Advait Paliwal 7024a86024 Replace Pi tool registrations with skills and CLI integration
- Remove all manually registered Pi tools (alpha_search, alpha_get_paper,
  alpha_ask_paper, alpha_annotate_paper, alpha_list_annotations,
  alpha_read_code, session_search, preview_file) and their wrappers
  (alpha.ts, preview.ts, session-search.ts, alpha-tools.test.ts)
- Add Pi skill files for alpha-research, session-search, preview,
  modal-compute, and runpod-compute in skills/
- Sync skills to ~/.feynman/agent/skills/ on startup via syncBundledAssets
- Add node_modules/.bin to Pi subprocess PATH so alpha CLI is accessible
- Add /outputs extension command to browse research artifacts via dialog
- Add Modal and RunPod as execution environments in /replicate and
  /autoresearch prompts
- Remove redundant /alpha-login /alpha-logout /alpha-status REPL commands
  (feynman alpha CLI still works)
- Update README, researcher agent, metadata, and website docs

Slash Commands Complete reference for REPL slash commands. Reference 2

Slash commands are available inside the Feynman REPL. They map to research workflows, project management tools, and setup utilities. Type /help inside the REPL for the live command list, which may include additional commands from installed Pi packages.

Research workflows

Command Description
/deepresearch <topic> Run a thorough, source-heavy investigation and produce a research brief with inline citations
/lit <topic> Run a structured literature review with consensus, disagreements, and open questions
/review <artifact> Simulate a peer review with severity-graded feedback and inline annotations
/audit <item> Compare a paper's claims against its public codebase for mismatches and reproducibility risks
/replicate <paper> Plan or execute a replication workflow for a paper, claim, or benchmark
/compare <topic> Compare multiple sources and produce an agreement/disagreement matrix
/draft <topic> Generate a paper-style draft from research findings
/autoresearch <idea> Start an autonomous experiment loop that iteratively optimizes toward a goal
/watch <topic> Set up recurring research monitoring on a topic

These are the primary commands you will use day-to-day. Each workflow dispatches one or more specialized agents (researcher, reviewer, writer, verifier) depending on the task.

Project and session

Command Description
/log Write a durable session log with completed work, findings, open questions, and next steps
/jobs Inspect active background work: running processes, scheduled follow-ups, and active watches
/help Show grouped Feynman commands and prefill the editor with a selected command
/init Bootstrap AGENTS.md and session-log folders for a new research project
/outputs Browse all research artifacts (papers, outputs, experiments, notes)
/search Search prior session transcripts for past research and findings
/preview Preview the current artifact as rendered HTML or PDF

Session management commands help you organize ongoing work. The /log command is particularly useful at the end of a research session to capture what was accomplished and what remains.

Running workflows from the CLI

All research workflow slash commands can also be run directly from the command line:

feynman deepresearch "topic"
feynman lit "topic"
feynman review artifact.md
feynman audit 2401.12345
feynman replicate "claim"
feynman compare "topic"
feynman draft "topic"

This is equivalent to launching the REPL and typing the slash command. The CLI form is useful for scripting and automation.
