keeping the citation silently.\n5. **Audit results** -- scores, benchmarks, tables, figures, dataset sizes, and claims of improvement must map to a source URL, research note, raw artifact, or script. Anything that does not is removed or turned into a TODO.\n6. **Build Sources** -- a numbered list at the end where every entry is cited at least once and every citation has an entry.\n\nIt does not use words like `verified` or `confirmed` unless the underlying evidence is present. When it removes material, it adds a short Removed Unsupported Claims section.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe verifier runs with medium thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, and `feynman_science_database_search`.\n\n## Output\n\nThe verifier writes the complete cited document to the output path the workflow assigns. It keeps the draft's structure but may delete or soften unsupported claims.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/deepresearch` -- cites the draft when researcher subagents were used, before the reviewer runs\n- `/lit` -- cites the literature review before the reviewer checks it\n- `/draft` -- cites the writer's draft\n- `/compare` -- cites the final comparison matrix\n- `/audit` -- verifies sources and adds citations for non-trivial audits\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/writer.md":"---\ntitle: Writer\ndescription: The writer agent turns research notes into structured briefs and drafts.\nsection: Agents\norder: 3\n---\n\nThe writer turns research files into a clear, structured document. It writes only from the evidence it is given and leaves citation to the verifier. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/writer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe writer reads the research files a workflow supplies and organizes them into a draft with an executive summary, themed sections, and an Open Questions section for unresolved issues, gaps, and disagreements between sources.\n\nIt does not introduce claims, tools, or sources that are not in the input files. Caveats and disagreements stay in the text, and tentative or inferred results are labeled as such. Missing results become gaps or TODOs, never plausible-looking data.\n\nThe writer has file and shell tools only (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`); it has no search or fetch tools.\n\n## Citations\n\nThe writer does not add inline citations or a Sources section. The [verifier](/docs/agents/verifier) adds both in a separate pass. Before finishing, the writer checks that every strong factual statement has an obvious home in the research files.\n\n## Visuals\n\nThe writer uses Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons and Mermaid diagrams for architectures or pipelines, only when the supplied evidence supports them. Plots use source-backed data only, with the plotting script saved next to the draft. Every visual gets a caption that names its data source.\n\n## Used by\n\nThe `/draft` workflow uses the writer when the draft should be produced from already-collected notes, then runs the verifier on its output.

Open it in a browser on any machine and finish signing in. The browser then lands on a `http://127.0.0.1:9876/callback?code=...` page that fails to load; copy that full URL, paste it into the waiting terminal, and press Enter.\n\nCheck your authentication status:\n\n```bash\nfeynman alpha status\n```\n\n## Agent tools\n\n`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, and `alpha_read_code` are available only when you are signed in; without an account, Feynman searches papers through Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and the other literature databases instead. Start a new Feynman session after `feynman alpha login` to get them.\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `alpha_search` | Search papers. Modes: `semantic` (default), `keyword`, `agentic`, `both`, `all` |\n| `alpha_get_paper` | Fetch a paper's AI-generated report, or raw full text with `fullText`, plus any local annotation. `section` or `sections` return only abstract, introduction, methodology, experiments, results, discussion, limitations, or conclusion when detectable |\n| `alpha_ask_paper` | Ask a targeted question about a paper's PDF |\n| `alpha_read_code` | Read files from a paper's GitHub repository; `/` gives an overview |\n| `alpha_annotate_paper` | Write or clear a local note on a paper |\n| `alpha_list_annotations` | List local paper notes |\n\nThe lead agent calls these tools directly. The bundled researcher agent does not load them; it runs `feynman alpha ...` through its shell instead, after checking `feynman alpha status`.\n\n## CLI\n\nThe same client is available from the terminal:\n\n```bash\nfeynman alpha search \"scaling laws\"\nfeynman alpha get 2401.12345\nfeynman alpha ask 2401.12345 \"What optimizer did they use?\"\nfeynman alpha code https://github.com/org/repo src/model.py\n```\n\n## Storage\n\nThe alphaXiv client keeps its login state and local paper annotations under `~/.ahub`, separate from Feynman's `~/.feynman` directory. Remove `~/.ahub` to clear them during uninstall.\n\n## Without AlphaXiv\n\nFeynman works without an alphaXiv login. Paper discovery then goes through `feynman_science_database_search` (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv ID lookup, PubMed, Europe PMC, bioRxiv/medRxiv, Crossref) and web search, and full text comes from `fetch_content` on arXiv or open-access pages.\n","website/src/content/docs/tools/hugging-face.md":"---\ntitle: Hugging Face Hub\ndescription: Inspect Hugging Face datasets and repository files during research workflows.\nsection: Tools\norder: 3\n---\n\nFeynman includes read-only Hugging Face Hub tools for grounding ML recipes and replication plans. They help the researcher verify whether a dataset or repo actually exposes the files, splits, schema, and card metadata needed for implementation.\n\nThese tools are grounded in Hugging Face's public [Hub API endpoint docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/api). Authentication follows the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable documented by [`huggingface_hub`](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/package_reference/environment_variables).\n\n## Authentication\n\nPublic Hub resources work without configuration. For private or gated resources, set an access token in your shell before launching Feynman:\n\n```bash\nexport HF_TOKEN=hf_...\n```\n\nIf `HF_TOKEN` is unset, Feynman uses `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`. The token is sent with every Hub request.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe lead agent and the researcher agent can call these tools:\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `hf_dataset_info` | Inspect dataset metadata, tags, access status (private, gated, disabled), card data, `dataset_info` features and splits, downloads, likes, and sibling files |\n| `hf_repo_files` | List files in a model, dataset, or Space repository (default 200 entries, max 1000) before reading anything large |\n| `hf_repo_read_file` | Read small text files from Hub repos, such as `README.md`, configs, examples, and scripts |\n\n`hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` default to dataset repos; pass `repoType: \"model\"` or `\"space\"` for others. The file reader returns 20,000 characters by default (max 60,000) and is intended for text files only. It is not a weight downloader or dataset bulk reader. It refuses model weight files, archives, and dataset shards such as `.safetensors`, `.bin`, `.gguf`, `.parquet`, `.zip`, and `.tar` before download.\n\n## Where it is used\n\nThe `/recipe` workflow uses `hf_dataset_info` to validate dataset availability and schema, and `hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` to ground implementation details, before recommending a training recipe. The researcher agent can use the same tools in any workflow that delegates ML evidence gathering to it, such as `/replicate`.\n\nFor example, a recipe using a chat SFT dataset should verify that the dataset has a `messages`, `text`, or prompt/completion-style schema before calling it usable. If Feynman cannot check that schema, the final artifact should mark the dataset as `unverified` or `blocked`.\n\n## Boundaries\n\nThese tools are read-only. They do not create repos, upload files, start jobs, or manage private data. If an experiment needs execution on Hugging Face infrastructure, Feynman records that as a follow-up implementation decision.\n","website/src/content/docs/tools/preview.md":"---\ntitle: Preview\ndescription: Render research artifacts to HTML or PDF with pandoc.\nsection: Tools\norder: 4\n---\n\nFeynman writes research artifacts as Markdown.

Feynman has no in-REPL preview command.\n\n## Setup\n\nCheck for pandoc, or install it:\n\n```bash\nfeynman setup preview\n```\n\nIf pandoc is missing, this installs it with Homebrew on macOS, `winget` on Windows, or `apt-get` on Linux. If none of those is available or the install fails, install pandoc manually from [pandoc.org](https://pandoc.org/installing.html). `feynman doctor` and `feynman status` report whether pandoc is found.\n\n## Rendering\n\n```bash\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -s -o outputs/scaling-laws.html\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -o outputs/scaling-laws.pdf\n```\n\nOpen the result in your browser or PDF viewer.

The lead agent, the researcher, and the verifier use them to find and read documentation, blog posts, news, repositories, and open-access papers alongside Feynman's paper databases.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `web_search` | Search with one query or a `queries` batch. Supports `numResults`, `recencyFilter` (`day`, `week`, `month`, `year`), `domainFilter` (prefix a domain with `-` to exclude it), `provider`, and `includeContent` to fetch page text for the results |\n| `fetch_content` | Fetch one or more URLs as readable Markdown. Handles web pages, PDFs, GitHub repos, issues, and pull requests, images, and videos. `mode: \"raw\"` returns the exact text body; `mode: \"answer\"` with a `prompt` answers a question from the page |\n| `get_search_content` | Read stored results from an earlier search or fetch by `responseId`, paged with `offset` and `limit`, or search them with `findText` |\n| `source_check` | Gather passages for a claim into an evidence artifact for manual review; it does not decide support on its own |\n\nFetched page bodies are stored for one hour in `~/.feynman/agent/web-search-cache/` so `get_search_content` can page through them without re-fetching.\n\n## Default behavior\n\nWith no key and no configuration, `web_search` works through Exa's hosted MCP endpoint. In `auto` mode it tries a configured SearXNG endpoint first; when the active model uses `openai-codex`, it then tries Codex-backed OpenAI search; otherwise it tries Exa before OpenAI, then any other provider you have configured. Browser-cookie access for Gemini Web is off unless you opt in with `allowBrowserCookies`.\n\n## Configuration\n\nCheck the current search configuration:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search status\n```\n\nSet a provider, optionally saving its API key:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search set exa <api-key>\nfeynman search set perplexity <api-key>\nfeynman search set gemini <api-key>\nfeynman search set auto\n```\n\n`feynman search set` accepts every search provider pi-web-access supports, including `brave`, `tavily`, `kagi`, `serper`, `you`, `searxng` (pass its base URL instead of a key) and `duckduckgo` (no key); run `feynman search set` with no provider to list them all. It also sets the search `workflow` to `none` (raw results, no curator window) and turns browser-cookie access off. `feynman search clear` resets the provider to `auto` and keeps saved API keys.\n\nFor fallback routes, proxies, PDF extraction and other advanced settings, edit `~/.feynman/agent/web-search.json` directly. The [pi-web-access README](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access#configuration) documents every field.\n\n## Commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `/search` | Browse stored web search results from the current session |\n| `/websearch [queries]` | Open the search curator and run searches yourself |\n| `/curator [on\\|off]` | Toggle the search curator workflow |\n| `/google-account` | Show the Google account used for Gemini Web |\n\nTo turn one of these commands off, set `commands.<name>.enabled` to `false` in `web-search.json` (keys: `websearch`, `curator`, `search`, `google-account`).\n"},"files":{".feynman/SYSTEM.md":"You are Feynman, a research-first AI agent.\n\nYour job is to investigate questions, read primary sources, compare evidence, design experiments when useful, and produce reproducible written artifacts.\n\nEvidence:\n- Evidence over fluency. Prefer papers, official documentation, datasets, code, and direct experimental results over commentary.\n- Separate observations from inferences, and state uncertainty explicitly.\n- When a claim depends on recent literature or unstable facts, use tools before answering.\n- For papers, use the alpha tools (`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, `alpha_read_code`) and `feynman_science_database_search`. In a shell, call `feynman alpha ...`, not a bare global `alpha`. On macOS and Linux run Python as `python3`; `python` is often missing there.\n- For current topics (products, releases, pricing, benchmarks, docs, regulations, anything latest/current/recent), use `web_search` and `fetch_content` first. Never answer a current question from paper search alone. For mixed topics, use both.\n- Cite title, year, and a direct URL or identifier; prefer arXiv or alphaXiv links with the arXiv ID. Source-based answers end with a Sources section of direct URLs.\n\nTools:\n- Call only tools in your tool list. If a call returns `Tool not found` or `Invalid URL`, do not repeat it; use a listed tool or record the capability as blocked.\n- To ask the user something, write plain chat text and wait for their reply.\n- If a tool, source, or network route fails, record the failure and still write the requested artifact with a clear `Blocked` or `Unverified` status instead of stopping with chat-only prose.\n\nDelegation:\n- Use the `researcher`, `writer`, `verifier`, and `reviewer` subagents when decomposition reduces context pressure or parallelizes evidence gathering. Keep delegation internal; do not make the user manage it.\n- To run several subagents in one call, write the workflow script to `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, and only after that write has succeeded, in a later tool call, call `subagent` with `workflow` set to that path. Do not use `workflow: true`: it needs a fenced block in the visible reply and fails when the block is only in your reasoning.\n- A workflow is finished only when its final artifact is on disk. Before your final response, wait with `bg_wait` for every subagent whose result the artifact still needs; a launch receipt is not a result.\n- For long workflows, write the plan to disk early and keep its task ledger and verification log current. If `CHANGELOG.md` exists in the workspace, read it before resuming substantial work and append concise entries after meaningful progress, failures, verification results, or blockers. Do not create it for one-shot tasks.\n- Prefer the smallest investigation or experiment that can reduce uncertainty. When an experiment is warranted, write the code, run it, and save outputs to disk.\n\nIntegrity:\n- Never invent results, scores, datasets, sample sizes, ablations, tables, figures, or quantitative comparisons. If data is missing, write a labeled placeholder such as `TODO: run experiment`.\n- Every quantitative claim, figure, or table must trace to a source URL, research note, raw artifact path, or command output. Otherwise omit it or mark it as a planned measurement.\n- For calculations or code, define the minimal checks before implementing and record their results before delivery. Treat results that look cleaner than expected as suspect until checked.\n- Say `verified`, `confirmed`, `checked`, or `reproduced` only when you performed the check and can point to its evidence.\n- Say an edit or fix was applied only after the write succeeded and a read, `grep`, or `diff` of the file shows it. If an edit fails, retry with a smaller edit or a full-file rewrite.\n- When a verification pass finds one issue, keep looking for others.\n\nArtifacts:\n- Deliver one canonical Markdown artifact per workflow unless the user asks for more. Intermediate notes and logs are fine when they reduce context pressure or improve auditability.\n- Locations: `outputs/` for reviews, reading lists, and summaries; `papers/` for paper-style drafts; `experiments/` for experiment code and logs; `notes/` for scratch notes.\n- Verify the artifact exists on disk before the final response. If evidence is incomplete, save a partial artifact that marks missing checks `blocked`, `unverified`, or `not run`.\n- Use Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons, Mermaid for processes and architectures, and LaTeX when equations clarify the argument.\n- A default deliverable covers: summary, strongest evidence, disagreements or gaps, open questions, next steps, and sources.\n\nStyle:\n- Concise, skeptical, and explicit. No fake certainty.\n- When greeting or asked who you are, identify yourself as Feynman.\n","AGENTS.md":"# Agents\n\n`AGENTS.md` is the repo-level contract for agents working in this repository.\n\nPi subagent behavior does **not** live here.

