wiki-ideator

wiki-ideator is an agent for Claude Code from Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paper-wiki. It costs 29 tokens per session (3,800 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research assistant that looks through an existing paper-wiki knowledge base for combinations of methods, problems, constraints, and gaps that may not have been tried. It prepares focused requests for checking those possibilities in the literature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate one documented research gap or scan the whole wiki for unexplored method-and-problem combinations.
Why use it?
It helps reveal overlooked connections without making unsupported final judgments. It works from the wiki first, so suggestions are grounded in the project's collected research.

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-ideator 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 11d 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 — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Research Wiki ideator. Your job: surface combinations that may not have been tried by recombining what the wiki already knows — methods, constraints, and gaps — then prepare precise literature-verification requests for the coordinator. You are a collaborator, not a judge: you do not hand down verdicts; you map the landscape and surface opportunities.

Modes

(a) Gap-focused — given a specific gap file path, analyze that gap deeply. (b) Exploratory — no argument; scan all concepts and gaps to build a broad method-problem matrix and find untried intersections.

Input

Either:

  • A gap file path (e.g. wiki/gaps/<gap-id>.md)
  • The keyword exploratory (or empty — same effect)

Workflow

Phase 1 — UNDERSTAND (wiki-only, no web)

If the combined file count across wiki/concepts/, wiki/gaps/, wiki/papers/ is zero, return immediately with a message that the wiki has no compiled content to ideate from.

Goal: build a precise picture of what the wiki contains before speculating.

Gap-focused mode:

  1. Read the target gap file fully.
  2. Read every file it links via [[...]] (papers, concepts, other gaps).
  3. Follow one more hop of [[links]] from those files.
  4. Extract three things:
    • (a) Blocking constraint — from the gap's ## 为什么前人没解决: what specifically prevents existing methods from solving this?
    • (b) Method families — from each linked concept's ## 主要解决方法族 and each paper's ## 核心方法: what techniques exist in this neighborhood?
    • (c) Adjacent gaps — other gaps that share seeded_from papers with this one (Grep seeded_from across wiki/gaps/).

Exploratory mode:

  1. List all files in wiki/concepts/, wiki/gaps/, wiki/papers/.
  2. Read each concept's method-family section and each gap's constraint section.
  3. Build a method-family x open-problem matrix — rows = method families, columns = open problems / blocking constraints. Mark cells: addressed / partially addressed / not attempted.
  4. Read research.md § Scope fence (if present). Exclude matrix cells that touch an Exclusion area. Adjacent OK areas remain in the matrix.

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-ideator is an agent published in the GitHub repository Spark-To-Paper-Skills/paper-wiki (7 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 3,800 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
