A research plugin that extracts reusable problem-solving ideas from published literature, develops more general principles, and combines them into a synthesis. It coordinates fetching, reading, distilling, synthesising, and checking information through a /kw command.

It is for researching how problems have been solved, searching for similar problem structures, and developing or checking working methods from written sources.

It helps turn scattered reading into methods that can be reused for different problems. The input does not specify which literature sources it can access.

Security

Grade A, and why

kw-engine 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 yesterday.

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 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.