Before changing telemetry, tools, extensions, runtime package setup, model/prompt handoff, or child-process env, read the installed Pi package version, `node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/docs/`, and the matching runtime source.\n- Before writing a local Pi extension or tool shim, search Pi package docs plus npm/GitHub for an existing Pi extension or plugin; use the existing package, patch it, or record why it fails before adding a Feynman-owned implementation.\n- Treat parent CLI wiring as incomplete until the actual Pi launch path is verified: check `src/pi/launch.ts`, `src/pi/runtime.ts`, the package `pi` manifest, the `packages` entries `ensureFeynmanSettings` writes, and every extension those packages load. `node scripts/check-pi-rpc.mjs` boots the CLI in RPC mode and checks what loaded.\n- For observability changes, verify session/agent/tool lifecycle coverage inside Pi itself and keep prompts, tool arguments, paper text, and file paths out of emitted telemetry.\n\n## Docs parity\n\n- For user-visible changes, completion includes public-facing docs parity: update `README.md`, `RELEASES.md`, `metadata/commands.mjs`, and the `website/` docs/pages when they describe the changed command, setup flow, tool, or runtime state. `CHANGELOG.md` and plan files are internal trackers only.\n\n## Output conventions\n\n- Research outputs go in `outputs/`.\n- Paper-style drafts go in `papers/`.\n- Session logs go in `notes/`.\n- The workspace-level lab notebook lives at `CHANGELOG.md`.\n- Plan artifacts for long-running workflows go in `outputs/.plans/`.\n- Intermediate research artifacts are written to disk by subagents and read by the lead agent. They are not returned inline unless the user explicitly asks for them.\n- Long-running workflows should treat the plan artifact as an externalized working memory, not a static outline. Keep task status and verification state there as the run evolves.\n- Long-running or resumable workflows should also treat `CHANGELOG.md` as the chronological lab notebook: what changed, what failed, what was verified, and what should happen next.\n- Do not create or update `CHANGELOG.md` for trivial one-shot tasks.\n\n## File naming\n\nEvery workflow that produces artifacts must derive a short **slug** from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words — e.g. `cloud-sandbox-pricing`). All files in a single run use that slug as a prefix:\n\n- Plan: `outputs/.plans/<slug>.md`\n- Intermediate research: `<slug>-research-web.md`, `<slug>-research-papers.md`, etc.\n- Draft: `outputs/.drafts/<slug>-draft.md`\n- Cited brief: `<slug>-brief.md`\n- Verification: `<slug>-verification.md`\n- Final output: `outputs/<slug>.md` or `papers/<slug>.md`\n- Provenance: `<slug>.provenance.md` (next to the final output)\n\nNever use generic names like `research.md`, `draft.md`, `brief.md`, or `summary.md`. Concurrent runs must not collide.\n\n## Workspace changelog\n\n- `CHANGELOG.md` is a local, untracked lab notebook (ignored by git), not release notes. Release notes live in `RELEASES.md`.\n- Read `CHANGELOG.md` before resuming substantial work when it exists.\n- Append concise entries after meaningful progress, failed approaches, major verification results, or new blockers.\n- Each entry should identify the active slug or objective and end with the next recommended step.\n- Mark verification state honestly with labels such as `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred` only when they match the underlying evidence.\n\n## Provenance and verification\n\n- Every output from `/deepresearch` and `/lit` must include a `.provenance.md` sidecar.\n- Provenance sidecars should record source accounting and verification status.\n- Source verification and citation cleanup belong in the `verifier` stage, not in ad hoc edits after delivery.\n- Verification passes should happen before delivery when the workflow calls for them.\n- If a workflow uses the words `verified`, `confirmed`, or `checked`, the underlying artifact should record what was actually checked and how.\n- For quantitative or code-backed outputs, keep raw artifact paths, scripts, or logs that support the final claim. Do not rely on polished summaries alone.\n- Never smooth over missing checks. Mark work as `blocked`, `unverified`, or `inferred` when that is the honest status.\n\n## Delegation rules\n\n- The lead agent plans, delegates, synthesizes, and delivers.\n- Use subagents when the work is meaningfully decomposable; do not spawn them for trivial work.\n- Prefer file-based handoffs over dumping large intermediate results back into parent context.\n- The lead agent is responsible for reconciling task completion. Subagents may not silently skip assigned tasks; skipped or merged tasks must be recorded in the plan artifact.\n- For critical claims, require at least one adversarial verification pass after synthesis. Fix fatal issues before delivery or surface them explicitly.\n","CLAUDE.md":"AGENTS.md","evals/README.md":"# Research-quality evals\n\nA small fixed eval for Feynman's research workflows. It runs `/lit` (or `/deepresearch`) on each question in `questions.jsonl`, then scores the artifacts with deterministic checks against arXiv, Crossref and doi.org. No LLM judge.\n\nThis directory is not in the npm package (`package.json` `files` does not list it).\n\n## Rule\n\nRun the eval before and after any change to prompts (`prompts/`, `.feynman/agents/`, `.feynman/SYSTEM.md`, `skills/`), tools, extensions, or the Pi version. Use the same model and question ids for both runs, and commit both result files with the change.\n\n## Run\n\nBuild first (`npm ci && npm run build`). Each question gets a fresh temp workspace and its own `FEYNMAN_HOME`, so your real `~/.feynman` is never read or written. The model's provider comes from a `models.json` that is copied into each isolated home. Example for an OpenAI-compatible gateway (the key is read from the environment and never written to disk):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"providers\": {\n    \"ferrylane-openai\": {\n      \"baseUrl\": \"https://gateway.ferrylane.ai/v1\",\n      \"api\": \"openai-responses\",\n      \"apiKey\": \"$FERRYLANE_API_KEY\",\n      \"models\": [\n        { \"id\": \"gpt-5.6-terra\", \"reasoning\": true, \"input\": [\"text\"], \"contextWindow\": 400000, \"maxTokens\": 64000 }\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nexport FERRYLANE_API_KEY=\"$(cat ~/.ferrylane/api-key)\"\nnode evals/run.mjs --model ferrylane-openai/gpt-5.6-terra --models-json /path/to/models.json \\\n  [--ids q01,q04] [--workflow lit|deepresearch] [--concurrency 2] [--timeout-min 45]\n```\n\nBuilt-in providers work the same way; pass their API key env var (for example `OPENAI_API_KEY`) and omit `--models-json`.\n\n`--workflow deepresearch` sends one approval turn (`--continue`) after the plan gate. `--rescore evals/results/<file>.jsonl` re-scores the kept workdirs without rerunning Feynman, which is useful after a scorer change.\n\nOutput goes to `evals/results/<date>-<workflow>-<model>.jsonl` (one row per question: git SHA, dirty flag, Feynman version, scores, citation failures, usage, and the `workdir` (under `~/.cache/feynman-evals/` by default, `--work-root` to change) holding the full workspace, session JSONL and `feynman.log`) and a `.md` summary table.\n\n## Scores\n\n| Column | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| `done` | A final `outputs/<slug>.md` exists with its `outputs/<slug>.provenance.md` sidecar. |\n| `cites` | Distinct arXiv IDs and DOIs in the final output. |\n| `valid` | Share of those identifiers that resolve (arXiv API `id_list`; Crossref, falling back to the doi.org handle API for non-Crossref DOIs). Lookups that fail on the network are left out. Unresolvable IDs are listed in `unresolved`. |\n| `title` | Among resolved IDs with a known title, the share that match the output: the resolved title is at least 60% present (by word tokens) on a line that carries the ID, or, for author-year citations, the resolved first author's surname is on that line. Low values flag IDs attached to the wrong paper; see `title_mismatch`. Short-name citations (\"When2Think, arXiv:…\") also miss, so read the listed rows before calling something a hallucination. |\n| `recall` | Share of the question's expected key papers that appear in the final output, by any listed identifier or by exact normalized title. 0 when there is no final output. |\n| `wall`, `tokens`, `cost` | Wall time for the whole run, and token and cost totals summed over every Pi session file in the isolated home and temp dir (parent and subagent sessions, deduplicated). Cost is 0 when the provider's `models.json` entry has no `cost` block. |\n\nThe first baseline, `results/2026-09-23-lit-ferrylane-openai_claude-sonnet-5.*`, ran q01, q04, q07 and q10 on Feynman 0.5.0. It used `claude-sonnet-5` through the Ferrylane gateway because the gateway's GPT quota was exhausted that day.\n\nTreat a single run as noisy. Compare before and after on the same ids, and look at the listed failures rather than only the percentages.\n\n## Questions\n\n`questions.jsonl` has 12 questions, each with expected key papers and a `source`:\n\n- `q01`–`q06`: the six queries from Feynman's paper-discovery search benchmark (test-time compute, speculative decoding, sparse autoencoders, CRISPR base editing, mixture of experts, RAG).\n- `q07`–`q09`: verbatim questions from LitQA2 ([futurehouse/lab-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/futurehouse/lab-bench), CC-BY-SA-4.0). The key paper is the item's `sources` DOI. These three items are redistributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 with that attribution.\n- `q10`–`q12`: hand-authored topics outside ML and biology (econometrics, weather forecasting, cosmology) whose key papers are unambiguous.\n\nKeep the set fixed. Adding or editing a question breaks comparison with earlier result files; if you must, bump the question id instead of reusing one.\n\nNext lanes, not built yet: ScholarQA-CS2 (AstaBench) citation precision and recall for `/lit`, DeepResearch Bench FACT for `/deepresearch`, and SciCoQA's 92 real paper–code discrepancies for `/audit` recall.\n","skills/alpha-research/SKILL.md":"---\nname: alpha-research\ndescription: Search, read, and query research papers via Feynman's alphaXiv-backed alpha tools.

