ccf-literature-monitor

ccf-literature-monitor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mikubaka88/CCFA-Skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-monitoring skill that watches arXiv, OpenReview, conference feeds, research labs, projects, and named competitors for new papers. arXiv is a public website where researchers share papers before formal publication, while OpenReview is a platform used for reviewing and discussing research papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track papers, check whether an idea overlaps with recent work, spot research trends, and monitor specific groups, authors, datasets, or competitors.
Why use it?
It helps you notice new work related to an idea without repeatedly checking many research sources yourself.

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

ccf-literature-monitor 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 6d 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.

CCF Literature Monitor

Core Rule

Monitor arXiv, OpenReview, conference/proceedings feeds, project pages, labs, and named competitors for new papers that could overlap with the user's idea or paper. Report findings factually. Do not exaggerate novelty threats, dismiss real overlap, or infer priority from weak evidence. Provide actionable signals: RELAX, RESEARCH, FOLLOW-UP.

Modes

  • arxiv-watch: scan recent papers in target categories or keyword clusters.
  • venue-watch: scan OpenReview, proceedings, accepted-paper lists, or official venue pages.
  • novelty-check: compare a given idea with recent papers and flag overlap.
  • trend-scouting: summarize emerging directions, crowded areas, and under-tested gaps.
  • competitor-tracking: monitor named research groups, labs, repositories, datasets, benchmarks, or authors.
  • paper-alert-digest: produce a recurring watch report suitable for saving into a project folder.

Skill Linkage

  • @READS ccfa.yaml for idea state.
  • @SHARES findings with ccf-literature-searcher.
  • @SHARES novelty implications with ccf-idea-reviewer.
  • @SHARES rescue or differentiation opportunities with ccf-idea-optimizer.
  • @SHARES citation and positioning candidates with ccf-paper-writer.
  • @FLAGS conflicting papers for ccf-integrity-auditor.

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode and ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md.

Load ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md before deciding exploratory, quick, or standard mode.

Treat unpublished ideas, draft abstracts, methods, and results as private material. Load ../ccf-common/references/privacy-and-evidence.md before using private text in queries. Use public-safe keywords, public method names, venue names, and user-approved query text.

Load ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md when monitor results feed idea scoring, paper review, or score-risk language.

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.
