scibudy 0.2.0

Codex-native scientific research expansion assistant with scholarly search, library management, and local semantic analysis

Scibudy

Scibudy is a Codex-native scientific research expansion assistant for scholarly search, library management, full-text ingestion, and local semantic analysis.

Scibudy combines:

• a local MCP server for Codex
• a shell-first CLI
• a browser management UI
• a layered install system for CPU-first and GPU-extended deployments

中文简介：

Scibudy 是一个面向 Codex 的科研增强助手，提供学术检索、文献库管理、全文分析和本地高质量语义检索能力。它既可以作为 MCP 工具，也可以作为独立 CLI 和本地管理界面使用。

Unified installer

npx scibudy-install --profile base

Profiles:

• base: search, library management, UI, Codex config
• analysis: base + analysis-oriented runtime conventions
• gpu-local: local GPU model environment and warm flow
• full: full bootstrap for a Linux GPU workstation

Source install

git clone [e-mail]:ONEMULE/scibudy.git
cd scibudy
python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .[dev]
scibudy bootstrap --profile base --install-codex

Runtime commands

Primary command aliases:

• scibudy
• scibudy-mcp
• compatibility aliases: research-cli, research-mcp

Examples:

scibudy search "simulation-based calibration" --mode general
scibudy collect "simulation-based calibration" --target-dir ~/Desktop/sbc-library
