AtomForge

AtomForge is a materials science research and discovery platform.

"You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the Science gets done." — GLaDOS, autoresearcher

Components:

1. Agent loop - eg Claude Code
2. Arxiv Skill for research
3. AtomForge skill for interfacing with AtomForgePlatform
4. AtomForge cli for running experiments/validating hypotheses via Modal compute (cpu/gpu)
5. Agent for iterating or generating a report
6. React frontend for visualizing result

Setup

1. Install deps:

uv sync --extra dev --extra physics

2. Run tests:

uv run pytest -q

3. Run one DAG on Modal:

uv run modal run atomforge/api.py --spec-path dags/w_cascade_2023_repro_v1.json

4. Inspect outputs (local artifacts persisted by run):

ls research
ls research/manifests

Expected evidence:

• research/w-cascade-2023-repro-v1.json (result bundle)
• research/w-cascade-2023-repro-v1.md (human-readable report)
• research/manifests/w-cascade-2023-repro-v1_manifest.json (reproducibility metadata)

Quickstart

uv sync
uv run atomforge serve
