ArXi:2604.28043v1 Announce Type: new We present Collaborative Agent Reasoning Engineering (CARE), a disciplined methodology for engineering Large Language Model (LLM) agents in scientific domains. Unlike ad-hoc trial-and-error approaches, CARE specifies behavior, grounding, tool orchestration, and verification through reusable artifacts and systematic, stage-gated phases. The methodology employs a three-party workflow involving Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs), developers, and LLM-based helper agents.