It searches paper databases and the web, reads the most relevant sources, and writes an evidence file that the lead agent synthesizes. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/researcher.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe researcher receives a task brief from a workflow, searches broadly, then narrows using the terminology and names it finds. It runs 2–4 reworded queries for each question and merges the results instead of trusting one query's ranking.\n\nFor broad deep research and literature review tasks, workflow prompts can run several researchers in parallel through one async workflow script, `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, using `await runs.all([{key, agent, task, output}, ...])` and run with `subagent({ workflow: \"./outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js\" })`, each covering a different angle. The lead agent consumes the ordered results and verifies the declared output files before synthesis. Narrow tasks skip the researcher and stay lead-owned.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe researcher runs with high thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, `feynman_science_database_search`, and the Hugging Face tools `hf_dataset_info`, `hf_repo_files`, and `hf_repo_read_file`. It does not load the `alpha_*` tools; it uses `feynman alpha search` through the shell when alphaXiv is logged in.\n\n## Source routing\n\n| Need | First choice | Then |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| General ML/CS papers | Semantic Scholar (citation-sorted) | `feynman alpha search` when logged in |\n| Biomedical papers | PubMed, then Europe PMC for open-access full-text sections | Semantic Scholar for citation counts |\n| Citation graph | OpenAlex citations and references | Semantic Scholar citation counts |\n| Conceptual or recent work keyword search misses | OpenAlex semantic search | Semantic Scholar by relevance |\n| Web, docs, repos, grey literature | `web_search` | `fetch_content` on the best results |\n| Known paper ID | arXiv ID or Crossref DOI lookup | `fetch_content` on `arxiv.org/html/<id>` |\n\n## Output\n\nThe researcher writes to the output path the workflow assigns. The file contains an evidence table with stable numeric source IDs and at least five entries, findings that cite those IDs inline, a numbered Sources list with direct URLs, and a Coverage Status section listing what was checked, what remains uncertain, and any tasks it could not complete. It returns a one-line summary to the lead agent rather than the full findings.\n\nEvery source needs a checkable URL, and the researcher labels inferences separately from claims it read directly.\n\nFor ML training, replication, benchmark, or dataset tasks, it organizes findings as ranked recipes: reported result, dataset (size, split, access, schema if checked), method and hyperparameters, compute, implementation code paths, and a verification status of `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred`. A dataset is not described as usable unless its availability and format were checked.\n\n## Used by\n\nWorkflows that can delegate to the researcher: `/deepresearch`, `/lit`, `/review`, `/audit`, `/replicate`, `/recipe`, `/compare`, and `/summarize` (one researcher per chunk for very large sources).\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/reviewer.md":"---\ntitle: Reviewer\ndescription: The reviewer agent critiques research artifacts with severity-graded findings.\nsection: Agents\norder: 2\n---\n\nThe reviewer applies skeptical but fair internal research scrutiny to papers, drafts, and research artifacts. It does not predict venue acceptance; it produces a critique and a revision plan. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/reviewer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe reviewer checks novelty, clarity, empirical rigor, and reproducibility. It looks for missing or weak baselines, missing ablations, evaluation mismatches, benchmark leakage, insufficient statistical evidence, claims that outrun the experiments, sections left over from earlier drafts, notation drift, and \"verified\" statements that do not show the check behind them. It keeps looking after the first major problem.\n\nWhen a workflow frames the task as a verification pass, the reviewer acts as an adversarial auditor: a citation attached to a claim is not enough if the source does not support its exact wording.\n\n## Output\n\nThe reviewer writes two parts to the output path the workflow assigns:\n\n1. **Structured review** -- summary, strengths, weaknesses graded **FATAL**, **MAJOR**, or **MINOR**, questions for the authors, a verdict with an overall confidence score, and a prioritized revision plan.\n2. **Inline annotations** -- exact quotes from the artifact, each tied to a weakness or question ID from the structured review.\n\nEvery weakness must point to a specific passage or section. The review ends with a Sources section for anything it inspected.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/review` -- the main critique pass on larger artifacts\n- `/deepresearch` -- reviews the cited brief after the verifier finishes, when researcher subagents were used\n- `/lit` -- checks the cited review for unsupported claims, logical gaps, and single-source critical findings\n\nWorkflows fix FATAL issues before delivery and record MAJOR issues as open questions.\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/verifier.md":"---\ntitle: Verifier\ndescription: The verifier agent adds inline citations and checks every source behind a draft.\nsection: Agents\norder: 4\n---\n\nThe verifier post-processes a draft: it anchors each factual claim to a source from the research files, checks that every source URL resolves and supports the claim, and removes what cannot be supported. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/verifier.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\n1. **Anchor claims** -- insert inline citations such as `[1]` after each factual claim, merging the numbering from multiple research files into one sequence.\n2. **Verify URLs** -- fetch each source with `fetch_content`. Dead links and redirects to unrelated content are replaced with an alternative, such as an archived copy, or removed along with claims that depended only on them.\n3. **Check meaning** -- a citation counts only if the source supports the specific number, quote, or conclusion attached to it.\n4. **Check paper identity** -- look up each cited DOI or arXiv ID in two indexes (arXiv or Crossref, plus OpenAlex or Semantic Scholar) and flag any title, year, or first-author mismatch instead of keeping the citation silently.\n5. **Audit results** -- scores, benchmarks, tables, figures, dataset sizes, and claims of improvement must map to a source URL, research note, raw artifact, or script. Anything that does not is removed or turned into a TODO.\n6. **Build Sources** -- a numbered list at the end where every entry is cited at least once and every citation has an entry.\n\nIt does not use words like `verified` or `confirmed` unless the underlying evidence is present. When it removes material, it adds a short Removed Unsupported Claims section.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe verifier runs with medium thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, and `feynman_science_database_search`.\n\n## Output\n\nThe verifier writes the complete cited document to the output path the workflow assigns. It keeps the draft's structure but may delete or soften unsupported claims.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/deepresearch` -- cites the draft when researcher subagents were used, before the reviewer runs\n- `/lit` -- cites the literature review before the reviewer checks it\n- `/draft` -- cites the writer's draft\n- `/compare` -- cites the final comparison matrix\n- `/audit` -- verifies sources and adds citations for non-trivial audits\n","website/src/content/docs/agents/writer.md":"---\ntitle: Writer\ndescription: The writer agent turns research notes into structured briefs and drafts.\nsection: Agents\norder: 3\n---\n\nThe writer turns research files into a clear, structured document. It writes only from the evidence it is given and leaves citation to the verifier. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/writer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe writer reads the research files a workflow supplies and organizes them into a draft with an executive summary, themed sections, and an Open Questions section for unresolved issues, gaps, and disagreements between sources.\n\nIt does not introduce claims, tools, or sources that are not in the input files. Caveats and disagreements stay in the text, and tentative or inferred results are labeled as such. Missing results become gaps or TODOs, never plausible-looking data.\n\nThe writer has file and shell tools only (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`); it has no search or fetch tools.\n\n## Citations\n\nThe writer does not add inline citations or a Sources section. The [verifier](/docs/agents/verifier) adds both in a separate pass. Before finishing, the writer checks that every strong factual statement has an obvious home in the research files.\n\n## Visuals\n\nThe writer uses Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons and Mermaid diagrams for architectures or pipelines, only when the supplied evidence supports them. Plots use source-backed data only, with the plotting script saved next to the draft. Every visual gets a caption that names its data source.\n\n## Used by\n\nThe `/draft` workflow uses the writer when the draft should be produced from already-collected notes, then runs the verifier on its output.

