HITL Research Agent: source analysis and planned research workflow

An in-development human-in-the-loop research framework. Its README reports a working single-article analysis step producing structured JSON and PDF preparation into text and crops. Cross-source synthesis, literature discovery, retrieval and a separate evaluation stage are designed but not yet built; researchers remain responsible for source checking and acceptance.

Evidence & verification

Source level

Repository-documented
Grounded in a maintainer repository/README. Availability, stars and forks do not establish research benefit or correctness.

Outcome verification

Not empirically evaluated here
A documented resource or intended workflow, not a demonstrated academic outcome. No empirical benefit is established by its inclusion.

Sources checked

Opening paragraph suggests three agents, but the status table restricts current working scope to single-source analysis and preparation. Summary uses the narrower current-state evidence. Pilot collection counts and proposed model comparison are not outcome evidence. No working multi-agent synthesis or automatic validation claim.

Source-checked does not mean independently reproduced. See the Method page for how these labels are assigned.

Research applicability

Supports structured examination of arguments, evidence, assumptions and limitations in academic articles while explicitly retaining researcher acceptance decisions.

Getting started

Editorial suggestion, not executed: inspect the README status table and analysis schema, use a permitted sample article, and check every extracted attribution against the source before accepting it. Treat the planned evaluation and synthesis stages as unavailable.

Maintenance

Mutable documentation captured at access time; future compatibility not established.

License

Check original license and dependency/data rights before reuse; no independent legal audit.

Workflow & human oversight

Resource-level automation unspecified; researchers define aims and verify outputs. No autonomous end-to-end outcome claimed.

Workflow level is not an evidence score; higher is not better evidence.

Limitations

README-only substantive review plus repository identity metadata. No installation, API call, pilot execution or evaluation reproduced. author_stated is a model attribution, not verification; the current step does not retrieve cited studies. Planned A/B experiments are not reported results.

Reproducibility

Source review by AI agent only; no installation, experiment or claimed outcome reproduced.

Adoption requirements

README specifies Python 3.12, uv, git 2.31+ and an OpenAI API key. Use only articles whose rights and confidentiality permit transmission to the model provider; budget for model calls and researcher review.
