One Person Lab App
The published desktop workbench that packages the One Person Lab Framework, Foundry Agents, and companion tools into one App for research, grants, presentations, and other expert knowledge work.
Overview
One Person Lab App is the lab’s published desktop workbench for serious long-running expert work. It gives users one place to start a task, attach a real workspace, enter the right Foundry line, keep progress visible, and collect deliverables such as manuscripts, proposal drafts, slide decks, review materials, and project files.
The public entry is the App repository: users can download the current macOS package from GitHub Releases or run the App-owned one-shot installer. The App prepares the local environment, checks the framework dependency and domain modules, connects companion tools, and presents progress, files, runtime status, and recoverable work context.
Product boundaries
| Layer | Public role |
|---|---|
| One Person Lab App | Published desktop product, release channel, first-run checks, updater metadata, screenshots, user documentation, and daily workbench surface. |
| One Person Lab Framework | Shared stage-led runtime and contract layer: CLI activation, runtime providers, queue, contracts, module discovery, skill sync, runtime snapshots, and progress projections. |
| Foundry Agents | Domain-specific judgment, quality verdicts, stage semantics, and deliverables for research, grants, presentations, and future expert-work lines. |
Current Foundry entries
| Product family | Current agent | User-facing work |
|---|---|---|
| Research Foundry | Med Auto Science (MAS) | Medical research, evidence organization, analysis, manuscript preparation, and auditable study progression. |
| Grant Foundry | Med Auto Grant (MAG) | Grant direction setting, proposal writing, and revision preparation. |
| Presentation Foundry | RedCube AI (RCA) | Slide decks, scripts, reports, defenses, and visual-deliverable review loops. |
Install
- macOS App: use the One Person Lab App Releases page for the current package.
- Terminal path: run the App-owned one-shot installer.
The project is suitable for internal beta testing through the App release channel. The OPL Framework remains the technical foundation behind the desktop product, and the Foundry Agents remain responsible for their own domain workflows and deliverables.