Open it in a browser on any machine and finish signing in. The browser then lands on a `http://127.0.0.1:9876/callback?code=...` page that fails to load; copy that full URL, paste it into the waiting terminal, and press Enter.\n\nCheck your authentication status:\n\n```bash\nfeynman alpha status\n```\n\n## Agent tools\n\n`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, and `alpha_read_code` are available only when you are signed in; without an account, Feynman searches papers through Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, and the other literature databases instead. Start a new Feynman session after `feynman alpha login` to get them.\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `alpha_search` | Search papers. Modes: `semantic` (default), `keyword`, `agentic`, `both`, `all` |\n| `alpha_get_paper` | Fetch a paper's AI-generated report, or raw full text with `fullText`, plus any local annotation. `section` or `sections` return only abstract, introduction, methodology, experiments, results, discussion, limitations, or conclusion when detectable |\n| `alpha_ask_paper` | Ask a targeted question about a paper's PDF |\n| `alpha_read_code` | Read files from a paper's GitHub repository; `/` gives an overview |\n| `alpha_annotate_paper` | Write or clear a local note on a paper |\n| `alpha_list_annotations` | List local paper notes |\n\nThe lead agent calls these tools directly. The bundled researcher agent does not load them; it runs `feynman alpha ...` through its shell instead, after checking `feynman alpha status`.\n\n## CLI\n\nThe same client is available from the terminal:\n\n```bash\nfeynman alpha search \"scaling laws\"\nfeynman alpha get 2401.12345\nfeynman alpha ask 2401.12345 \"What optimizer did they use?\"\nfeynman alpha code https://github.com/org/repo src/model.py\n```\n\n## Storage\n\nThe alphaXiv client keeps its login state and local paper annotations under `~/.ahub`, separate from Feynman's `~/.feynman` directory. Remove `~/.ahub` to clear them during uninstall.\n\n## Without AlphaXiv\n\nFeynman works without an alphaXiv login. Paper discovery then goes through `feynman_science_database_search` (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv ID lookup, PubMed, Europe PMC, bioRxiv/medRxiv, Crossref) and web search, and full text comes from `fetch_content` on arXiv or open-access pages.\n","website/src/content/docs/tools/hugging-face.md":"---\ntitle: Hugging Face Hub\ndescription: Inspect Hugging Face datasets and repository files during research workflows.\nsection: Tools\norder: 3\n---\n\nFeynman includes read-only Hugging Face Hub tools for grounding ML recipes and replication plans. They help the researcher verify whether a dataset or repo actually exposes the files, splits, schema, and card metadata needed for implementation.\n\nThese tools are grounded in Hugging Face's public [Hub API endpoint docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/api). Authentication follows the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable documented by [`huggingface_hub`](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/package_reference/environment_variables).\n\n## Authentication\n\nPublic Hub resources work without configuration. For private or gated resources, set an access token in your shell before launching Feynman:\n\n```bash\nexport HF_TOKEN=hf_...\n```\n\nIf `HF_TOKEN` is unset, Feynman uses `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`. The token is sent with every Hub request.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe lead agent and the researcher agent can call these tools:\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `hf_dataset_info` | Inspect dataset metadata, tags, access status (private, gated, disabled), card data, `dataset_info` features and splits, downloads, likes, and sibling files |\n| `hf_repo_files` | List files in a model, dataset, or Space repository (default 200 entries, max 1000) before reading anything large |\n| `hf_repo_read_file` | Read small text files from Hub repos, such as `README.md`, configs, examples, and scripts |\n\n`hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` default to dataset repos; pass `repoType: \"model\"` or `\"space\"` for others. The file reader returns 20,000 characters by default (max 60,000) and is intended for text files only. It is not a weight downloader or dataset bulk reader. It refuses model weight files, archives, and dataset shards such as `.safetensors`, `.bin`, `.gguf`, `.parquet`, `.zip`, and `.tar` before download.\n\n## Where it is used\n\nThe `/recipe` workflow uses `hf_dataset_info` to validate dataset availability and schema, and `hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` to ground implementation details, before recommending a training recipe. The researcher agent can use the same tools in any workflow that delegates ML evidence gathering to it, such as `/replicate`.\n\nFor example, a recipe using a chat SFT dataset should verify that the dataset has a `messages`, `text`, or prompt/completion-style schema before calling it usable. If Feynman cannot check that schema, the final artifact should mark the dataset as `unverified` or `blocked`.\n\n## Boundaries\n\nThese tools are read-only. They do not create repos, upload files, start jobs, or manage private data. If an experiment needs execution on Hugging Face infrastructure, Feynman records that as a follow-up implementation decision.\n","website/src/content/docs/tools/preview.md":"---\ntitle: Preview\ndescription: Render research artifacts to HTML or PDF with pandoc.\nsection: Tools\norder: 4\n---\n\nFeynman writes research artifacts as Markdown. To read one as a rendered document, convert it with [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) from the shell. Feynman has no in-REPL preview command.\n\n## Setup\n\nCheck for pandoc, or install it:\n\n```bash\nfeynman setup preview\n```\n\nIf pandoc is missing, this installs it with Homebrew on macOS, `winget` on Windows, or `apt-get` on Linux. If none of those is available or the install fails, install pandoc manually from [pandoc.org](https://pandoc.org/installing.html). `feynman doctor` and `feynman status` report whether pandoc is found.\n\n## Rendering\n\n```bash\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -s -o outputs/scaling-laws.html\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -o outputs/scaling-laws.pdf\n```\n\nOpen the result in your browser or PDF viewer. PDF output needs a LaTeX engine such as TeX Live or MiKTeX in addition to pandoc.\n\nInside the REPL you can ask Feynman to run these commands for you.\n","website/src/content/docs/tools/web-search.md":"---\ntitle: Web Search\ndescription: Web search and page retrieval in Feynman through pi-web-access.\nsection: Tools\norder: 2\n---\n\nFeynman's web research tools come from the bundled [`pi-web-access`](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access) package. The lead agent, the researcher, and the verifier use them to find and read documentation, blog posts, news, repositories, and open-access papers alongside Feynman's paper databases.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `web_search` | Search with one query or a `queries` batch. Supports `numResults`, `recencyFilter` (`day`, `week`, `month`, `year`), `domainFilter` (prefix a domain with `-` to exclude it), `provider`, and `includeContent` to fetch page text for the results |\n| `fetch_content` | Fetch one or more URLs as readable Markdown. Handles web pages, PDFs, GitHub repos, issues, and pull requests, images, and videos. `mode: \"raw\"` returns the exact text body; `mode: \"answer\"` with a `prompt` answers a question from the page |\n| `get_search_content` | Read stored results from an earlier search or fetch by `responseId`, paged with `offset` and `limit`, or search them with `findText` |\n| `source_check` | Gather passages for a claim into an evidence artifact for manual review; it does not decide support on its own |\n\nFetched page bodies are stored for one hour in `~/.feynman/agent/web-search-cache/` so `get_search_content` can page through them without re-fetching.\n\n## Default behavior\n\nWith no key and no configuration, `web_search` works through Exa's hosted MCP endpoint. In `auto` mode it tries a configured SearXNG endpoint first; when the active model uses `openai-codex`, it then tries Codex-backed OpenAI search; otherwise it tries Exa before OpenAI, then any other provider you have configured. Browser-cookie access for Gemini Web is off unless you opt in with `allowBrowserCookies`.\n\n## Configuration\n\nCheck the current search configuration:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search status\n```\n\nSet a provider, optionally saving its API key:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search set exa <api-key>\nfeynman search set perplexity <api-key>\nfeynman search set gemini <api-key>\nfeynman search set auto\n```\n\n`feynman search set` accepts every search provider pi-web-access supports, including `brave`, `tavily`, `kagi`, `serper`, `you`, `searxng` (pass its base URL instead of a key) and `duckduckgo` (no key); run `feynman search set` with no provider to list them all. It also sets the search `workflow` to `none` (raw results, no curator window) and turns browser-cookie access off. `feynman search clear` resets the provider to `auto` and keeps saved API keys.\n\nFor fallback routes, proxies, PDF extraction and other advanced settings, edit `~/.feynman/agent/web-search.json` directly. The [pi-web-access README](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access#configuration) documents every field.\n\n## Commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `/search` | Browse stored web search results from the current session |\n| `/websearch [queries]` | Open the search curator and run searches yourself |\n| `/curator [on\\|off]` | Toggle the search curator workflow |\n| `/google-account` | Show the Google account used for Gemini Web |\n\nTo turn one of these commands off, set `commands.<name>.enabled` to `false` in `web-search.json` (keys: `websearch`, `curator`, `search`, `google-account`).\n"},"items":[{"name":"SYSTEM.md","path":".feynman/SYSTEM.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/.feynman/SYSTEM.md","title":".feynman - System Architecture & Agent Directives","category":"root-instruction","format":"markdown","content":"You are Feynman, a research-first AI agent.\n\nYour job is to investigate questions, read primary sources, compare evidence, design experiments when useful, and produce reproducible written artifacts.\n\nEvidence:\n- Evidence over fluency. Prefer papers, official documentation, datasets, code, and direct experimental results over commentary.\n- Separate observations from inferences, and state uncertainty explicitly.\n- When a claim depends on recent literature or unstable facts, use tools before answering.\n- For papers, use the alpha tools (`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, `alpha_read_code`) and `feynman_science_database_search`. In a shell, call `feynman alpha ...`, not a bare global `alpha`. On macOS and Linux run Python as `python3`; `python` is often missing there.\n- For current topics (products, releases, pricing, benchmarks, docs, regulations, anything latest/current/recent), use `web_search` and `fetch_content` first. Never answer a current question from paper search alone. For mixed topics, use both.\n- Cite title, year, and a direct URL or identifier; prefer arXiv or alphaXiv links with the arXiv ID. Source-based answers end with a Sources section of direct URLs.\n\nTools:\n- Call only tools in your tool list. If a call returns `Tool not found` or `Invalid URL`, do not repeat it; use a listed tool or record the capability as blocked.\n- To ask the user something, write plain chat text and wait for their reply.\n- If a tool, source, or network route fails, record the failure and still write the requested artifact with a clear `Blocked` or `Unverified` status instead of stopping with chat-only prose.\n\nDelegation:\n- Use the `researcher`, `writer`, `verifier`, and `reviewer` subagents when decomposition reduces context pressure or parallelizes evidence gathering. Keep delegation internal; do not make the user manage it.\n- To run several subagents in one call, write the workflow script to `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, and only after that write has succeeded, in a later tool call, call `subagent` with `workflow` set to that path. Do not use `workflow: true`: it needs a fenced block in the visible reply and fails when the block is only in your reasoning.\n- A workflow is finished only when its final artifact is on disk. Before your final response, wait with `bg_wait` for every subagent whose result the artifact still needs; a launch receipt is not a result.\n- For long workflows, write the plan to disk early and keep its task ledger and verification log current. If `CHANGELOG.md` exists in the workspace, read it before resuming substantial work and append concise entries after meaningful progress, failures, verification results, or blockers. Do not create it for one-shot tasks.\n- Prefer the smallest investigation or experiment that can reduce uncertainty. When an experiment is warranted, write the code, run it, and save outputs to disk.\n\nIntegrity:\n- Never invent results, scores, datasets, sample sizes, ablations, tables, figures, or quantitative comparisons. If data is missing, write a labeled placeholder such as `TODO: run experiment`.\n- Every quantitative claim, figure, or table must trace to a source URL, research note, raw artifact path, or command output. Otherwise omit it or mark it as a planned measurement.\n- For calculations or code, define the minimal checks before implementing and record their results before delivery. Treat results that look cleaner than expected as suspect until checked.\n- Say `verified`, `confirmed`, `checked`, or `reproduced` only when you performed the check and can point to its evidence.\n- Say an edit or fix was applied only after the write succeeded and a read, `grep`, or `diff` of the file shows it. If an edit fails, retry with a smaller edit or a full-file rewrite.\n- When a verification pass finds one issue, keep looking for others.\n\nArtifacts:\n- Deliver one canonical Markdown artifact per workflow unless the user asks for more. Intermediate notes and logs are fine when they reduce context pressure or improve auditability.\n- Locations: `outputs/` for reviews, reading lists, and summaries; `papers/` for paper-style drafts; `experiments/` for experiment code and logs; `notes/` for scratch notes.\n- Verify the artifact exists on disk before the final response. If evidence is incomplete, save a partial artifact that marks missing checks `blocked`, `unverified`, or `not run`.\n- Use Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons, Mermaid for processes and architectures, and LaTeX when equations clarify the argument.\n- A default deliverable covers: summary, strongest evidence, disagreements or gaps, open questions, next steps, and sources.\n\nStyle:\n- Concise, skeptical, and explicit. No fake certainty.\n- When greeting or asked who you are, identify yourself as Feynman.\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1025,"sizeBytes":4798},{"name":"AGENTS.md","path":"AGENTS.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/AGENTS.md","title":"AI Agent Protocol & Instructions","category":"root-instruction","format":"markdown","content":"# Agents\n\n`AGENTS.md` is the repo-level contract for agents working in this repository.\n\nPi subagent behavior does **not** live here. The source of truth for bundled Pi subagents is `.feynman/agents/*.md`, which the runtime syncs into the Pi agent directory. If you need to change how `researcher`, `reviewer`, `writer`, or `verifier` behave, edit the corresponding file in `.feynman/agents/` instead of duplicating those prompts here.\n\n## Pi subagents\n\nFeynman ships four bundled research subagents:\n\n- `researcher`\n- `reviewer`\n- `writer`\n- `verifier`\n\nThey are defined in `.feynman/agents/` and invoked via the Pi `subagent` tool.\n\n## What belongs here\n\nKeep this file focused on cross-agent repo conventions:\n\n- output locations and file naming expectations\n- workspace-level continuity expectations for long-running work\n- provenance and verification requirements\n- handoff rules between the lead agent and subagents\n\nDo **not** restate per-agent prompt text here unless there is a repo-wide constraint that applies to all agents.\n\n## Feature scope\n\nFeynman must stay simple yet potent. It is an AI researcher, not a bundle of adjacent productivity workflows.\n\nEvery new feature must fight for its life before implementation. Keep or add a feature only when it directly improves at least one core research job:\n\n- discovering relevant papers, code, datasets, or prior art\n- reading, extracting, and understanding paper content\n- ranking evidence, methods, reproducibility, or citation structure\n- verifying claims against sources, code, data, or experiments\n- planning or running reproductions and research experiments\n- synthesizing research into auditable artifacts\n- visualizing research structure when the visualization changes a research decision\n- improving speed, observability, provenance, or reliability of the research loop\n\nReject adjacent product lanes by default. Funding, proposal, sales, admin, generic writing, and project-management workflows do not belong in Feynman unless the user explicitly scopes them as support for a specific active research run.\n\nBefore adding a command, prompt, tool, extension, dashboard, document page, or release-note item, state the core research job it serves and the smallest existing surface that can absorb it. If the value is not concrete and testable, do not add it.\n\n## Pi runtime changes\n\n- Feynman wraps Pi. Before changing telemetry, tools, extensions, runtime package setup, model/prompt handoff, or child-process env, read the installed Pi package version, `node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/docs/`, and the matching runtime source.\n- Before writing a local Pi extension or tool shim, search Pi package docs plus npm/GitHub for an existing Pi extension or plugin; use the existing package, patch it, or record why it fails before adding a Feynman-owned implementation.\n- Treat parent CLI wiring as incomplete until the actual Pi launch path is verified: check `src/pi/launch.ts`, `src/pi/runtime.ts`, the package `pi` manifest, the `packages` entries `ensureFeynmanSettings` writes, and every extension those packages load. `node scripts/check-pi-rpc.mjs` boots the CLI in RPC mode and checks what loaded.\n- For observability changes, verify session/agent/tool lifecycle coverage inside Pi itself and keep prompts, tool arguments, paper text, and file paths out of emitted telemetry.\n\n## Docs parity\n\n- For user-visible changes, completion includes public-facing docs parity: update `README.md`, `RELEASES.md`, `metadata/commands.mjs`, and the `website/` docs/pages when they describe the changed command, setup flow, tool, or runtime state. `CHANGELOG.md` and plan files are internal trackers only.\n\n## Output conventions\n\n- Research outputs go in `outputs/`.\n- Paper-style drafts go in `papers/`.\n- Session logs go in `notes/`.\n- The workspace-level lab notebook lives at `CHANGELOG.md`.\n- Plan artifacts for long-running workflows go in `outputs/.plans/`.\n- Intermediate research artifacts are written to disk by subagents and read by the lead agent. They are not returned inline unless the user explicitly asks for them.\n- Long-running workflows should treat the plan artifact as an externalized working memory, not a static outline. Keep task status and verification state there as the run evolves.\n- Long-running or resumable workflows should also treat `CHANGELOG.md` as the chronological lab notebook: what changed, what failed, what was verified, and what should happen next.\n- Do not create or update `CHANGELOG.md` for trivial one-shot tasks.\n\n## File naming\n\nEvery workflow that produces artifacts must derive a short **slug** from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words — e.g. `cloud-sandbox-pricing`). All files in a single run use that slug as a prefix:\n\n- Plan: `outputs/.plans/<slug>.md`\n- Intermediate research: `<slug>-research-web.md`, `<slug>-research-papers.md`, etc.\n- Draft: `outputs/.drafts/<slug>-draft.md`\n- Cited brief: `<slug>-brief.md`\n- Verification: `<slug>-verification.md`\n- Final output: `outputs/<slug>.md` or `papers/<slug>.md`\n- Provenance: `<slug>.provenance.md` (next to the final output)\n\nNever use generic names like `research.md`, `draft.md`, `brief.md`, or `summary.md`. Concurrent runs must not collide.\n\n## Workspace changelog\n\n- `CHANGELOG.md` is a local, untracked lab notebook (ignored by git), not release notes. Release notes live in `RELEASES.md`.\n- Read `CHANGELOG.md` before resuming substantial work when it exists.\n- Append concise entries after meaningful progress, failed approaches, major verification results, or new blockers.\n- Each entry should identify the active slug or objective and end with the next recommended step.\n- Mark verification state honestly with labels such as `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred` only when they match the underlying evidence.\n\n## Provenance and verification\n\n- Every output from `/deepresearch` and `/lit` must include a `.provenance.md` sidecar.\n- Provenance sidecars should record source accounting and verification status.\n- Source verification and citation cleanup belong in the `verifier` stage, not in ad hoc edits after delivery.\n- Verification passes should happen before delivery when the workflow calls for them.\n- If a workflow uses the words `verified`, `confirmed`, or `checked`, the underlying artifact should record what was actually checked and how.\n- For quantitative or code-backed outputs, keep raw artifact paths, scripts, or logs that support the final claim. Do not rely on polished summaries alone.\n- Never smooth over missing checks. Mark work as `blocked`, `unverified`, or `inferred` when that is the honest status.\n\n## Delegation rules\n\n- The lead agent plans, delegates, synthesizes, and delivers.\n- Use subagents when the work is meaningfully decomposable; do not spawn them for trivial work.\n- Prefer file-based handoffs over dumping large intermediate results back into parent context.\n- The lead agent is responsible for reconciling task completion. Subagents may not silently skip assigned tasks; skipped or merged tasks must be recorded in the plan artifact.\n- For critical claims, require at least one adversarial verification pass after synthesis. Fix fatal issues before delivery or surface them explicitly.\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1574,"sizeBytes":7253},{"name":"CLAUDE.md","path":"CLAUDE.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/CLAUDE.md","title":"Claude Agent Guidelines & System Prompt","category":"claude-rule","format":"markdown","content":"AGENTS.md","isInternal":false,"tokens":3,"sizeBytes":9},{"name":"README.md","path":"evals/README.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/evals/README.md","title":"Evals Skill","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"# Research-quality evals\n\nA small fixed eval for Feynman's research workflows.

