research-profile

research-profile is a skill for Codex from jinleiphys/research_LLM_wiki. It costs 132 tokens per session (7,206 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A system for maintaining a personal research wiki at /research-wiki-personal/. A research wiki is an organized collection of notes about projects, papers, ideas, methods, collaborators, talks, reviews, funding, and career materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record research projects, papers, ideas, failed attempts, methods, collaborators, talks, reviews, funding, profile updates, and CV snapshots.
Why use it?
It keeps research knowledge in one structured, searchable place and records failures and changing facts so they are easier to reuse later.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

Good fit Use it to record research projects, papers, ideas, failed attempts, methods, collaborators, talks, reviews, funding, profile updates, and CV snapshots.

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 B, and why

research-profile scanned grade B 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (templates/pre-commit-hook.sh), 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

- Claude Code: `grep -Fxq` for the import line in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` first; skip if present, else show diff and ask before appending.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 476 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Profile Maintenance (Schema v2)

This file is the canonical operational protocol. It is harness-neutral. The skill ships parallel SKILL.md (Claude Code entry) and AGENTS.md (Codex CLI entry) bodies that mirror each other; if you edit one, edit the other.

Schema v2 (current) introduces controlled vocabulary, tag-driven indexing, AUTO-marker profile sections, and an explicit migrate path from v1. See Migration from v1 below if you have a v1 wiki.

v2.1 addition: bi-temporal timeline: frontmatter for tracked facts that change over time (see "Bi-temporal facts" below). Existing pages adopt it lazily, on the first change to a tracked fact.

Why this skill exists

Memory of "what the user has worked on" should not live only in the user's head and in scattered drafts. It should be a curated, persistent, machine-queryable artifact that:

  1. Auto-loads into every new agent session, so the assistant starts with full context.
  2. Captures failures with reasons — research's most common scarring is doing the same dead-end twice. The wiki remembers so the user doesn't have to.
  3. Makes cross-cutting queries cheap. "What have I done on topic X?" should not require manual grep across years of notes; tag-driven indices answer it in one read.

This is the factual record of what the user has done, not a personality simulator.

Wiki location

Resolution order on every invocation:

  1. RESEARCH_PROFILE_PATH env var.
  2. ~/.research-profile-path (single-line absolute path).
  3. Default: ~/research-wiki-personal/.

This wiki is private. Treat the path with notebook-grade care. Recommend a local + private remote git repo. If the directory does not exist, ask before creating.

The auto-load mechanism

The single most important file is <wiki>/profile.md — a one-page summary structured to fit in <2k tokens. It is auto-loaded into every session via your harness's documented mechanism.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

research-profile is a skill published in the GitHub repository jinleiphys/research_LLM_wiki (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 7,206 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
