CARS (Collaborative Academic Research System)

CARS is a sophisticated multi-agent framework designed to guide researchers from vague ideas to rigorous hypotheses. It employs a unique 'chessboard reading method' (methods vs. problems) and Socratic cognitive diagnosis to extract and refine user cognition.

Key Capabilities:

• Socratic Dialogue: Extracts raw cognitive material through a 5-layer structured conversation.
• Literature Scouting: Integrates Semantic Scholar MCP tools for targeted literature retrieval.
• Matrix Engine: Maintains a 2D grid of methods and problems to highlight research blank spots.
• Cognitive Profiling: Generates and updates user cognition profiles based on dialogue records.
• Multi-Topic Management: Isolates different research projects within a structured workspace.
