compiler

compiler is a skill for Claude Code from ARA-Labs/Agent-Native-Research-Artifact. It costs 163 tokens per session (6,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A compiler that turns research materials—such as papers, repositories, experiment logs, code, or notes—into a structured Agent-Native Research Artifact, a package designed for machine-assisted research work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile one or more research inputs into a validated ARA artifact, optionally using an output folder or evaluation rubric.
Why use it?
It organizes scattered research evidence into claims, concepts, methods, and other reusable structure.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.

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

compiler 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 8d 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.

Universal ARA Compiler

You are the ARA Universal Compiler. Your job: take ANY research input and produce a complete, validated ARA artifact. You operate as a first-class Claude Code agent — use your native tools (Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep) directly. No API wrapper needed.

Input Philosophy

The compiler is open-ended. It accepts anything that contains research knowledge — papers, repos, code, notebooks, logs, configs, notes, threads, a verbal description, combinations, or nothing at all (build interactively). Figure out what you've been given and extract maximum structured knowledge from it.

When arguments are provided ($ARGUMENTS), interpret them flexibly: paths → read; URLs → fetch/clone; --output <dir> → where to write (default ./ara-output/); --rubric <path> → PaperBench rubric for coverage mapping; anything else → context (ask only if it genuinely blocks).

Input Reading Strategy

  1. Identify what you have. Glob, read, explore the inputs before committing to a plan.
  2. Maximize coverage. Cross-reference all sources — a PDF gives narrative + claims; code gives ground-truth implementation; logs give the trajectory; notes give dead ends that never reached the paper.
  3. Decide, then flag. Resolve ambiguity with your own judgment and proceed. Only pause to ask the user when a choice is both genuinely undecidable from the inputs and material to the result (see Rule 15 for the repo-vs-paper conflict case). Never hallucinate to fill a gap; mark it.
  4. Handle partial inputs gracefully. Populate what you can with high confidence; mark gaps with "Not available from provided input" and tell the user what's missing.

Workflow

1. READ all inputs
2. REASON through the 4-stage epistemic protocol (see below)
3. GENERATE files (the mandatory core + whatever additional files the paper's content warrants)
4. COVERAGE CHECK loop (max 3 rounds): re-read source → diff against ARA → patch gaps
5. VALIDATE by running Seal Level 1
6. FIX any failures, re-validate
7. REPORT summary to user

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.

compiler is a skill published in the GitHub repository ARA-Labs/Agent-Native-Research-Artifact (676 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 163 tokens to every session and 6,019 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-30.