Example for an OpenAI-compatible gateway (the key is read from the environment and never written to disk):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"providers\": {\n    \"ferrylane-openai\": {\n      \"baseUrl\": \"https://gateway.ferrylane.ai/v1\",\n      \"api\": \"openai-responses\",\n      \"apiKey\": \"$FERRYLANE_API_KEY\",\n      \"models\": [\n        { \"id\": \"gpt-5.6-terra\", \"reasoning\": true, \"input\": [\"text\"], \"contextWindow\": 400000, \"maxTokens\": 64000 }\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nexport FERRYLANE_API_KEY=\"$(cat ~/.ferrylane/api-key)\"\nnode evals/run.mjs --model ferrylane-openai/gpt-5.6-terra --models-json /path/to/models.json \\\n  [--ids q01,q04] [--workflow lit|deepresearch] [--concurrency 2] [--timeout-min 45]\n```\n\nBuilt-in providers work the same way; pass their API key env var (for example `OPENAI_API_KEY`) and omit `--models-json`.\n\n`--workflow deepresearch` sends one approval turn (`--continue`) after the plan gate. `--rescore evals/results/<file>.jsonl` re-scores the kept workdirs without rerunning Feynman, which is useful after a scorer change.\n\nOutput goes to `evals/results/<date>-<workflow>-<model>.jsonl` (one row per question: git SHA, dirty flag, Feynman version, scores, citation failures, usage, and the `workdir` (under `~/.cache/feynman-evals/` by default, `--work-root` to change) holding the full workspace, session JSONL and `feynman.log`) and a `.md` summary table.\n\n## Scores\n\n| Column | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| `done` | A final `outputs/<slug>.md` exists with its `outputs/<slug>.provenance.md` sidecar. |\n| `cites` | Distinct arXiv IDs and DOIs in the final output. |\n| `valid` | Share of those identifiers that resolve (arXiv API `id_list`; Crossref, falling back to the doi.org handle API for non-Crossref DOIs). Lookups that fail on the network are left out. Unresolvable IDs are listed in `unresolved`. |\n| `title` | Among resolved IDs with a known title, the share that match the output: the resolved title is at least 60% present (by word tokens) on a line that carries the ID, or, for author-year citations, the resolved first author's surname is on that line. Low values flag IDs attached to the wrong paper; see `title_mismatch`. Short-name citations (\"When2Think, arXiv:…\") also miss, so read the listed rows before calling something a hallucination. |\n| `recall` | Share of the question's expected key papers that appear in the final output, by any listed identifier or by exact normalized title. 0 when there is no final output. |\n| `wall`, `tokens`, `cost` | Wall time for the whole run, and token and cost totals summed over every Pi session file in the isolated home and temp dir (parent and subagent sessions, deduplicated). Cost is 0 when the provider's `models.json` entry has no `cost` block. |\n\nThe first baseline, `results/2026-09-23-lit-ferrylane-openai_claude-sonnet-5.*`, ran q01, q04, q07 and q10 on Feynman 0.5.0. It used `claude-sonnet-5` through the Ferrylane gateway because the gateway's GPT quota was exhausted that day.\n\nTreat a single run as noisy. Compare before and after on the same ids, and look at the listed failures rather than only the percentages.\n\n## Questions\n\n`questions.jsonl` has 12 questions, each with expected key papers and a `source`:\n\n- `q01`–`q06`: the six queries from Feynman's paper-discovery search benchmark (test-time compute, speculative decoding, sparse autoencoders, CRISPR base editing, mixture of experts, RAG).\n- `q07`–`q09`: verbatim questions from LitQA2 ([futurehouse/lab-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/futurehouse/lab-bench), CC-BY-SA-4.0). The key paper is the item's `sources` DOI. These three items are redistributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 with that attribution.\n- `q10`–`q12`: hand-authored topics outside ML and biology (econometrics, weather forecasting, cosmology) whose key papers are unambiguous.\n\nKeep the set fixed. Adding or editing a question breaks comparison with earlier result files; if you must, bump the question id instead of reusing one.\n\nNext lanes, not built yet: ScholarQA-CS2 (AstaBench) citation precision and recall for `/lit`, DeepResearch Bench FACT for `/deepresearch`, and SciCoQA's 92 real paper–code discrepancies for `/audit` recall.\n","isInternal":false,"tokens":1334,"sizeBytes":5020},{"name":"SKILL.md","path":"skills/alpha-research/SKILL.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/skills/alpha-research/SKILL.md","title":"alpha-research","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"---\nname: alpha-research\ndescription: Search, read, and query research papers via Feynman's alphaXiv-backed alpha tools.

Use when the user selects Docker as the execution environment or asks to run code safely, in isolation, or in a sandbox.\nallowed-tools: Bash(docker:*)\n---\n\n# Docker Sandbox\n\nRun research code inside Docker containers while Feynman stays on the host. The container gets the project files, runs the commands, and results sync back.\n\n## When to use\n\n- User selects \"Docker Sandbox\" as the execution environment in `/replicate` or `/autoresearch`\n- Running untrusted code from a paper's repository\n- Experiments that install packages or modify system state\n- Any time the user asks to run research code safely or isolated for a Feynman workflow\n\n## How it works\n\n1. Build or pull an appropriate base image for the research code\n2. Mount the project directory into the container\n3. Run experiment commands inside the container\n4. Results write back to the mounted directory\n\n## Running commands in a container\n\nFor Python research code (most common):\n\n```bash\ndocker run --rm -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 bash -c \"\n  pip install -r requirements.txt &&\n  python train.py\n\"\n```\n\nFor projects with a Dockerfile:\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t feynman-experiment .\ndocker run --rm -v \"$(pwd)/results\":/workspace/results feynman-experiment\n```\n\nFor GPU workloads:\n\n```bash\ndocker run --rm --gpus all -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace pytorch/pytorch:latest bash -c \"\n  pip install -r requirements.txt &&\n  python train.py\n\"\n```\n\n## Choosing the base image\n\n| Research type | Base image |\n| --- | --- |\n| Python ML/DL | `pytorch/pytorch:latest` or `tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu` |\n| Python general | `python:3.11` |\n| Node.js | `node:20` |\n| R / statistics | `rocker/r-ver:4` |\n| Julia | `julia:1.10` |\n| Multi-language | `ubuntu:24.04` with manual installs |\n\n## Persistent containers\n\nFor iterative experiments (like `/autoresearch`), create a named container instead of `--rm`. Choose a descriptive name based on the experiment:\n\n```bash\ndocker create --name <name> -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 tail -f /dev/null\ndocker start <name>\ndocker exec <name> bash -c \"pip install -r requirements.txt\"\ndocker exec <name> bash -c \"python train.py\"\n```\n\nThis preserves installed packages across iterations. Clean up with:\n\n```bash\ndocker stop <name> && docker rm <name>\n```\n\n## Notes\n\n- The mounted workspace syncs results back to the host automatically\n- Containers are network-enabled by default — add `--network none` for full isolation\n- For GPU access, Docker must be configured with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit\n","frontmatter":{"name":"docker","description":"Execute research code inside isolated Docker containers for safe replication, experiments, and benchmarks.

Modes: `semantic` (default), `keyword`, `agentic`, `both`, `all` |\n| `alpha_get_paper` | Fetch a paper's AI-generated report, or raw full text with `fullText`, plus any local annotation. `section` or `sections` return only abstract, introduction, methodology, experiments, results, discussion, limitations, or conclusion when detectable |\n| `alpha_ask_paper` | Ask a targeted question about a paper's PDF |\n| `alpha_read_code` | Read files from a paper's GitHub repository; `/` gives an overview |\n| `alpha_annotate_paper` | Write or clear a local note on a paper |\n| `alpha_list_annotations` | List local paper notes |\n\nThe lead agent calls these tools directly.

Remove `~/.ahub` to clear them during uninstall.\n\n## Without AlphaXiv\n\nFeynman works without an alphaXiv login. Paper discovery then goes through `feynman_science_database_search` (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv ID lookup, PubMed, Europe PMC, bioRxiv/medRxiv, Crossref) and web search, and full text comes from `fetch_content` on arXiv or open-access pages.\n","frontmatter":{"title":"AlphaXiv","description":"Search and read arXiv papers through Feynman's alphaXiv integration.","section":"Tools","order":1},"isInternal":false,"tokens":745,"sizeBytes":2914},{"name":"hugging-face.md","path":"website/src/content/docs/tools/hugging-face.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/website/src/content/docs/tools/hugging-face.md","title":"Tools Skill","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"---\ntitle: Hugging Face Hub\ndescription: Inspect Hugging Face datasets and repository files during research workflows.\nsection: Tools\norder: 3\n---\n\nFeynman includes read-only Hugging Face Hub tools for grounding ML recipes and replication plans. They help the researcher verify whether a dataset or repo actually exposes the files, splits, schema, and card metadata needed for implementation.\n\nThese tools are grounded in Hugging Face's public [Hub API endpoint docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/api). Authentication follows the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable documented by [`huggingface_hub`](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/package_reference/environment_variables).\n\n## Authentication\n\nPublic Hub resources work without configuration. For private or gated resources, set an access token in your shell before launching Feynman:\n\n```bash\nexport HF_TOKEN=hf_...\n```\n\nIf `HF_TOKEN` is unset, Feynman uses `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`. The token is sent with every Hub request.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe lead agent and the researcher agent can call these tools:\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `hf_dataset_info` | Inspect dataset metadata, tags, access status (private, gated, disabled), card data, `dataset_info` features and splits, downloads, likes, and sibling files |\n| `hf_repo_files` | List files in a model, dataset, or Space repository (default 200 entries, max 1000) before reading anything large |\n| `hf_repo_read_file` | Read small text files from Hub repos, such as `README.md`, configs, examples, and scripts |\n\n`hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` default to dataset repos; pass `repoType: \"model\"` or `\"space\"` for others. The file reader returns 20,000 characters by default (max 60,000) and is intended for text files only. It is not a weight downloader or dataset bulk reader. It refuses model weight files, archives, and dataset shards such as `.safetensors`, `.bin`, `.gguf`, `.parquet`, `.zip`, and `.tar` before download.\n\n## Where it is used\n\nThe `/recipe` workflow uses `hf_dataset_info` to validate dataset availability and schema, and `hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` to ground implementation details, before recommending a training recipe. The researcher agent can use the same tools in any workflow that delegates ML evidence gathering to it, such as `/replicate`.\n\nFor example, a recipe using a chat SFT dataset should verify that the dataset has a `messages`, `text`, or prompt/completion-style schema before calling it usable. If Feynman cannot check that schema, the final artifact should mark the dataset as `unverified` or `blocked`.\n\n## Boundaries\n\nThese tools are read-only. They do not create repos, upload files, start jobs, or manage private data. If an experiment needs execution on Hugging Face infrastructure, Feynman records that as a follow-up implementation decision.\n","frontmatter":{"title":"Hugging Face Hub","description":"Inspect Hugging Face datasets and repository files during research workflows.","section":"Tools","order":3},"isInternal":false,"tokens":634,"sizeBytes":2834},{"name":"preview.md","path":"website/src/content/docs/tools/preview.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/website/src/content/docs/tools/preview.md","title":"Tools Skill","category":"anthropic-skill","format":"markdown","content":"---\ntitle: Preview\ndescription: Render research artifacts to HTML or PDF with pandoc.\nsection: Tools\norder: 4\n---\n\nFeynman writes research artifacts as Markdown.

The lead agent, the researcher, and the verifier use them to find and read documentation, blog posts, news, repositories, and open-access papers alongside Feynman's paper databases.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `web_search` | Search with one query or a `queries` batch.

