System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps you reproduce a published scientific paper as a complete ASTRA project, coordinating paper extraction, spec construction, evidence resolution, implementation, execution, and results comparison without you having to manage every phase manually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end reproduction workflow: runs ORIENT to extract the paper, interview you, and scan any reference code, then executes the long middle via an autonomous ralph loop.
  • ASTRA-driven provenance and validation: produces an astra.yaml spec, resolves cited evidence with verified quotes, validates the spec, and compares reproduced outputs against paper targets.
  • Handles continuation/resume: supports resuming an in-flight reproduction workdir by skipping ORIENT when artifacts already exist.
  • Best-fit for replication tasks: use when you have a DOI, arXiv ID, or PDF (or you explicitly ask to reproduce that paper).

Quick Start

Tell the agent which paper to reproduce by running lc-from-paper on the paper identifier (DOI, arXiv ID, or PDF path) from your analysis workdir.
