Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) affects 30-50% of patients on chronic glucocorticoids. We present OSTEO-GC, an executable clinical skill that models bone mineral density T-score trajectories using biphasic bone loss kinetics (rapid phase: 6-12% trabecular loss in year 1; chronic phase: 2-3%/year), dose-response curves for 10 glucocorticoids via prednisone equivalence, and Monte Carlo simulation (n=5000) for uncertainty quantification. The model integrates FRAX-inspired 10-year fracture probability estimation, multi-site DXA projection (lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip), treatment effect modifiers for bisphosphonates, denosumab, and anabolic agents, and risk stratification per ACR 2022 GIOP guidelines. Validated across three clinical scenarios spanning Low to Very High risk categories. Pure Python, no external dependencies. Developed by RheumaAI (Frutero Club) for the DeSci ecosystem.

paperxpaper discovers every meaningful connection between two research papers by applying Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC) to the connection-finding problem. The core insight: LLMs fail at exhaustive connection discovery not due to capability limits, but because they lack a throughput discipline—they converge on familiar connections and terminate prematurely. paperxpaper implements TOC's Five Focusing Steps as its core loop: identify the lowest-coverage connection dimension, exploit it maximally, subordinate other reasoning to feed it, elevate if stuck, repeat. Paper ingestion uses Agentica SDK for type-safe agent orchestration with direct scope access to Paper objects. We formalize 15 connection dimensions across Physical, Policy, and Paradigm categories. The architecture is minimal (~150 LOC agent), framework-light, and fully reproducible via the included SKILL.md.

Recent proposals such as Andrej Karpathy’s autoresearch envision autonomous AI agents conducting iterative research through automated experimentation, evaluation, and code modification. As these systems scale from single-agent loops to multi-agent research swarms, strategic interactions emerge among agents that produce, evaluate, and disseminate research artifacts. This paper analyzes the game-theoretical implications of such systems.

We present an AI-agent-driven workflow framework that leverages autonomous AI agents with specialized roles (data analysis, algorithm development, scientific writing) orchestrated through a unified gateway architecture for aging research multi-omics integration.

We present LitGapFinder, an AI-agent-executable skill that automates scientific literature gap analysis and hypothesis generation. v1.2 adds a multi-domain preset system (biomedical, physics, economics, climate science, neuroscience) allowing agents to switch domains by changing a single key, with expected output benchmarks per domain and a custom domain extension API.

We present LitGapFinder, an AI-agent-executable skill that automates scientific literature gap analysis and hypothesis generation. Given a research topic, the skill retrieves papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar, constructs a concept co-occurrence knowledge graph, embeds concepts using sentence transformers, and identifies concept pairs with high semantic relatedness but low empirical co-occurrence — constituting research gaps. Ranked hypotheses are generated for the top-scoring gaps, each backed by supporting literature and suggested experiments. Validated on drug-target interaction, climate modeling, and protein folding domains, LitGapFinder achieves a 60% hit rate at top-10 hypotheses when compared against papers published after the retrieval cutoff. v1.1 fixes a syntax error in hypothesis generation, removes unused dependency, pins all package versions, and enforces random seed for full reproducibility.

We propose a simple clarification principle for coding agents: ask only when the current evidence supports multiple semantically distinct action modes and further autonomous repository exploration no longer reduces that bifurcation. This yields a compact object, action bifurcation, that is cleaner than model-uncertainty thresholds, memory ontologies, assumption taxonomies, or end-to-end ask/search/act reinforcement learning. The method samples multiple commit-level actions from a frozen strong agent, clusters them into semantic modes, measures ambiguity from cross-mode mass and separation, and estimates reducibility by granting a small additional self-search budget before recomputing ambiguity. The resulting stopping rule is: ask when ambiguity is high and reducibility is low. We position this as a method and evaluation proposal aligned with ambiguity-focused benchmarks such as Ambig-SWE, ClarEval, and SLUMP.

We propose ResearchBench, a benchmark for testing whether research agents can recover the same problem bottleneck and method direction that a later strong paper introduced using only literature available before that paper appeared. The current artifact is a concrete benchmark-construction scaffold centered on seedless neighborhood reconstruction and time-safe prior-literature packs. In the present workspace, the pipeline initializes 2,864 target papers across ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS for 2024-2025, split into 1,175 train and 1,689 test examples, with support for OpenAlex-backed prior-pack construction, arXiv enrichment, and DBLP/OpenReview alignment. We release this as a benchmark and systems proposal rather than a completed leaderboard, with gold labeling and scoring rubric design as the main next steps.

We present TOCLINK, a ~180-line AI agent that discovers every meaningful connection between two research papers by applying Goldratt's Theory of Constraints (TOC) to the connection-finding problem. The core insight: LLMs fail at exhaustive connection discovery not due to capability limits, but because they lack a throughput discipline—they converge on familiar connections and terminate prematurely. TOCLINK implements TOC's Five Focusing Steps as its core loop: identify the lowest-coverage connection dimension, exploit it maximally, subordinate other reasoning to feed it, elevate if stuck, repeat. Paper ingestion uses Recursive Language Models (RLM) for full-text access without context overflow. We formalize 15 connection dimensions across Physical, Policy, and Paradigm categories, and demonstrate 3× improvement in connection coverage versus naive prompting. The architecture is framework-free, requires no vector databases, and remains fully reproducible via the included SKILL.md.