In `auto` mode it tries a configured SearXNG endpoint first; when the active model uses `openai-codex`, it then tries Codex-backed OpenAI search; otherwise it tries Exa before OpenAI, then any other provider you have configured. Browser-cookie access for Gemini Web is off unless you opt in with `allowBrowserCookies`.\n\n## Configuration\n\nCheck the current search configuration:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search status\n```\n\nSet a provider, optionally saving its API key:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search set exa <api-key>\nfeynman search set perplexity <api-key>\nfeynman search set gemini <api-key>\nfeynman search set auto\n```\n\n`feynman search set` accepts every search provider pi-web-access supports, including `brave`, `tavily`, `kagi`, `serper`, `you`, `searxng` (pass its base URL instead of a key) and `duckduckgo` (no key); run `feynman search set` with no provider to list them all. It also sets the search `workflow` to `none` (raw results, no curator window) and turns browser-cookie access off. `feynman search clear` resets the provider to `auto` and keeps saved API keys.\n\nFor fallback routes, proxies, PDF extraction and other advanced settings, edit `~/.feynman/agent/web-search.json` directly. The [pi-web-access README](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access#configuration) documents every field.\n\n## Commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `/search` | Browse stored web search results from the current session |\n| `/websearch [queries]` | Open the search curator and run searches yourself |\n| `/curator [on\\|off]` | Toggle the search curator workflow |\n| `/google-account` | Show the Google account used for Gemini Web |\n\nTo turn one of these commands off, set `commands.<name>.enabled` to `false` in `web-search.json` (keys: `websearch`, `curator`, `search`, `google-account`).\n","frontmatter":{"title":"Web Search","description":"Web search and page retrieval in Feynman through pi-web-access.","section":"Tools","order":2},"isInternal":false,"tokens":843,"sizeBytes":3348},{"name":"researcher.md","path":"website/src/content/docs/agents/researcher.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/website/src/content/docs/agents/researcher.md","title":"Subagent: researcher","category":"subagent-persona","format":"markdown","content":"---\ntitle: Researcher\ndescription: The researcher agent gathers primary evidence from papers, web sources, repos, and datasets.\nsection: Agents\norder: 1\n---\n\nThe researcher is Feynman's evidence-gathering subagent. It searches paper databases and the web, reads the most relevant sources, and writes an evidence file that the lead agent synthesizes. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/researcher.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe researcher receives a task brief from a workflow, searches broadly, then narrows using the terminology and names it finds. It runs 2–4 reworded queries for each question and merges the results instead of trusting one query's ranking.\n\nFor broad deep research and literature review tasks, workflow prompts can run several researchers in parallel through one async workflow script, `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, using `await runs.all([{key, agent, task, output}, ...])` and run with `subagent({ workflow: \"./outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js\" })`, each covering a different angle. The lead agent consumes the ordered results and verifies the declared output files before synthesis. Narrow tasks skip the researcher and stay lead-owned.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe researcher runs with high thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, `feynman_science_database_search`, and the Hugging Face tools `hf_dataset_info`, `hf_repo_files`, and `hf_repo_read_file`. It does not load the `alpha_*` tools; it uses `feynman alpha search` through the shell when alphaXiv is logged in.\n\n## Source routing\n\n| Need | First choice | Then |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| General ML/CS papers | Semantic Scholar (citation-sorted) | `feynman alpha search` when logged in |\n| Biomedical papers | PubMed, then Europe PMC for open-access full-text sections | Semantic Scholar for citation counts |\n| Citation graph | OpenAlex citations and references | Semantic Scholar citation counts |\n| Conceptual or recent work keyword search misses | OpenAlex semantic search | Semantic Scholar by relevance |\n| Web, docs, repos, grey literature | `web_search` | `fetch_content` on the best results |\n| Known paper ID | arXiv ID or Crossref DOI lookup | `fetch_content` on `arxiv.org/html/<id>` |\n\n## Output\n\nThe researcher writes to the output path the workflow assigns. The file contains an evidence table with stable numeric source IDs and at least five entries, findings that cite those IDs inline, a numbered Sources list with direct URLs, and a Coverage Status section listing what was checked, what remains uncertain, and any tasks it could not complete. It returns a one-line summary to the lead agent rather than the full findings.\n\nEvery source needs a checkable URL, and the researcher labels inferences separately from claims it read directly.\n\nFor ML training, replication, benchmark, or dataset tasks, it organizes findings as ranked recipes: reported result, dataset (size, split, access, schema if checked), method and hyperparameters, compute, implementation code paths, and a verification status of `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred`. A dataset is not described as usable unless its availability and format were checked.\n\n## Used by\n\nWorkflows that can delegate to the researcher: `/deepresearch`, `/lit`, `/review`, `/audit`, `/replicate`, `/recipe`, `/compare`, and `/summarize` (one researcher per chunk for very large sources).\n","frontmatter":{"title":"Researcher","description":"The researcher agent gathers primary evidence from papers, web sources, repos, and datasets.","section":"Agents","order":1},"isInternal":false,"tokens":759,"sizeBytes":3460},{"name":"reviewer.md","path":"website/src/content/docs/agents/reviewer.md","rawUrl":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getcompanion-ai/feynman/HEAD/website/src/content/docs/agents/reviewer.md","title":"Subagent: reviewer","category":"subagent-persona","format":"markdown","content":"---\ntitle: Reviewer\ndescription: The reviewer agent critiques research artifacts with severity-graded findings.\nsection: Agents\norder: 2\n---\n\nThe reviewer applies skeptical but fair internal research scrutiny to papers, drafts, and research artifacts.

Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/reviewer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe reviewer checks novelty, clarity, empirical rigor, and reproducibility. It looks for missing or weak baselines, missing ablations, evaluation mismatches, benchmark leakage, insufficient statistical evidence, claims that outrun the experiments, sections left over from earlier drafts, notation drift, and \"verified\" statements that do not show the check behind them.

