SummaryXScientist is a git-like protocol and operating system for long-running autonomous scientific discovery. It orchestrates idea generation, experiments, drafting, review, and reproducibility as one observable pipeline, exporting an Agent-Native Research Artifact (ARA) that records an exploration DAG, per-node code/outputs, claim-to-evidence anchors, provenance, and re-execution hooks. Implementation is public on GitHub.
Why it mattersFrames autonomous research as a versioned, auditable artifact rather than a finished PDF. The exploration-DAG and claim-to-evidence model are concrete patterns worth borrowing for any long-running agent pipeline.
