arXiv: NORA — Harness-Engineered Autonomous Research Agent with 21 Skills and 9 Sub-Agents (2605.02092)
arXiv·low signal
NORA (Night Owl Research Agent) presents a multi-agent autonomous research system for spatial data science that orchestrates the complete research lifecycle through a skills-first architecture comprising 21 domain-specialized workflow skills and 9 specialist sub-agents. The paper demonstrates that harness engineering — structuring agent capabilities as composable skills rather than monolithic prompts — enables reliable end-to-end scientific workflows.
