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