# Marchwarden
A network of agentic research specialists coordinated by a principal investigator agent.
Marchwarden researchers are stationed at the frontier of knowledge — they watch, search, synthesize, and report back what they find. Each specialist is self-contained, fault-tolerant, and exposed via MCP. The PI agent orchestrates them to answer complex, multi-domain questions.
**V1**: Single web-search researcher + CLI shim for development.
**V2+**: Multiple specialists (arxiv, database, internal docs, etc.) + PI orchestrator.
## Quick start

cd marchwarden
# Install
pip install -e .
# Ask a question
marchwarden ask "What are ideal crops for a garden in Utah?"
# Replay a research session
marchwarden replay <trace_id>
```
