Advanced API

Higher-order methods for longer-term integrations. These return Promise types with substantially longer settlement windows than the core API.

Methods

collaborate(options: CollaborationOptions): Promise<Collaboration>

Initiate a long-term research collaboration. Unlike schedule(), which is bounded by a single meeting, collaborate() opens a persistent channel with shared state, recurring sync points, and a non-trivial commitment window.

interface CollaborationOptions {
  topic: string;
  duration: '3m' | '6m' | '12m' | 'open-ended';
  intensity: 'background' | 'engaged' | 'primary';
  outputs: ('paper' | 'code' | 'talk' | 'workshop')[];
  institutions?: string[];
}

interface Collaboration {
  id: string;
  startDate: Date;
  cadence: 'weekly' | 'biweekly' | 'monthly';
  sharedRepo?: string;
  status: 'active' | 'paused' | 'shipped';
}

Notes. Collaborations with intensity: 'primary' are subject to capacity constraints; see Rate Limits. Cross-institutional partnerships may require IP, data-sharing, or affiliation paperwork — resolve with daniel.scheduleAdminMeeting() (not documented).

mentor(options: MentoringOptions): Promise<MentoringRelationship>

Open a structured mentoring relationship. Available for graduate students, early-career researchers, and engineers transitioning into ML-for-science.

interface MentoringOptions {
  level: 'undergrad' | 'masters' | 'phd' | 'postdoc' | 'industry';
  topic: string;
  cadence: 'weekly' | 'biweekly' | 'monthly';
  duration: string;
}

Returns a relationship object that emits progress, stuck, and breakthrough events.

---

peerReview(submission: Submission): Promise<Review>

Provide peer review on a manuscript, grant proposal, or thesis. SLA-bound; rejects with RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED if the current review queue exceeds capacity.

interface Submission {
  type: 'paper' | 'grant' | 'thesis' | 'workshop';
  venue?: string;
  deadline: Date;
  conflictOfInterest?: boolean;
}

interface Review {
  recommendation: 'accept' | 'minor' | 'major' | 'reject';
  comments: string;
  signed: boolean;  // default false
}

---

keynote(event: Event): Promise<Talk>

Request an invited talk, keynote, or tutorial. Subject to travel logistics and topical fit; see Examples for past talks.

const talk = await daniel.keynote({
  event: 'CHEP 2025',
  topic: 'graph-neural-networks-for-tracking',
  duration: '45m',
  format: 'in-person' | 'remote' | 'hybrid'
});

Error Codes

• CAPACITY_EXCEEDED — concurrent commitments at maximum
• TOPIC_OUT_OF_SCOPE — falls outside current research focus; consider Contact for routing
• CONFLICT_OF_INTEREST — declared during peerReview(); review re-routed
