What problem does it solve?
It helps you analyze complex social phenomena by turning actor networks (human and non-human) into structured graph data and interpretation-ready results based on Actor-Network Theory (ANT).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Actor-network mapping: Builds a network graph from provided actors and relationships, preserving actor types and relationship attributes.
- Network analysis for key actors: Computes network properties (density, components, clustering, centrality measures) and identifies key nodes using centrality.
- Community/structure discovery: Detects communities via modularity-based clustering (with a fallback when needed).
- ANT translation lens: Supports analysis focused on how actors are enrolled and mobilized through translation processes in the network.
Example use case: You have qualitative and relational data describing how organizations, technologies, and stakeholders interact in a digital transformation process; you can generate a network map, identify central and bridging actors, and summarize community structures to support ANT-style interpretation.
Quick Start
Run ant-subagent with an input file containing actor and relationship data to produce a JSON network analysis summary with key nodes and communities.
