TinyAssets: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/external-research-implications/SKILL.md

external-research-implications is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jonnyton/TinyAssets. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for studying an outside project, repository, paper, article, codebase, architecture, product, or benchmark and turning the findings into project-specific plans.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding what to learn from, copy, avoid, integrate, or build based on outside work.
Why use it?
It connects external research to the project's users, design decisions, and integration work instead of stopping at a general summary.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is Jonnyton/TinyAssets's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on TinyAssets 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 TinyAssets configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/validate_skills.py.

Nothing to install: this file belongs to Jonnyton/TinyAssets. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

external-research-implications 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 2mo 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.

External Research Implications

Overview

Turn outside work into durable TinyAssets learning. Use this when the user points at a project, repo, research paper, article, architecture, product, benchmark, or competitor and asks for implications, integration, comparison, or a plan.

The output is not a generic summary. The job is to understand the outside work, map it against TinyAssets, decide what matters for our users, and leave behind a reusable plan or artifact that future sessions can act on.

Boundary with implementation precedent

Use this skill when a named outside source or a research finding may change TinyAssets strategy, PLAN/OpenSpec design truth, capability direction, or cross-task architecture. Use a repo search for precedent instead for a bounded search for external code examples that informs one implementation decision inside an already-authorized lane.

A scout source map is task-scoped implementation evidence covered by normal code review; it does not require its own opposite-provider research review. If the scout would broaden scope or change accepted design, stop implementation and promote the finding into this workflow and its cross-provider gate. This skill may invoke the scout for adjacent implementations, but remains responsible for durable implications, authority changes, and review.

Trigger Examples

  • "Study this repo and tell us what it means for TinyAssets."
  • "Read this paper and build an implementation plan."
  • "Compare our architecture to this project."
  • "What should we learn from this?"
  • "Turn this research into steps toward integration."
  • "Anytime I point an agent at a project/research paper/repo."
  • "Find the most important frontier project for our direction."
  • "Scan for paradigm shifts and tell us what to align with early."

Core Stance

TinyAssets users are people with MCP-connected chatbots. They should be able to steer, redesign, fork, evolve, and improve branches through conversation. The project should become more community-evolvable and self-improving, not more dependent on maintainers or local research harnesses.

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.
