Beyond the Chatbox: LLM Coding Agents for Research

Beyond the Chatbox

Welcome to Beyond the Chatbox: LLM Coding Agents for Research (September 2026).

You will use a coding agent on small research tasks, check its work, and stay responsible for the result.

What you need

  • A GitHub account
  • Basic file and terminal skills
  • The supplied fake data. Do not bring real research data.

We use OpenCode in a disposable GitHub Codespace. Antigravity, Codex, and Claude are optional comparisons.

Start with Open the Codespace, then find your way around VS Code and choose an agent.
