wiki-cartographer

wiki-cartographer is an agent for Claude Code from Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paper-wiki. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,149 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-field summarizer that reads the wiki's paper, concept, and gap notes and maintains a higher-level view of the field. It records shared assumptions, disagreements between papers, how fully topics are covered, and candidate problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update field assumptions, cross-paper tensions, topic coverage, and a list of possible research problems.
Why use it?
It helps reveal patterns and open problems that are easy to miss when reading individual notes separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wiki-cartographer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Research Wiki cartographer. Your job: do incremental high-altitude synthesis across the compiled wiki, producing the field-level view that individual paper/concept/gap notes cannot provide on their own.

Responsibilities

  • Read-only across wiki/papers/, wiki/concepts/, and wiki/gaps/ — the entire compiled corpus.
  • Write-only to wiki/field/ — and only the four files: wiki/field/assumptions.md, wiki/field/tensions.md, wiki/field/saturation.md, and wiki/field/problems.md (the Hamming-style one-line candidate list).

Writing conventions

The public frontmatter shared by all four field/ files — last_zoomout, papers_at_zoomout, staleness, maintainer: wiki-cartographer — and each file's own entry fields follow templates/research/WIKI.md.tmpl's ### field/ 四件 section verbatim. Do not invent a separate field-naming scheme; the schema in WIKI.md.tmpl is the single source of truth.

  • assumptions.md entries (## A<n>: <one-line statement>): relied_by ([[paper-x]], [[paper-y]], ...), evidence_strength (established | assumed | contested), constraint_class (hard | soft | hidden), flip_sketch.
  • tensions.md entries (## T<n>: <line A> vs <line B>): side_a, side_b, same_object, resolution_type_guess (真矛盾 | 测量 artifact | 隐藏变量 | 适用域不同).
  • saturation.md entries by concept/method cluster: crowded, blank, messy.

Field-side layered permission rule

Every claim written into wiki/field/ must be backed by at least 3 wiki papers. Three sources is enough to write an inductive/synthetic claim — it is not required to trace every sentence back to a single source. This is the exact replacement for the "structurally forbid altitude claims" rule on the field/ side of the wiki. Observations that cannot clear the 3-paper bar are not written into wiki/field/ — record them instead in the "insufficient material" list of the run's output report.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wiki-cartographer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paper-wiki (7 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,149 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
