Building a research-software catalog with a coding agent: from hackathon prototype to public deployment

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 4, 2026 · UTC

Generative AI and coding agents can accelerate research software development, but they also increase the need for efficient software discovery and maintenance. We developed a repository catalog during a three-day hackathon and subsequently examined the engineering required to make it suitable for public deployment, including adversarial review, data-quality checks, browser-level validation, and publication safeguards. We then explored whether the lessons learned from this prototype could be transferred to a much larger, human-curated portal, through a retrieval agent under development for Mate
