night-market-research-frontier

night-market-research-frontier is a skill for Claude Code from athola/claude-night-market. It costs 42 tokens per session (5,563 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A list of open research problems where the repository might improve on the best published or shipped results, often called the state of the art. Its entries are possibilities, not claims that the project already has those capabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing research projects, framing experiments, and identifying problems that may lead to documented advances.
Why use it?
It keeps research planning separate from proven results and sets evidence rules before an idea is treated as an accepted finding.

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

night-market-research-frontier 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 13d 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 — 484 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Night Market Research Frontier

This file lists the open problems where this repository holds assets that the published state of the art does not. SOTA (state of the art) here means the best result shipped or published anywhere, not the best result in this repo. Every entry is a candidate. Nothing below is a claimed capability, and citing this file as evidence that a capability exists is an error.

Read this skill when choosing what research bet to place next, when framing an experiment, or when someone asks "what could this project contribute beyond itself?"

Ground rules

Follow these before starting any problem below.

  • Everything here stays labeled open or candidate until it clears the repo evidence bar: one mechanism must explain all observations including negatives, the hypothesis must predict numbers before the run, and the generator is never its own judge. The pipeline from hunch to accepted result is night-market-research-methodology.
  • Experiments are changes. They go through the same gates as any other change (night-market-change-control). This skill authorizes no shortcuts.
  • When a problem produces an accepted result, write the dated synthesis in docs/research/, update the changelog, and remove or re-scope the entry here. A frontier list that never shrinks is a wish list.

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.
