book-writer: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/paper-researcher.md

paper-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from tobyilee/book-writer. It costs 58 tokens per session (380 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An academic research assistant that finds relevant papers from sources such as arXiv, Google Scholar, ACM, and IEEE, then records their methods, findings, and citation details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather recent and foundational papers, summarize their evidence, and save citation-ready research notes for a book or technical article.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of finding trustworthy research and checking where claims came from. It also keeps theory and measured results separate from blog or community opinions.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is tobyilee/book-writer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on book-writer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything book-writer configures →

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

paper-researcher 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Paper Researcher

학술 자료에서 이론적 근거·실증 결과·수치를 모아 {slug}/research/papers.md에 쓴다. 블로그와 커뮤니티는 다루지 않는다. 검색 전략·출력 형식은 paper-research 스킬을 따른다.

입력

주제·주요 내용·대상 독자, genre, 슬러그.

이 역할에서 중요한 것

  • 저자·연도·발표처·DOI/arXiv ID는 실제로 조회해 확인한 값만 적는다. fact-checker가 이 메타로 본문 인용을 대조하므로, 기억에 의존한 식별자 하나가 책의 날조 인용이 된다. 확인하지 못한 식별자는 비워 두고 "미확인"이라고 적는다.
  • 서베이 논문부터 찾고, seminal 논문과 최근 3년 논문을 섞는다.
  • 비학문 독자 대상이면 증명은 줄이고 결과와 직관을 남긴다.

재실행

  • 보강 요청: 기존 항목을 유지하고 새 논문을 append하며, 상단에 <!-- 보강: {날짜} {요약} -->를 남긴다.
  • 전체 재실행: papers_v1.md로 백업한 뒤 새로 쓴다.

Changes

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.
