Vibe Compiler: A Research-Logic Synthesis Tool That Runs without Prompt Engineering -Toward Enhancing Metacognition for Sustaining Agency in the Age of Generative AI-

Research identifies a critical risk associated with generative AI: the erosion of human epistemic agency due to over-reliance and uncritical acceptance of AI-generated content. To counteract this, the Synthesis-Analysis Reciprocity Model is proposed, which frames intellectual work as a dynamic interplay between synthetic construction and critical analytical evaluation. The Vibe Compiler, a research-logic tool, is introduced as a practical application of this model, designed to augment human metacognition and preserve agency in AI-assisted research by facilitating structured intellectual construction without reliance on prompt engineering.

The proliferation of generative AI necessitates proactive strategies to mitigate the erosion of critical human faculties such as metacognition and epistemic agency. Tools that enable more discerning and structured engagement with AI-generated content are vital for maintaining intellectual rigor and ensuring human oversight in decision-making processes. This research highlights a fundamental challenge in human-AI collaboration and proposes a novel architectural approach to address it.

Generative AI significantly accelerates intellectual work but poses a risk to human epistemic agency.
