What is this?
Mimir is an open-source research-workbench plugin that covers the whole research lifecycle: literature management, LaTeX paper writing and compiling, experiment tracking, figures, group-meeting decks, and remote GPU job orchestration, all driven by an AI agent.

Overview, Paper (LaTeX studio), Library (arXiv/web search), Experiments (metric charts), Figures, Meetings (group-meeting decks), Servers (GPU jobs), Ledger (research journal), and Venues (CCF conference/journal deadlines).What is the Ledger view?A humanized research journal that auto-captures idea evolution into a worktree, generates six-perspective digest capsules, and can produce a one-click progress report.
