Excerpt

AI4S Agent (meta-skill)

Overview

Top-level entry point for the AI4S research stack. This skill contains no work of its own — its only job is to call four downstream skills in the right order, with the right slug, and reuse intermediate artifacts by path convention.

direction → research-explorer → topic
topic     → literature-survey  (60+ real bib, 100+ recommended)
topic     → experiment-suite   (design + code + results + figures)
topic     → paper-writer       (assembles into 200+ cite PDF)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
