Hunt for exoplanet candidates in public telescope data with Claude Code
A Reddit post, widely discussed on HN, describes an amateur using Claude Code to search public data and find what he thinks is an unknown planet.
Researcher use cases
Real things people did with Researcher work, sourced and with recipes.
Use cases
Screen new magnetic materials for computer memory with an agent team
A researcher used a team of Claude Opus agents to run physics simulations and surface two candidate magnets for spin-based memory, then published every calculation.
Study which tools coding agents pick for you
A team ran about 17k coding-agent sessions to see which databases and services Claude Code, Codex and Cursor choose.
Separate evidence, execution and review in agent research
A developer built an R&D skill for Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode with traceable artifacts and gates.
Run an auto-research loop with Codex to speed up a GPU kernel
A developer ran Codex in an auto-research loop for a GPU Mode contest and reached a 232x speedup over baseline on QR decomposition.
Run deep research with a hard budget and verified quotes
An open-source terminal research agent enforces a spending cap, attaches a source to every claim and keeps local data local.
Fact-check a video or article claim by claim with agent skills
Open-source agent skills check any YouTube video, article, tweet or PDF claim by claim, with sources and a 0-10 score.
Attack open math problems with 20 parallel agents and Lean proofs
A builder runs up to 20 GPT-powered agent harnesses in parallel on open ErdΕs problems, checking proofs in Lean 4.
Prove a research idea on vacation with Claude Code
An open-source maintainer used Claude Code on a beach to show common geo and climate operations can be written as SQL, and even built a neural network in SQL.
Build a SaaS for researchers without knowing how to code
A researcher with no web background built an AI tool for scientific figures with Claude and Cursor and reports about $1K MRR 25 days after launch.
