An MIT-licensed, open-source multi-agent research-laboratory framework
released by Mansouri, Kimura, Koga & Arai alongside their 2026 arXiv
paper on autonomous NV-diamond spin-ensemble research
(github.com/E-zClap/auctopus), running on OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. The
repository ships adaptable prompt templates but not the exact prompts
used in the paper's own study.

Watching, not hubbed: encountered in a single capture so far, with the
repository itself not yet independently read as a primary artifact — a
follow-up capture is the lead.
