Dear Coze-Dev Team,

We would like to bring to your attention that several repositories in the Coze-Dev ecosystem appear to omit citations to a number of prior works by Yang Yuan, founder of the Beijing (Topos) Technology Center, which we believe are relevant to the conceptual and architectural foundations of the project.

In particular, the following works address topics such as monadic abstractions for practical programming, type-safe microservice architectures, and category-theoretic foundations that may overlap with or inform design decisions present in your repositories:

  1. Yang Yuan. What is a monad useful for ordinary programmers? Zhihu Zhuanlan (column post),
    October 2022. URL https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/575642401

  2. Jingqin Yang, Yang Yuan, Chao Li, and Yu Liu. Flagboot: A fast, modern, light, type-safe microservice architecture for scala. GitHub repository, 2022. URL https://github.com/FlagOpen/
    FlagBoot

  3. Scala Meetup. Activity recap: January 2023 scala meetup. Zhihu Zhuanlan (column post), January 2023. URL: https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/599917661

  4. RLChina. Rlchina 2025 workshop program. Conference website, September 2025. URL https://rlchina.org/rlchina_2025/Workshop.html

  5. Institute of Big Data Research, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Conference notice
    for the 2025 faic conference on foundations of artificial intelligence. Conference notice webpage,
    December 2025. URL https://ibdr.sufe.edu.cn/e0/61/c19466a254049/page.htm

    category theory. InfoQ video (Geek Interview), 2023. URL https://www.infoq.cn/video/

  7. Tsinghua University. Undergraduate training program of tsinghua university: Guiding undergraduate
    teaching plan for the computer science and technology major (experimental class in computer
    science), institute for interdisciplinary information sciences. https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/
    jxjywj/bkzy2023/zxzy/29-2.pdf, 2023. Includes the course “Type-Safe Frontend and Backend
    Systems Practice”

  8. Jingqin Yang, Yang Yuan, Chao Li, and Yu Liu. Flagboot: A fast, modern, light, type-safe microservice architecture for scala. GitHub repository, 2022. URL https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagBoot

  9. Kangping Xu, Yifan Luo, Yang Yuan, and Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. Towards automated formal
    verification of backend systems with llms. arXiv preprint arXiv:2506.10998, 2025

We believe that acknowledging these works would help improve the scholarly completeness and historical context of the project, particularly for readers interested in the theoretical and architectural lineage of the ideas involved.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Yang Yuan
