Research Agent (Deutsch)

Modular research pipeline for scientific literature search. Uses exclusively Python standard library (urllib, xml, json).

Architecture

ResearchAgent (Orchestrator)
  sources/          Data sources (PubMed, arXiv)
    base.py         Article/SearchResult dataclasses, Source ABC
    pubmed.py       NCBI E-utilities (esearch + efetch)
    arxiv.py        arXiv Atom API
  workflows/        Research workflows
    quick_search.py Quick search across multiple sources
    literature_review.py  4-phase literature review

Usage as Python Library

python
from scripts.agent import ResearchAgent

agent = ResearchAgent()

# Quick search (Deutsch)
result = agent.search("machine learning diagnostics", max_results=10)
print(result)

# Structured literature review (Deutsch)
plan = agent.create_review_plan("transformer architectures", years=3)
print(plan.total_articles, "articles found")

# Save result (Deutsch)
agent.save_result(result, "research_ml.md", fmt="markdown")

Usage as CLI

bash
cd scripts
python -m ResearchAgent search "quantum computing" --max 20
python -m ResearchAgent review "CRISPR gene editing" --years 5

Data Sources

| Source | API | Rate Limit | Access | |--------|-----|------------|--------| | PubMed | NCBI E-utilities | 3/s (without key), 10/s (with key) | Free | | arXiv | Atom REST API | None documented | Free |

Extensible: New sources implement the Source ABC from sources/base.py.

Extension

python
from scripts.sources.base import Source, SearchResult

class MySource(Source):
    @property
    def name(self) -> str:
        return "my-source"

    def search(self, query, max_results=10, **kwargs):
        # Implement API query
        ...

    def get_article(self, article_id):
        ...

    def is_available(self) -> bool:
        return True

BACH Notes

> Only relevant when used within BACH.

python
from scripts.agent import ResearchAgent
agent = ResearchAgent(use_bach=True)  # Optional BACH integration