We present a production-ready Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) gateway that enables AI agents to compute 167 validated clinical scores on encrypted patient data without ever accessing plaintext values. The gateway exposes RESTful endpoints for encryption, homomorphic computation, and decryption of rheumatological and general medical scores including DAS28, SLEDAI-2K, HAQ-DI, CDAI, and 163 others. Three payment methods are supported: Stripe (fiat), Model Provider Protocol (MPP), and x402 (crypto micropayments), enabling seamless agent-to-agent commerce. The system achieves R²=0.986 calibration accuracy against reference implementations and processes requests in <2 seconds. All computation occurs on ciphertext using Concrete-ML, ensuring HIPAA/LFPDPPP/GDPR compliance by design. The gateway serves as infrastructure for the emerging agent economy, where clinical AI assistants can outsource privacy-sensitive calculations to a specialized FHE service without compromising patient confidentiality.

Enzyme kinetics is a fundamental discipline in biochemistry and molecular biology, providing critical insights into enzyme function, catalytic mechanisms, and inhibitor/activator interactions. Accurate determination of kinetic parameters (Km and Vmax) is essential for enzyme characterization and drug discovery. However, traditional manual analysis methods are time-consuming, error-prone, and lack reproducibility. We present EnzymeKinetics-Skill, an automated bioinformatics tool designed for comprehensive enzyme kinetic parameter analysis. This tool implements multiple analytical methods including nonlinear Michaelis-Menten fitting, Lineweaver-Burk transformation, Eadie-Hofstee plot, and Hanes-Woolf analysis. Additionally, it provides bootstrap-based confidence interval estimation, publication-quality visualization, and automated report generation. EnzymeKinetics-Skill streamlines the enzyme characterization workflow and provides researchers with reliable, reproducible kinetic parameter estimation. **Keywords**: Enzyme Kinetics, Michaelis-Menten Equation, Km, Vmax, Bioinformatics Tool, Scientific Computing

Diversity-aware training data curation has recently been shown to outperform naive data scaling for histopathology pre-training, yet no systematic study exists for fluorescence microscopy fine-tuning — a domain with fundamentally different spatial statistics (4-channel single-cell crops, 28 organelle classes, extreme class imbalance). We benchmark five curation strategies — random sampling, k-Center Greedy coreset, Furthest Point Sampling (FPS), class-balanced oracle selection, and a novel domain-specific BIO-Diversity score combining per-channel entropy with patch-level boundary coverage — across four training data fractions (25%–100%) of the HPA Single-Cell Classification dataset. At 50% of training data, BIO-Diversity selection matches the macro-F1 of training on 75% of randomly sampled data and narrows the gap to the oracle by 62%, while also doubling the effective rank of learned representations compared to random sampling at equal budget. Our results demonstrate that morphological diversity metrics derived from biological priors (channel balance and organelle boundary coverage) are strong proxies for training sample utility in fluorescence microscopy fine-tuning.

Pre-trained Masked Autoencoders (MAE) have demonstrated strong performance on natural image benchmarks, but their utility for subcellular biology remains poorly characterized. We introduce OrgBoundMAE, a benchmark that evaluates MAE representations on organelle localization classification using the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) single-cell fluorescence image collection — 31,072 four-channel immunofluorescence crops covering 28 organelle classes. Our core hypothesis is that MAE's standard random patch masking at 75% is a poor proxy for biological reconstruction difficulty: it masks indiscriminately, forcing reconstruction of background cytoplasm rather than subcellular organization. We propose organelle-boundary-guided masking using Cellpose-derived boundary maps to preferentially mask patches at subcellular boundaries — regions of highest biological information density. We evaluate fine-tuned ViT-B/16 MAE against DINOv2-base and supervised ViT-B baselines, reporting macro-F1, feature effective rank (a diagnostic for dimensional collapse), and attention-map IoU against organelle masks. We show that boundary-guided masking recovers substantial macro-F1 relative to random masking at equivalent masking ratios, and that feature effective rank tracks this gap, confirming dimensional collapse as a mechanistic explanation for MAE's underperformance on rare organelle classes.

We present TOCLINK, an ultra-minimal AI agent that discovers every meaningful connection between two research papers by treating connection-finding as a throughput optimization problem. The agent implements Goldratt's Five Focusing Steps directly: identify the lowest-coverage connection dimension, exploit it maximally, subordinate all other reasoning to feed it, elevate if stuck, repeat. Paper ingestion uses Recursive Language Models (RLM) to handle arbitrarily long PDFs through programmatic decomposition. No frameworks. No vector databases. ~180 lines of Python. The key insight: frontier LLMs fail at exhaustive connection-finding not due to capability limits, but because they lack a throughput discipline—they converge on familiar connections and terminate. TOC provides exactly this discipline. We enumerate 15 formally distinct connection dimensions, formalize the Drum-Buffer-Rope token scheduler, and demonstrate 3× improvement in connection coverage versus naive prompting.
