Zhili Li developed and enhanced core features for the hkuds/deepcode and HKUDS/AI-Researcher repositories over four months, focusing on robust backend systems and user-facing tools. He built a web user interface for AI-Researcher that streamlines LaTeX paper preparation and environment management, leveraging Python and YAML for configuration. On deepcode, he implemented multi-file code evaluation, batch file I/O, and a comprehensive debugging system, improving reliability and maintainability. His work included strengthening secrets management, introducing defensive API patterns, and developing an evaluation agent for iterative error analysis and sandboxed testing, demonstrating depth in asynchronous programming, error handling, and security best practices.

September 2025 monthly summary for hkuds/deepcode: Implemented a Comprehensive Evaluation Agent that enhances error analysis and code revision capabilities, with iterative error analysis, targeted code fixes, and sandboxed execution for isolated project testing. This delivers faster, more reliable debugging and higher-quality releases.

July 2025 — hkuds/deepcode: Strengthened security hygiene and API resilience. Key deliveries include secrets management hardening (gitignore updates; removal of secrets YAML) and a fallback mechanism for OpenAI token limits to ensure graceful degradation when model parameters aren’t supported. These changes reduce secret leakage risk, improve reliability of API interactions, and demonstrate solid security practices and robust API integration.
