title: 'LLMRagent: Reproducible Language-Model Agents for Research'
version: 0.8.0
abstract: An 'R' interface built on 'LLMR' creates large language model (LLM) agents
  for use as reproducible and governed research instruments. Agents pair a model configuration
  with optional persona instructions. Stateful exchanges retain conversational memory,
  and native 'R' functions can serve as tools within declared budgets. Several agents
  can hold a turn-taking conversation over a shared transcript, and factorial experiments
  across such designs run in parallel. Model calls and tool activity are captured
  in a run object, so the research record extends beyond generated text. A study manifest
  hashes the design and computational apparatus without treating sampled replies as
  part of its identity, and a hash-sealed archive preserves it alongside transcripts
  and call records. Tool policies record declared side effects and can limit call
  counts or result sizes; calls marked for human review pause before execution. Robustness
  checks assess sensitivity to prompt or model changes, while calibration against
  human labels corrects estimates drawn from imperfect model labels.
