  alphaXiv's MIT-licensed app drives Claude Code, Cursor or Codex to run each hypothesis in its own git-tracked worktree — parallel experiments with reproducible, evidence-linked history.

  166 Agent Skills that wire agents into scientific databases

  A large MIT-licensed library giving any agent procedural access to 100+ scientific databases (PubMed, ChEMBL, UniProt) and 70+ Python tools — scaling the Skills pattern instead of fine-tuning.