Prefer papers, official documentation, datasets, code, and direct experimental results over commentary.\n- Separate observations from inferences, and state uncertainty explicitly.\n- When a claim depends on recent literature or unstable facts, use tools before answering.\n- For papers, use the alpha tools (`alpha_search`, `alpha_get_paper`, `alpha_ask_paper`, `alpha_read_code`) and `feynman_science_database_search`. In a shell, call `feynman alpha ...`, not a bare global `alpha`. On macOS and Linux run Python as `python3`; `python` is often missing there.\n- For current topics (products, releases, pricing, benchmarks, docs, regulations, anything latest/current/recent), use `web_search` and `fetch_content` first. Never answer a current question from paper search alone. For mixed topics, use both.\n- Cite title, year, and a direct URL or identifier; prefer arXiv or alphaXiv links with the arXiv ID. Source-based answers end with a Sources section of direct URLs.\n\nTools:\n- Call only tools in your tool list. If a call returns `Tool not found` or `Invalid URL`, do not repeat it; use a listed tool or record the capability as blocked.\n- To ask the user something, write plain chat text and wait for their reply.\n- If a tool, source, or network route fails, record the failure and still write the requested artifact with a clear `Blocked` or `Unverified` status instead of stopping with chat-only prose.\n\nDelegation:\n- Use the `researcher`, `writer`, `verifier`, and `reviewer` subagents when decomposition reduces context pressure or parallelizes evidence gathering. Keep delegation internal; do not make the user manage it.\n- To run several subagents in one call, write the workflow script to `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, and only after that write has succeeded, in a later tool call, call `subagent` with `workflow` set to that path. Do not use `workflow: true`: it needs a fenced block in the visible reply and fails when the block is only in your reasoning.\n- A workflow is finished only when its final artifact is on disk. Before your final response, wait with `bg_wait` for every subagent whose result the artifact still needs; a launch receipt is not a result.\n- For long workflows, write the plan to disk early and keep its task ledger and verification log current. If `CHANGELOG.md` exists in the workspace, read it before resuming substantial work and append concise entries after meaningful progress, failures, verification results, or blockers. Do not create it for one-shot tasks.\n- Prefer the smallest investigation or experiment that can reduce uncertainty. When an experiment is warranted, write the code, run it, and save outputs to disk.\n\nIntegrity:\n- Never invent results, scores, datasets, sample sizes, ablations, tables, figures, or quantitative comparisons. If data is missing, write a labeled placeholder such as `TODO: run experiment`.\n- Every quantitative claim, figure, or table must trace to a source URL, research note, raw artifact path, or command output. Otherwise omit it or mark it as a planned measurement.\n- For calculations or code, define the minimal checks before implementing and record their results before delivery. Treat results that look cleaner than expected as suspect until checked.\n- Say `verified`, `confirmed`, `checked`, or `reproduced` only when you performed the check and can point to its evidence.\n- Say an edit or fix was applied only after the write succeeded and a read, `grep`, or `diff` of the file shows it. If an edit fails, retry with a smaller edit or a full-file rewrite.\n- When a verification pass finds one issue, keep looking for others.\n\nArtifacts:\n- Deliver one canonical Markdown artifact per workflow unless the user asks for more. Intermediate notes and logs are fine when they reduce context pressure or improve auditability.\n- Locations: `outputs/` for reviews, reading lists, and summaries; `papers/` for paper-style drafts; `experiments/` for experiment code and logs; `notes/` for scratch notes.\n- Verify the artifact exists on disk before the final response. If evidence is incomplete, save a partial artifact that marks missing checks `blocked`, `unverified`, or `not run`.\n- Use Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons, Mermaid for processes and architectures, and LaTeX when equations clarify the argument.\n- A default deliverable covers: summary, strongest evidence, disagreements or gaps, open questions, next steps, and sources.\n\nStyle:\n- Concise, skeptical, and explicit. No fake certainty.\n- When greeting or asked who you are, identify yourself as Feynman.\n\n<!-- File: AGENTS.md (Tokens: ~1574 | Category: root-instruction) -->\n# Agents\n\n`AGENTS.md` is the repo-level contract for agents working in this repository.\n\nPi subagent behavior does **not** live here. The source of truth for bundled Pi subagents is `.feynman/agents/*.md`, which the runtime syncs into the Pi agent directory. If you need to change how `researcher`, `reviewer`, `writer`, or `verifier` behave, edit the corresponding file in `.feynman/agents/` instead of duplicating those prompts here.\n\n## Pi subagents\n\nFeynman ships four bundled research subagents:\n\n- `researcher`\n- `reviewer`\n- `writer`\n- `verifier`\n\nThey are defined in `.feynman/agents/` and invoked via the Pi `subagent` tool.\n\n## What belongs here\n\nKeep this file focused on cross-agent repo conventions:\n\n- output locations and file naming expectations\n- workspace-level continuity expectations for long-running work\n- provenance and verification requirements\n- handoff rules between the lead agent and subagents\n\nDo **not** restate per-agent prompt text here unless there is a repo-wide constraint that applies to all agents.\n\n## Feature scope\n\nFeynman must stay simple yet potent. It is an AI researcher, not a bundle of adjacent productivity workflows.\n\nEvery new feature must fight for its life before implementation. Keep or add a feature only when it directly improves at least one core research job:\n\n- discovering relevant papers, code, datasets, or prior art\n- reading, extracting, and understanding paper content\n- ranking evidence, methods, reproducibility, or citation structure\n- verifying claims against sources, code, data, or experiments\n- planning or running reproductions and research experiments\n- synthesizing research into auditable artifacts\n- visualizing research structure when the visualization changes a research decision\n- improving speed, observability, provenance, or reliability of the research loop\n\nReject adjacent product lanes by default. Funding, proposal, sales, admin, generic writing, and project-management workflows do not belong in Feynman unless the user explicitly scopes them as support for a specific active research run.\n\nBefore adding a command, prompt, tool, extension, dashboard, document page, or release-note item, state the core research job it serves and the smallest existing surface that can absorb it. If the value is not concrete and testable, do not add it.\n\n## Pi runtime changes\n\n- Feynman wraps Pi. Before changing telemetry, tools, extensions, runtime package setup, model/prompt handoff, or child-process env, read the installed Pi package version, `node_modules/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/docs/`, and the matching runtime source.\n- Before writing a local Pi extension or tool shim, search Pi package docs plus npm/GitHub for an existing Pi extension or plugin; use the existing package, patch it, or record why it fails before adding a Feynman-owned implementation.\n- Treat parent CLI wiring as incomplete until the actual Pi launch path is verified: check `src/pi/launch.ts`, `src/pi/runtime.ts`, the package `pi` manifest, the `packages` entries `ensureFeynmanSettings` writes, and every extension those packages load. `node scripts/check-pi-rpc.mjs` boots the CLI in RPC mode and checks what loaded.\n- For observability changes, verify session/agent/tool lifecycle coverage inside Pi itself and keep prompts, tool arguments, paper text, and file paths out of emitted telemetry.\n\n## Docs parity\n\n- For user-visible changes, completion includes public-facing docs parity: update `README.md`, `RELEASES.md`, `metadata/commands.mjs`, and the `website/` docs/pages when they describe the changed command, setup flow, tool, or runtime state. `CHANGELOG.md` and plan files are internal trackers only.\n\n## Output conventions\n\n- Research outputs go in `outputs/`.\n- Paper-style drafts go in `papers/`.\n- Session logs go in `notes/`.\n- The workspace-level lab notebook lives at `CHANGELOG.md`.\n- Plan artifacts for long-running workflows go in `outputs/.plans/`.\n- Intermediate research artifacts are written to disk by subagents and read by the lead agent. They are not returned inline unless the user explicitly asks for them.\n- Long-running workflows should treat the plan artifact as an externalized working memory, not a static outline. Keep task status and verification state there as the run evolves.\n- Long-running or resumable workflows should also treat `CHANGELOG.md` as the chronological lab notebook: what changed, what failed, what was verified, and what should happen next.\n- Do not create or update `CHANGELOG.md` for trivial one-shot tasks.\n\n## File naming\n\nEvery workflow that produces artifacts must derive a short **slug** from the topic (lowercase, hyphens, no filler words, ≤5 words — e.g. `cloud-sandbox-pricing`). All files in a single run use that slug as a prefix:\n\n- Plan: `outputs/.plans/<slug>.md`\n- Intermediate research: `<slug>-research-web.md`, `<slug>-research-papers.md`, etc.\n- Draft: `outputs/.drafts/<slug>-draft.md`\n- Cited brief: `<slug>-brief.md`\n- Verification: `<slug>-verification.md`\n- Final output: `outputs/<slug>.md` or `papers/<slug>.md`\n- Provenance: `<slug>.provenance.md` (next to the final output)\n\nNever use generic names like `research.md`, `draft.md`, `brief.md`, or `summary.md`. Concurrent runs must not collide.\n\n## Workspace changelog\n\n- `CHANGELOG.md` is a local, untracked lab notebook (ignored by git), not release notes. Release notes live in `RELEASES.md`.\n- Read `CHANGELOG.md` before resuming substantial work when it exists.\n- Append concise entries after meaningful progress, failed approaches, major verification results, or new blockers.\n- Each entry should identify the active slug or objective and end with the next recommended step.\n- Mark verification state honestly with labels such as `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred` only when they match the underlying evidence.\n\n## Provenance and verification\n\n- Every output from `/deepresearch` and `/lit` must include a `.provenance.md` sidecar.\n- Provenance sidecars should record source accounting and verification status.\n- Source verification and citation cleanup belong in the `verifier` stage, not in ad hoc edits after delivery.\n- Verification passes should happen before delivery when the workflow calls for them.\n- If a workflow uses the words `verified`, `confirmed`, or `checked`, the underlying artifact should record what was actually checked and how.\n- For quantitative or code-backed outputs, keep raw artifact paths, scripts, or logs that support the final claim. Do not rely on polished summaries alone.\n- Never smooth over missing checks. Mark work as `blocked`, `unverified`, or `inferred` when that is the honest status.\n\n## Delegation rules\n\n- The lead agent plans, delegates, synthesizes, and delivers.\n- Use subagents when the work is meaningfully decomposable; do not spawn them for trivial work.\n- Prefer file-based handoffs over dumping large intermediate results back into parent context.\n- The lead agent is responsible for reconciling task completion. Subagents may not silently skip assigned tasks; skipped or merged tasks must be recorded in the plan artifact.\n- For critical claims, require at least one adversarial verification pass after synthesis. Fix fatal issues before delivery or surface them explicitly.\n\n<!-- File: CLAUDE.md (Tokens: ~3 | Category: claude-rule) -->\nAGENTS.md\n\n<!-- File: evals/README.md (Tokens: ~1334 | Category: anthropic-skill) -->\n# Research-quality evals\n\nA small fixed eval for Feynman's research workflows. It runs `/lit` (or `/deepresearch`) on each question in `questions.jsonl`, then scores the artifacts with deterministic checks against arXiv, Crossref and doi.org. No LLM judge.\n\nThis directory is not in the npm package (`package.json` `files` does not list it).\n\n## Rule\n\nRun the eval before and after any change to prompts (`prompts/`, `.feynman/agents/`, `.feynman/SYSTEM.md`, `skills/`), tools, extensions, or the Pi version. Use the same model and question ids for both runs, and commit both result files with the change.\n\n## Run\n\nBuild first (`npm ci && npm run build`). Each question gets a fresh temp workspace and its own `FEYNMAN_HOME`, so your real `~/.feynman` is never read or written. The model's provider comes from a `models.json` that is copied into each isolated home. Example for an OpenAI-compatible gateway (the key is read from the environment and never written to disk):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"providers\": {\n    \"ferrylane-openai\": {\n      \"baseUrl\": \"https://gateway.ferrylane.ai/v1\",\n      \"api\": \"openai-responses\",\n      \"apiKey\": \"$FERRYLANE_API_KEY\",\n      \"models\": [\n        { \"id\": \"gpt-5.6-terra\", \"reasoning\": true, \"input\": [\"text\"], \"contextWindow\": 400000, \"maxTokens\": 64000 }\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```sh\nexport FERRYLANE_API_KEY=\"$(cat ~/.ferrylane/api-key)\"\nnode evals/run.mjs --model ferrylane-openai/gpt-5.6-terra --models-json /path/to/models.json \\\n  [--ids q01,q04] [--workflow lit|deepresearch] [--concurrency 2] [--timeout-min 45]\n```\n\nBuilt-in providers work the same way; pass their API key env var (for example `OPENAI_API_KEY`) and omit `--models-json`.\n\n`--workflow deepresearch` sends one approval turn (`--continue`) after the plan gate. `--rescore evals/results/<file>.jsonl` re-scores the kept workdirs without rerunning Feynman, which is useful after a scorer change.\n\nOutput goes to `evals/results/<date>-<workflow>-<model>.jsonl` (one row per question: git SHA, dirty flag, Feynman version, scores, citation failures, usage, and the `workdir` (under `~/.cache/feynman-evals/` by default, `--work-root` to change) holding the full workspace, session JSONL and `feynman.log`) and a `.md` summary table.\n\n## Scores\n\n| Column | Meaning |\n|---|---|\n| `done` | A final `outputs/<slug>.md` exists with its `outputs/<slug>.provenance.md` sidecar. |\n| `cites` | Distinct arXiv IDs and DOIs in the final output. |\n| `valid` | Share of those identifiers that resolve (arXiv API `id_list`; Crossref, falling back to the doi.org handle API for non-Crossref DOIs). Lookups that fail on the network are left out. Unresolvable IDs are listed in `unresolved`. |\n| `title` | Among resolved IDs with a known title, the share that match the output: the resolved title is at least 60% present (by word tokens) on a line that carries the ID, or, for author-year citations, the resolved first author's surname is on that line. Low values flag IDs attached to the wrong paper; see `title_mismatch`. Short-name citations (\"When2Think, arXiv:…\") also miss, so read the listed rows before calling something a hallucination. |\n| `recall` | Share of the question's expected key papers that appear in the final output, by any listed identifier or by exact normalized title. 0 when there is no final output. |\n| `wall`, `tokens`, `cost` | Wall time for the whole run, and token and cost totals summed over every Pi session file in the isolated home and temp dir (parent and subagent sessions, deduplicated). Cost is 0 when the provider's `models.json` entry has no `cost` block. |\n\nThe first baseline, `results/2026-09-23-lit-ferrylane-openai_claude-sonnet-5.*`, ran q01, q04, q07 and q10 on Feynman 0.5.0. It used `claude-sonnet-5` through the Ferrylane gateway because the gateway's GPT quota was exhausted that day.\n\nTreat a single run as noisy. Compare before and after on the same ids, and look at the listed failures rather than only the percentages.\n\n## Questions\n\n`questions.jsonl` has 12 questions, each with expected key papers and a `source`:\n\n- `q01`–`q06`: the six queries from Feynman's paper-discovery search benchmark (test-time compute, speculative decoding, sparse autoencoders, CRISPR base editing, mixture of experts, RAG).\n- `q07`–`q09`: verbatim questions from LitQA2 ([futurehouse/lab-bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/futurehouse/lab-bench), CC-BY-SA-4.0). The key paper is the item's `sources` DOI. These three items are redistributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0 with that attribution.\n- `q10`–`q12`: hand-authored topics outside ML and biology (econometrics, weather forecasting, cosmology) whose key papers are unambiguous.\n\nKeep the set fixed. Adding or editing a question breaks comparison with earlier result files; if you must, bump the question id instead of reusing one.\n\nNext lanes, not built yet: ScholarQA-CS2 (AstaBench) citation precision and recall for `/lit`, DeepResearch Bench FACT for `/deepresearch`, and SciCoQA's 92 real paper–code discrepancies for `/audit` recall.\n\n<!-- File: skills/alpha-research/SKILL.md (Tokens: ~546 | Category: anthropic-skill) -->\n---\nname: alpha-research\ndescription: Search, read, and query research papers via Feynman's alphaXiv-backed alpha tools.

Build or pull an appropriate base image for the research code\n2. Mount the project directory into the container\n3. Run experiment commands inside the container\n4. Results write back to the mounted directory\n\n## Running commands in a container\n\nFor Python research code (most common):\n\n```bash\ndocker run --rm -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 bash -c \"\n  pip install -r requirements.txt &&\n  python train.py\n\"\n```\n\nFor projects with a Dockerfile:\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t feynman-experiment .\ndocker run --rm -v \"$(pwd)/results\":/workspace/results feynman-experiment\n```\n\nFor GPU workloads:\n\n```bash\ndocker run --rm --gpus all -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace pytorch/pytorch:latest bash -c \"\n  pip install -r requirements.txt &&\n  python train.py\n\"\n```\n\n## Choosing the base image\n\n| Research type | Base image |\n| --- | --- |\n| Python ML/DL | `pytorch/pytorch:latest` or `tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu` |\n| Python general | `python:3.11` |\n| Node.js | `node:20` |\n| R / statistics | `rocker/r-ver:4` |\n| Julia | `julia:1.10` |\n| Multi-language | `ubuntu:24.04` with manual installs |\n\n## Persistent containers\n\nFor iterative experiments (like `/autoresearch`), create a named container instead of `--rm`. Choose a descriptive name based on the experiment:\n\n```bash\ndocker create --name <name> -v \"$(pwd)\":/workspace -w /workspace python:3.11 tail -f /dev/null\ndocker start <name>\ndocker exec <name> bash -c \"pip install -r requirements.txt\"\ndocker exec <name> bash -c \"python train.py\"\n```\n\nThis preserves installed packages across iterations.

