literature-wiki

literature-wiki is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jinleiphys/research_LLM_wiki. It costs 233 tokens per session (4,642 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A personal literature wiki: a linked collection of Markdown pages that stores paper summaries and connects them to related methods, systems, and concepts. It is designed to build cumulative research knowledge instead of starting from each paper again.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize papers, integrate new findings into existing topic pages, maintain cross-references, update paper indexes, migrate older wiki pages, and run consistency checks.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated reading and helps preserve connections across papers as the collection grows.

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

literature-wiki 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 298 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Literature Wiki Maintenance (Schema v2)

This file is the canonical operational protocol. Harness-neutral. The skill ships parallel SKILL.md (Claude Code) and AGENTS.md (Codex CLI) bodies kept in sync by hand. If you edit one, edit the other.

Schema v2 (current) introduces controlled vocabulary on the source frontmatter and an update-index operation that augments each concept page (methods/.md, systems/.md, etc.) with an auto-generated "Papers using this" appendix. Pre-v2 wikis can run migrate to backfill.

v2.1 addition: every source page opens with a ## For future agents gist (see "Source page gist" below). Pre-v2.1 source pages get backfilled on next touch or flagged by lint.

Why this skill exists

Most LLM-document workflows look like RAG: every question re-discovers knowledge from raw PDFs. Nothing accumulates. For a researcher reading dozens of papers a year on related topics, this is wasted compounding.

This skill maintains a persistent, structured wiki of markdown files. When the user reads a new paper, the skill reads it, extracts what matters, and integrates it into existing entity / method / system pages — updating cross-references, flagging where new data contradicts old claims, strengthening the evolving synthesis. The wiki is the compiled artifact; the raw PDFs sit beside it but are not the primary lookup layer.

The user curates and asks. The skill writes and maintains.

The pattern is field-independent. Default category names suit physical-science research; users in other fields rename in their <wiki>/CLAUDE.md.

Wiki location

Resolution order:

  1. LITERATURE_WIKI_PATH env var.
  2. ~/.literature-wiki-path (single-line absolute path).
  3. Default: ~/research-wiki/.

If absent, ask before creating.

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.
