Particle physics simulations typically live in tangled webs of handwritten scripts that break when passed between collaborators or rerun months later. MAGE-HEP introduces a graphical environment that organizes work into a project-study-run hierarchy, letting analysts define generator configurations, observables, and selections through a structured interface that auto-generates C++/ROOT code. Studies can be bundled and exported as portable files for sharing. The current beta validates the concept using PYTHIA8 and ROOT, with live output inspection and manifest-based run tracking.
