Overview

ARS-Codex packages the Academic Research Skills workflow as a single Codex skill, `academic-research-suite`, installable as a Codex plugin or directly from the repo. A router sends requests to six workflows: deep-research, academic-paper, academic-paper-reviewer, academic-pipeline, sr-screener and experiment-agent. It also emulates the Claude Code `/ars-*` commands as plain aliases. It vendors upstream ARS v3.24.2.

Who it is for: Researchers using Codex for literature review, papers and peer review

Strengths

  • Single skill entry routes to six workflows, including systematic-review screening with eight modes
  • Installs via `codex plugin add` or a skill-installer script from the repo path
  • Maps Claude-style `/ars-*` commands to plain aliases such as `ars-plan` and `ars-reviewer`
  • Includes quality-gate script and smoke tests to verify routing and install

Weaknesses

  • License is CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use is not permitted
  • Claude hooks and slash commands are not registered in Codex; kept as reference only
  • Reviewer confirmation stop is prompt-level; README says Codex adherence is unmeasured
  • Screening accuracy and model settings are unmeasured; output-language pack supports only zh-tw-en

What it needs

  • no GPU
  • Needs Codex CLI or Codex Desktop, Python 3
  • Models: gpt-6-astra (project default in .codex/config.toml)

What changed

From the release notes. No flag means the note does not say so, not that the upgrade is safe.