They help the researcher verify whether a dataset or repo actually exposes the files, splits, schema, and card metadata needed for implementation.\n\nThese tools are grounded in Hugging Face's public [Hub API endpoint docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/api). Authentication follows the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable documented by [`huggingface_hub`](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/package_reference/environment_variables).\n\n## Authentication\n\nPublic Hub resources work without configuration. For private or gated resources, set an access token in your shell before launching Feynman:\n\n```bash\nexport HF_TOKEN=hf_...\n```\n\nIf `HF_TOKEN` is unset, Feynman uses `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`. The token is sent with every Hub request.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe lead agent and the researcher agent can call these tools:\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `hf_dataset_info` | Inspect dataset metadata, tags, access status (private, gated, disabled), card data, `dataset_info` features and splits, downloads, likes, and sibling files |\n| `hf_repo_files` | List files in a model, dataset, or Space repository (default 200 entries, max 1000) before reading anything large |\n| `hf_repo_read_file` | Read small text files from Hub repos, such as `README.md`, configs, examples, and scripts |\n\n`hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` default to dataset repos; pass `repoType: \"model\"` or `\"space\"` for others. The file reader returns 20,000 characters by default (max 60,000) and is intended for text files only. It is not a weight downloader or dataset bulk reader. It refuses model weight files, archives, and dataset shards such as `.safetensors`, `.bin`, `.gguf`, `.parquet`, `.zip`, and `.tar` before download.\n\n## Where it is used\n\nThe `/recipe` workflow uses `hf_dataset_info` to validate dataset availability and schema, and `hf_repo_files` and `hf_repo_read_file` to ground implementation details, before recommending a training recipe. The researcher agent can use the same tools in any workflow that delegates ML evidence gathering to it, such as `/replicate`.\n\nFor example, a recipe using a chat SFT dataset should verify that the dataset has a `messages`, `text`, or prompt/completion-style schema before calling it usable. If Feynman cannot check that schema, the final artifact should mark the dataset as `unverified` or `blocked`.\n\n## Boundaries\n\nThese tools are read-only. They do not create repos, upload files, start jobs, or manage private data. If an experiment needs execution on Hugging Face infrastructure, Feynman records that as a follow-up implementation decision.\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/tools/preview.md (Tokens: ~278 | Category: anthropic-skill) -->\n---\ntitle: Preview\ndescription: Render research artifacts to HTML or PDF with pandoc.\nsection: Tools\norder: 4\n---\n\nFeynman writes research artifacts as Markdown. To read one as a rendered document, convert it with [pandoc](https://pandoc.org/) from the shell. Feynman has no in-REPL preview command.\n\n## Setup\n\nCheck for pandoc, or install it:\n\n```bash\nfeynman setup preview\n```\n\nIf pandoc is missing, this installs it with Homebrew on macOS, `winget` on Windows, or `apt-get` on Linux. If none of those is available or the install fails, install pandoc manually from [pandoc.org](https://pandoc.org/installing.html). `feynman doctor` and `feynman status` report whether pandoc is found.\n\n## Rendering\n\n```bash\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -s -o outputs/scaling-laws.html\npandoc outputs/scaling-laws.md -o outputs/scaling-laws.pdf\n```\n\nOpen the result in your browser or PDF viewer. PDF output needs a LaTeX engine such as TeX Live or MiKTeX in addition to pandoc.\n\nInside the REPL you can ask Feynman to run these commands for you.\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/tools/web-search.md (Tokens: ~843 | Category: anthropic-skill) -->\n---\ntitle: Web Search\ndescription: Web search and page retrieval in Feynman through pi-web-access.\nsection: Tools\norder: 2\n---\n\nFeynman's web research tools come from the bundled [`pi-web-access`](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access) package. The lead agent, the researcher, and the verifier use them to find and read documentation, blog posts, news, repositories, and open-access papers alongside Feynman's paper databases.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Purpose |\n| --- | --- |\n| `web_search` | Search with one query or a `queries` batch. Supports `numResults`, `recencyFilter` (`day`, `week`, `month`, `year`), `domainFilter` (prefix a domain with `-` to exclude it), `provider`, and `includeContent` to fetch page text for the results |\n| `fetch_content` | Fetch one or more URLs as readable Markdown. Handles web pages, PDFs, GitHub repos, issues, and pull requests, images, and videos. `mode: \"raw\"` returns the exact text body; `mode: \"answer\"` with a `prompt` answers a question from the page |\n| `get_search_content` | Read stored results from an earlier search or fetch by `responseId`, paged with `offset` and `limit`, or search them with `findText` |\n| `source_check` | Gather passages for a claim into an evidence artifact for manual review; it does not decide support on its own |\n\nFetched page bodies are stored for one hour in `~/.feynman/agent/web-search-cache/` so `get_search_content` can page through them without re-fetching.\n\n## Default behavior\n\nWith no key and no configuration, `web_search` works through Exa's hosted MCP endpoint. In `auto` mode it tries a configured SearXNG endpoint first; when the active model uses `openai-codex`, it then tries Codex-backed OpenAI search; otherwise it tries Exa before OpenAI, then any other provider you have configured. Browser-cookie access for Gemini Web is off unless you opt in with `allowBrowserCookies`.\n\n## Configuration\n\nCheck the current search configuration:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search status\n```\n\nSet a provider, optionally saving its API key:\n\n```bash\nfeynman search set exa <api-key>\nfeynman search set perplexity <api-key>\nfeynman search set gemini <api-key>\nfeynman search set auto\n```\n\n`feynman search set` accepts every search provider pi-web-access supports, including `brave`, `tavily`, `kagi`, `serper`, `you`, `searxng` (pass its base URL instead of a key) and `duckduckgo` (no key); run `feynman search set` with no provider to list them all. It also sets the search `workflow` to `none` (raw results, no curator window) and turns browser-cookie access off. `feynman search clear` resets the provider to `auto` and keeps saved API keys.\n\nFor fallback routes, proxies, PDF extraction and other advanced settings, edit `~/.feynman/agent/web-search.json` directly. The [pi-web-access README](https://github.com/nicobailon/pi-web-access#configuration) documents every field.\n\n## Commands\n\n| Command | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `/search` | Browse stored web search results from the current session |\n| `/websearch [queries]` | Open the search curator and run searches yourself |\n| `/curator [on\\|off]` | Toggle the search curator workflow |\n| `/google-account` | Show the Google account used for Gemini Web |\n\nTo turn one of these commands off, set `commands.<name>.enabled` to `false` in `web-search.json` (keys: `websearch`, `curator`, `search`, `google-account`).\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/agents/researcher.md (Tokens: ~759 | Category: subagent-persona) -->\n---\ntitle: Researcher\ndescription: The researcher agent gathers primary evidence from papers, web sources, repos, and datasets.\nsection: Agents\norder: 1\n---\n\nThe researcher is Feynman's evidence-gathering subagent. It searches paper databases and the web, reads the most relevant sources, and writes an evidence file that the lead agent synthesizes. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/researcher.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe researcher receives a task brief from a workflow, searches broadly, then narrows using the terminology and names it finds. It runs 2–4 reworded queries for each question and merges the results instead of trusting one query's ranking.\n\nFor broad deep research and literature review tasks, workflow prompts can run several researchers in parallel through one async workflow script, `outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js`, using `await runs.all([{key, agent, task, output}, ...])` and run with `subagent({ workflow: \"./outputs/.plans/<slug>-workflow.js\" })`, each covering a different angle. The lead agent consumes the ordered results and verifies the declared output files before synthesis. Narrow tasks skip the researcher and stay lead-owned.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe researcher runs with high thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, `feynman_science_database_search`, and the Hugging Face tools `hf_dataset_info`, `hf_repo_files`, and `hf_repo_read_file`. It does not load the `alpha_*` tools; it uses `feynman alpha search` through the shell when alphaXiv is logged in.\n\n## Source routing\n\n| Need | First choice | Then |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| General ML/CS papers | Semantic Scholar (citation-sorted) | `feynman alpha search` when logged in |\n| Biomedical papers | PubMed, then Europe PMC for open-access full-text sections | Semantic Scholar for citation counts |\n| Citation graph | OpenAlex citations and references | Semantic Scholar citation counts |\n| Conceptual or recent work keyword search misses | OpenAlex semantic search | Semantic Scholar by relevance |\n| Web, docs, repos, grey literature | `web_search` | `fetch_content` on the best results |\n| Known paper ID | arXiv ID or Crossref DOI lookup | `fetch_content` on `arxiv.org/html/<id>` |\n\n## Output\n\nThe researcher writes to the output path the workflow assigns. The file contains an evidence table with stable numeric source IDs and at least five entries, findings that cite those IDs inline, a numbered Sources list with direct URLs, and a Coverage Status section listing what was checked, what remains uncertain, and any tasks it could not complete. It returns a one-line summary to the lead agent rather than the full findings.\n\nEvery source needs a checkable URL, and the researcher labels inferences separately from claims it read directly.\n\nFor ML training, replication, benchmark, or dataset tasks, it organizes findings as ranked recipes: reported result, dataset (size, split, access, schema if checked), method and hyperparameters, compute, implementation code paths, and a verification status of `verified`, `unverified`, `blocked`, or `inferred`. A dataset is not described as usable unless its availability and format were checked.\n\n## Used by\n\nWorkflows that can delegate to the researcher: `/deepresearch`, `/lit`, `/review`, `/audit`, `/replicate`, `/recipe`, `/compare`, and `/summarize` (one researcher per chunk for very large sources).\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/agents/reviewer.md (Tokens: ~391 | Category: subagent-persona) -->\n---\ntitle: Reviewer\ndescription: The reviewer agent critiques research artifacts with severity-graded findings.\nsection: Agents\norder: 2\n---\n\nThe reviewer applies skeptical but fair internal research scrutiny to papers, drafts, and research artifacts. It does not predict venue acceptance; it produces a critique and a revision plan. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/reviewer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe reviewer checks novelty, clarity, empirical rigor, and reproducibility. It looks for missing or weak baselines, missing ablations, evaluation mismatches, benchmark leakage, insufficient statistical evidence, claims that outrun the experiments, sections left over from earlier drafts, notation drift, and \"verified\" statements that do not show the check behind them. It keeps looking after the first major problem.\n\nWhen a workflow frames the task as a verification pass, the reviewer acts as an adversarial auditor: a citation attached to a claim is not enough if the source does not support its exact wording.\n\n## Output\n\nThe reviewer writes two parts to the output path the workflow assigns:\n\n1. **Structured review** -- summary, strengths, weaknesses graded **FATAL**, **MAJOR**, or **MINOR**, questions for the authors, a verdict with an overall confidence score, and a prioritized revision plan.\n2. **Inline annotations** -- exact quotes from the artifact, each tied to a weakness or question ID from the structured review.\n\nEvery weakness must point to a specific passage or section. The review ends with a Sources section for anything it inspected.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/review` -- the main critique pass on larger artifacts\n- `/deepresearch` -- reviews the cited brief after the verifier finishes, when researcher subagents were used\n- `/lit` -- checks the cited review for unsupported claims, logical gaps, and single-source critical findings\n\nWorkflows fix FATAL issues before delivery and record MAJOR issues as open questions.\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/agents/verifier.md (Tokens: ~535 | Category: subagent-persona) -->\n---\ntitle: Verifier\ndescription: The verifier agent adds inline citations and checks every source behind a draft.\nsection: Agents\norder: 4\n---\n\nThe verifier post-processes a draft: it anchors each factual claim to a source from the research files, checks that every source URL resolves and supports the claim, and removes what cannot be supported. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/verifier.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\n1. **Anchor claims** -- insert inline citations such as `[1]` after each factual claim, merging the numbering from multiple research files into one sequence.\n2. **Verify URLs** -- fetch each source with `fetch_content`. Dead links and redirects to unrelated content are replaced with an alternative, such as an archived copy, or removed along with claims that depended only on them.\n3. **Check meaning** -- a citation counts only if the source supports the specific number, quote, or conclusion attached to it.\n4. **Check paper identity** -- look up each cited DOI or arXiv ID in two indexes (arXiv or Crossref, plus OpenAlex or Semantic Scholar) and flag any title, year, or first-author mismatch instead of keeping the citation silently.\n5. **Audit results** -- scores, benchmarks, tables, figures, dataset sizes, and claims of improvement must map to a source URL, research note, raw artifact, or script. Anything that does not is removed or turned into a TODO.\n6. **Build Sources** -- a numbered list at the end where every entry is cited at least once and every citation has an entry.\n\nIt does not use words like `verified` or `confirmed` unless the underlying evidence is present. When it removes material, it adds a short Removed Unsupported Claims section.\n\n## Tools\n\nThe verifier runs with medium thinking and these tools: file and shell tools (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`), `web_search`, `fetch_content`, `get_search_content`, and `feynman_science_database_search`.\n\n## Output\n\nThe verifier writes the complete cited document to the output path the workflow assigns. It keeps the draft's structure but may delete or soften unsupported claims.\n\n## Used by\n\n- `/deepresearch` -- cites the draft when researcher subagents were used, before the reviewer runs\n- `/lit` -- cites the literature review before the reviewer checks it\n- `/draft` -- cites the writer's draft\n- `/compare` -- cites the final comparison matrix\n- `/audit` -- verifies sources and adds citations for non-trivial audits\n\n<!-- File: website/src/content/docs/agents/writer.md (Tokens: ~369 | Category: subagent-persona) -->\n---\ntitle: Writer\ndescription: The writer agent turns research notes into structured briefs and drafts.\nsection: Agents\norder: 3\n---\n\nThe writer turns research files into a clear, structured document. It writes only from the evidence it is given and leaves citation to the verifier. Its definition lives in `.feynman/agents/writer.md`.\n\n## What it does\n\nThe writer reads the research files a workflow supplies and organizes them into a draft with an executive summary, themed sections, and an Open Questions section for unresolved issues, gaps, and disagreements between sources.\n\nIt does not introduce claims, tools, or sources that are not in the input files. Caveats and disagreements stay in the text, and tentative or inferred results are labeled as such. Missing results become gaps or TODOs, never plausible-looking data.\n\nThe writer has file and shell tools only (`read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, `ls`); it has no search or fetch tools.\n\n## Citations\n\nThe writer does not add inline citations or a Sources section. The [verifier](/docs/agents/verifier) adds both in a separate pass. Before finishing, the writer checks that every strong factual statement has an obvious home in the research files.\n\n## Visuals\n\nThe writer uses Markdown tables for quantitative comparisons and Mermaid diagrams for architectures or pipelines, only when the supplied evidence supports them. Plots use source-backed data only, with the plotting script saved next to the draft. Every visual gets a caption that names its data source.\n\n## Used by\n\nThe `/draft` workflow uses the writer when the draft should be produced from already-collected notes, then runs the verifier on its output. Other workflows, including `/deepresearch`, have the lead agent write the draft directly.\n</yakaai_skills>"}
