Local-first autonomous research system implementing a Git-like research protocol for long-running scientific discovery; explores competing explanations, executes experiments inside an isolation boundary, self-criticizes results, and exports the entire path as typed Agent-Native Research Artifacts (ARA) with exploration DAGs, claim-to-evidence anchors, content hashes, and re-execution hooks (126+ stars, Apache 2.0, arXiv 2026)

Modular framework for AI-driven scientific and algorithmic discovery, providing a unified interface for implementing, running, and fairly comparing discovery algorithms across 200+ optimization tasks; introduces AdaEvolve and EvoX adaptive/evolutionary algorithms and natively supports OpenEvolve, GEPA, and Harbor-format benchmarks (skydiscover-ai, 568+ stars, Apache 2.0, 2026)

Democratizing AI scientists by transforming any LLM into research systems with 600+ scientific tools (Harvard MIMS)

Robust, lightweight infrastructure for multi-agent autonomous self-evolution, built for autoresearch; agents run in isolated git worktrees, share knowledge through a common state directory, and are scored by a grader daemon; natively integrated with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, OpenCode, and Kiro (672+ stars, Apache 2.0)

Language agent gymnasium for challenging scientific tasks including DNA manipulation, literature search, and protein engineering

Principle-first scientific idea discovery framework that extracts reusable principles from public literature and private research materials, composes them into traceable Idea Cards with prior-art comparisons, and exports validation-ready research packs; emphasizes inspectable scientific objects, risk disclosure, and falsification paths (ICML 2026, 411+ stars, MIT License)
