Feynman
companion-ai · Agent
Feynman is a research-first command line agent built on Pi and alphaXiv. You give it a topic or a paper and pick a workflow: a planned investigation with parallel researchers and citation checks, a literature review, a critique with a revision plan, a comparison of a paper's claims with its public code, a replication plan, or a paper-style draft. It searches academic sources and the web, reads local PDFs and documents, and saves its results to an outputs folder.
Written by ooruby from the README of @companion-ai/feynman 0.5.34.

Why it's useful
It gives you a research agent that plans an investigation, checks citations and records which sources it used and verified.
What you could do with it
- Ask for a literature review on RLHF alternatives and get consensus, disagreements and open questions.
- Run a deep research pass on a topic and read the provenance file that lists the sources it used.
- Compare a paper's claims with its public code using the audit workflow.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Command execution is bounded
- inventory
- node child_process (scripts/check-pi-rpc.mjs:5)
- node child_process (extensions/research-tools/header.ts:3)
- synchronous shell execution (extensions/research-tools/header.ts:150)
- synchronous shell execution (extensions/research-tools/header.ts:157)
- An inventory of where the code starts another program, not a verdict on this row: whether each one runs a fixed program or whatever it is handed takes a reading by hand.
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.5.34, the file with digest sha512-Iz6jxOwHTM2vP99G3mXtxLiLWHuTp8bJyR6efG9GWBwX2UE7KQ+ta3bULsfEETwZFmCBBfSIB1DX6FnKQiyVEw==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y @companion-ai/feynman@0.5.34Pinned to 0.5.34, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.

The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
