Description: Automated psychological scale development and structural
        validation using large language models (LLMs) and network
        psychometric methods. Implements the AI-GENIE framework
        (Automatic Item Generation and Validation via
        Network-Integrated Evaluation) to generate candidate items,
        compute embedding representations, and estimate dimensional
        structure using Exploratory Graph Analysis (EGA). Item quality
        is evaluated using Unique Variable Analysis to identify
        redundant items and Bootstrap EGA to assess item and dimension
        stability. Supports both fully automated item generation and
        analysis of user-provided item sets, facilitating efficient,
        theory-informed measurement development prior to empirical data
        collection.
