research-ingestion

research-ingestion is a skill for Claude Code from minihellboy/factorminer. It costs 121 tokens per session (802 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns research reports and papers into structured ideas for generating market factors. It keeps ideas that can be represented using daily open, high, low, close, and volume data, known as OHLCV.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to screen research fragments, group them by the type of market mechanism they describe, and produce reusable clues for factor generation.
Why use it?
It prevents unsupported research claims—such as information requiring company fundamentals or order-book data—from entering an OHLCV-based factor workflow.

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-ingestion 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.

Research Ingestion

This skill runs FactorMiner's Report-to-Memory Absorption (RMA) service — a scoped-down implementation of the RMA layer from XAlpha (arXiv:2607.08332): it screens external research fragments for OHLCV-representability, classifies the survivors into a broad mechanism family, and extracts reusable research-path hypothesis cues. It does not mine, generate, or backtest factors; it turns raw research text into structured input for factor-mining's generation prompts.

Why absorption instead of raw text

Feeding report text directly into a generation prompt lets ungrounded or OHLCV-infeasible claims (analyst EPS revisions, order-book microstructure, fundamentals) leak into hypothesis generation. RMA gates every fragment first, so only price/volume-representable mechanisms reach the mining loop.

The A/B/C pipeline

Layer Question Output
A (eligibility) Can this mechanism be observed, inferred, or proxied from daily OHLCV bars alone? KEEP/DROP + reason
B (mechanism family) Which broad mechanism bucket does it belong to? One of factorminer.architecture.families.MECHANISM_FAMILIES
C (archetype) What's the reusable research cue? A ResearchArchetype record with research_paths

DROPped fragments (fundamentals, analyst estimates, order-book state, news/sentiment, macro releases) are discarded — they are not representable under the daily OHLCV factor contract.

Workflow

1. Ingest a research note

factorminer ingest-research path/to/report_fragment.txt

Add --mock to run offline with the deterministic mock LLM provider (no API calls) — useful for smoke tests, never as a research result.

2. Read the classification

The command prints the KEEP/DROP verdict and reason. For a KEPT fragment it also prints the assigned mechanism family, fine-grained family, mechanism role, and research-path cues.

3. Hand off to mining

The resulting ResearchArchetype records are meant to be threaded into PromptContextBuilder.build(..., research_archetypes=[...]) so factor-mining's generation prompts carry the research-path text alongside memory and family context. Absorption itself never calls the mining loop — invoke factor-mining separately once you have archetypes worth exploring.

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-ingestion is a skill published in the GitHub repository minihellboy/factorminer (107 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 802 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
