What It Is

Qiongli is an academic workflow system for researchers who use Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Antigravity, Hermes, or similar AI agents. Use it when a research task is too important for a one-off prompt and needs visible evidence, repeatable steps, and reviewable outputs.

You can use Qiongli to:

• choose a paper route for empirical, qualitative, systematic review, RCT, theory, and code-first methods projects;
• structure literature search, citation checking, study design, writing, code, review, submission, and rebuttal work;
• keep claims, sources, methods decisions, review notes, and generated artifacts in predictable project paths;
• run lightweight skill/plugin workflows first, then add the full local orchestrator only when you need controlled solo, duo, or triad agent execution.

The name comes from 穷理: keep asking what principle, evidence, and limit sits underneath a claim.

Install Fast

The npm CLI is a Python-free asset manager. It installs the skills surface by default:

npm install -g qiongli
qiongli install --target auto --surface skills
qiongli check

For scripted installs, keep the project directory explicit:

qiongli install --target all --project-dir "$PWD"

--target all writes every supported platform path explicitly. Use --target auto to detect supported client CLIs on PATH and install only those client surfaces.

Use project-local subject guidance instead of reinstalling packages for every topic:

qiongli project init --project-dir "$PWD"
qiongli project set-subject finance --project-dir "$PWD"
qiongli project status --project-dir "$PWD"
