A workflow for turning public links and approved notes into short research briefs with sources, dates, visibility labels, and review status.

In plain words
What is it for?

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

research-brief-curator 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/build_brief_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.

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.

Research Brief Curator

Overview

Use this skill to turn public links and approved notes into a short, reviewable research brief. Keep the source trail visible, label each item by visibility, and require human approval before anything is posted, sent, archived publicly, or reused as client-facing material.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the brief scope: topic, audience, time window, output format, and whether the brief is internal-only, public-ready, client-facing, or draft research.
  2. Read references/public-source-boundaries.md before using user-provided links, notes, exports, screenshots, or copied text.
  3. Normalize every item into a simple record: title, source, URL or citation, date, topic, visibility, status, summary, why it matters, and recommended next action.
  4. Read references/brief-template.md before drafting the final daily or weekly brief.
  5. Separate records into:
    • public_ready: safe to summarize with source link after review.
    • needs_review: claims, wording, or source quality need checking.
    • private_research: useful internally but not suitable for public reuse.
    • archive: duplicate, stale, or background material.
  6. Draft the brief with source-aware language and short decision notes. Do not copy long excerpts from sources.
  7. End with a safety verdict: BLOCK, REVIEW, or READY, plus the remaining manual checks.

Optional Script

Use scripts/build_brief_skeleton.py when the user provides structured JSON records or wants a repeatable Markdown skeleton.

python scripts/build_brief_skeleton.py items.json --title "Weekly AI Research Brief" --date 2026-05-28 --output brief.md

The script does not fetch URLs or publish anything. It only formats provided records and flags suspicious local paths or credential-like terms for review.

Safety Rules

  • Use public links, user-approved notes, and fake examples only.
  • Do not expose API keys, tokens, cookies, browser profiles, raw prompts, private source lists, logs, account data, dashboards, exports, local paths, client names, or private implementation details.
  • Do not summarize paywalled, private, login-only, confidential, or internal-only material for public output unless the user explicitly confirms it is approved.
  • Do not present uncertain claims as facts. Mark them needs_review and ask for source verification.
  • Do not auto-post, auto-send, create public tickets, update a CMS, or push changes. Return a brief and review checklist.
  • Keep quotes short and attribute them. Prefer paraphrase and links over copied text.

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.
