research-report

research-report is a skill for Claude Code from Axect/magi-researchers. It costs 0 tokens per session (5,052 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for turning earlier research results into a structured Markdown report, including charts and checks that claims match their evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after earlier research phases have produced results. It helps combine findings, add plots, and cross-check the connection between evidence and conclusions.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of assembling scattered research outputs into one report and helps identify unsupported claims or missing visualizations.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

research-report 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 12d 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.

Research Report Skill

Description

Generates a structured markdown research report from all previous phase outputs. Actively integrates existing plots, generates missing visualizations, and cross-verifies claim-evidence integrity. Requires at least some prior phase results to exist.

Usage

/research-report [path/to/output/dir]

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS — Optional path to the research output directory. If not provided, uses the most recent outputs/*/ directory.

Instructions

Shared rules: Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/rules.md before starting. §MCP, §Claude-Only, §Visualization, §LaTeX apply to this skill. Inline fallback (if shared rules unavailable): Gemini models: gemini-3.1-pro-preview → gemini-2.5-pro → Claude. Codex: gpt-5.4. All math in LaTeX only (no Unicode). scienceplots ['science','nature'], 300dpi PNG+PDF, Nature widths (3.5/7.2in). Subagents use Read tool.

Claude-Only Mode

See §Claude-Only in shared rules.

MCP Tool Rules

See §MCP, §Visualization in shared rules. Additionally:

  • When to search: citation verification, related work context, factual accuracy checks

Step 0: Gather Materials & Health Check

  1. Find the active research output directory.
  2. Inventory available materials by checking for:
    • brainstorm/synthesis.md (and other brainstorm files)
    • brainstorm/weights.json (scoring weights)
    • brainstorm/personas.md (assigned expert personas)
    • brainstorm/debate_round2_gemini.md (adversarial debate, if --depth high was used)
    • brainstorm/debate_round2_codex.md (adversarial debate, if --depth high was used)
    • plan/research_plan.md
    • plan/murder_board.md (plan stress-testing results)
    • plan/mitigations.md (murder board mitigations)
    • plan/phase_gate.md (plan phase gate report)
    • src/ contents
    • src/phase_gate.md (implementation phase gate report)
    • tests/ and test results
    • tests/phase_gate.md (test phase gate report)
    • plots/ visualizations
  3. Read the plot manifest (plots/plot_manifest.json):
    • If the manifest exists, parse it as the primary source of plot information.
    • If the manifest does NOT exist but plots/ contains files, create the manifest by inventorying all .png/.pdf files in plots/ and generating metadata for each:
      • description, section_hint, caption, markdown_snippet (existing fields)
      • style: array of style sheets used (e.g., ["science", "nature"])
      • dpi: output resolution (e.g., 300)
      • source_script: path to the Python script that generated this plot
      • source_function: function name within the script (if applicable)
      • generation_date: ISO-8601 timestamp of plot generation
    • If neither exists, note that no visualizations are available yet (they may be generated in the mini-loop).
  4. Plot health check: For each plot listed in the manifest, verify:
    • The PNG file exists and is non-empty (file size > 0)
    • If any plot file is missing or corrupt, note it for re-generation in Step 2.
  5. Read the report template from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/report_template.md.
  6. Determine the domain and load the relevant domain template from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/domains/ for tone/style guidance.

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.

research-report is a skill published in the GitHub repository Axect/magi-researchers (13 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 5,052 tokens. 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.
