Then ask it anything about the work, or ask it to reproduce a figure. Other coding agents work too.

Summary
Rather than publishing only a static paper, APP proposes a more reproducible,
informative, and interactive publication format. An APP publication is an
organized bundle of the research work: paper, code, data, environment
information, and related context, together with an AGENTS.md instruction file
that lets future readers interact with a faithful paper agent.
The goal is for scientific publications to carry not only knowledge, but also
know-how: the practical understanding needed to interpret, reproduce, and build
on the work, which has traditionally been difficult to transfer faithfully. The
paper defines the protocol, describes agent skills for preparing APP
publications, and reports a small compare-app evaluation in which APP paper
agents show stronger grounding and honesty than a general repository-aware agent.
