hep-workflow: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/hep-idea/SKILL.md

hep-idea is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from huangzhonglv/hep-workflow. It costs 128 tokens per session (6,512 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A research-idea generator for particle-physics phenomenology, the study of how theories could produce observable experimental effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create a research proposal, formalize the model, record experimental constraints, define calculation tasks, and prepare benchmark formulas for checking calculations.
Why use it?
It turns a broad research direction into a more specific project foundation instead of leaving the proposal at the level of vague topics.

This is huangzhonglv/hep-workflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on hep-workflow 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 hep-workflow 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 C, and why

hep-idea scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/init_project_skeleton.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

- **User gives a very vague direction** (e.g., "I want to do BSM"): Don't refuse. Consult `references/research-directions.md`, pick 3 diverse sub-topics, and present them as the candidate ideas.

HEP Idea Generator

Generate concrete, publishable research proposals for particle physics phenomenology. The goal is not to produce vague directions, but specific, well-scoped problems that can realistically lead to a paper.

Step 1: Determine the idea source strategy

Before generating ideas, ask the user which approach they want for this session. Present these three strategies and let them pick:

Strategy A - Experiment-driven: Start from a recent experimental anomaly or new data release (e.g., a tension in B-meson measurements, a new LHC search limit, updated neutrino oscillation data). The idea addresses the anomaly with a concrete model or reinterprets new bounds in an existing framework.

Strategy B - Theory-driven: Start from a theoretical model or mechanism and explore its phenomenological consequences in a region that hasn't been fully studied (e.g., extending a known Z' model to the lepton sector, combining a seesaw mechanism with a particular dark matter candidate).

Strategy C - Gap-driven: Start from an open question or gap identified in existing literature (e.g., "nobody has computed the one-loop correction to this process", "the interplay between constraints X and Y in this model class hasn't been mapped out").

If the user has already indicated a preference in their message (e.g., "there's a new anomaly in muon g-2, let's build a model for it"), skip the strategy question and proceed directly.

Step 2: Gather context

Based on the chosen strategy, collect the necessary inputs:

  • Strategy A: Ask what anomaly or dataset. If the user doesn't have one in mind, consult references/research-directions.md for current hot topics and suggest 2-5 recent experimental results worth investigating.

  • Strategy B: Ask what model or mechanism to start from. If vague, consult references/research-directions.md and suggest 2-5 model frameworks with unexplored phenomenological territory.

  • Strategy C: Ask what area to look for gaps. If the user has a previous project (check workspace/projects/ for completed projects), offer to read its conclusions and derive follow-up questions from there.

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.

hep-idea is a skill published in the GitHub repository huangzhonglv/hep-workflow (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 6,512 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (tells the agent never to refuse). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
