phd-vibe-research-workflow

phd-vibe-research-workflow is a skill for Codex from Immortalqx/my_codex_skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (1,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using AI for research coding, figures, and writing while keeping the researcher responsible for scientific decisions and accuracy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose AI tools and workflows for implementing code, making figures, polishing writing, and checking that AI use does not lead to fabricated citations or hidden authorship.
Why use it?
It separates routine work that AI can assist with from research judgments that should remain with the researcher, including study design, interpretation, and evidence checks.

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

phd-vibe-research-workflow 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 11d 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.

Vibe Research Workflow

Overview

Vibe Research is the modern research workflow where large language models and AI coding tools handle mechanical tasks (implementation, figure rendering, language polish) while the researcher retains full ownership of research direction, problem framing, experimental design, and factual accuracy. The goal is a two-to-five times productivity gain on routine tasks without compromising academic integrity.

The skill has three sub-flows: Vibe Coding (AI-assisted code), Vibe Figure (AI-assisted figure production), Vibe Writing (AI-assisted prose polish). Each is governed by six behavioural rules that draw a hard line between acceptable use (mechanical acceleration, auxiliary suggestions, style correction) and academic misconduct (fabricated citations, outsourced scientific judgment, hidden AI authorship).

This skill is a meta-skill that orchestrates tool selection, flow design, and integrity enforcement across a research session. It consolidates the the curriculum's Vibe Research section into a single invocable procedure.

When to use this skill

  • Starting a new AI-assisted work block (a morning of coding, a figure day, a writing session).
  • The user asks 'how to use AI for research', 'Vibe Coding tips', 'AI-assisted writing workflow', 'which AI tool for this'.
  • The user is choosing between Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Figma, Gemini, or other tools.
  • The user wants a workflow plan for a multi-day project involving AI.
  • The user suspects AI output has drifted into unacceptable territory (fabricated citations, outsourced reasoning).

When NOT to use this skill

  • The user wants AI to generate the paper directly. Reject politely; the integrity rules forbid it. Redirect to phd-intro-drafter, phd-tech-paper-template, or phd-pre-submission-reviewer depending on intent.
  • The user wants a code implementation done. This skill guides the process; it does not replace the implementation itself.
  • The user wants to evaluate research direction. Use phd-idea-evaluator (see phd-idea-evaluator and its reference files for deeper disruptive-innovation evaluation).

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.
