scientific-writing: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/next/SKILL.md

next is a skill for Claude Code from koljaschoepe/scientific-writing. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,515 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that identifies and starts the next stage of a scientific-writing project. It checks the project status and required files before continuing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to move between brainstorming, outlining, assigning citations, planning chapters, writing, quality review, and later project stages.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which phase comes next or whether earlier work is complete, while warning about basic configuration problems.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is koljaschoepe/scientific-writing's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on scientific-writing 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 scientific-writing configures →

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

next 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 10d 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.

Nächste Phase

Bestimme automatisch den nächsten sinnvollen Arbeitsschritt und führe ihn aus.

Ablauf

1. Status ermitteln

Lies:

  • output/progress.json -- Aktuelle Phase
  • config.yaml -- Projektkonfiguration
  • output/phase-02-outline/final/thesis-structure.yaml (falls vorhanden) -- Kapitel-Liste

2. Kurzvalidierung

Bevor der nächste Schritt gestartet wird, prüfe:

  • config.yaml existiert und projekt.typ hat einen gültigen Wert
  • Falls formatierung.zitationsstil gesetzt: Prüfe ob die Datei base/guides/citation-systems/{zitationsstil}.md existiert
  • Falls Fehler: Melde sie und empfehle /validate für die vollständige Prüfung

3. Phasen-Logik

Bestimme den nächsten Schritt anhand der aktuellen Phase:

Phase 0 -> 1 (Setup -> Brainstorming)

Vorbedingung: config.yaml existiert und ist konfiguriert Aktion: Starte den Agent .claude/agents/brainstorming.md Erklärung: "Jetzt starten wir mit dem Brainstorming. Ich stelle dir Fragen zu deinen Interessen und wir entwickeln gemeinsam ein Thema."

Phase 1 -> 2 (Brainstorming -> Gliederung)

Vorbedingung: Datei in output/phase-01-brainstorming/final/ vorhanden Aktion: Starte den Agent .claude/agents/outliner.md Erklärung: "Dein Thema steht. Jetzt erstellen wir die Kapitelstruktur -- den Bauplan für deine gesamte Arbeit."

Phase 2 -> 3 (Gliederung -> Zitat-Zuordnung)

Prüfe zuerst config.yaml -> quellen.workflow:

Falls quellen.workflow: "keine":

  • Phase 3 ÜBERSPRINGEN
  • Erstelle automatisch eine minimale Zuordnungsdatei (der citation-mapper Agent macht das)
  • Verschiebe sie direkt nach output/phase-03-citations/final/
  • Aktualisiere progress.json: Phase 3 als abgeschlossen markieren
  • Melde: "Phase 3 (Zitat-Zuordnung) wird übersprungen -- du arbeitest ohne Quellen. Weiter mit Phase 4 (Kapitel-Planung)."
  • Springe direkt zu Phase 3 -> 4

Falls quellen.workflow einen anderen Wert hat: Vorbedingung: Datei in output/phase-02-outline/final/ vorhanden UND mindestens Mindestquellen in sources/literature.md

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.
