Key points

  • The authors built PARIS, a framework where a conductor agent running in Claude Code orchestrates 15 specialized large language model (LLM) agents.
  • All agents communicate exclusively through persisted artifacts, and the conductor validates each file before the next step.
  • Three human checkpoints keep study inclusion, corpus adequacy and the synthesis outline under human authority.
  • QualityScore grades the corpus from 0 to 100 before synthesis, and corpus improvements raised it from 74.6 to 81.9 in the first case study.
  • The second case study included 123 of 131 records and recorded a QualityScore of 69.1.
  • The authors' audits exposed failure modes such as incomplete retrieval, counts drifting between agents and unrecorded checkpoint decisions, and PARIS fully supports 8 of the 27 PRISMA 2020 items.
