research-architect-audit

research-architect-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mmTheBest/Research-Architect. It costs 51 tokens per session (855 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An audit skill for Research Architect drafts, a structured process for designing research papers. It checks the available files, evidence, references, claims, study design, citations, and draft against quality requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a full or partial research project, create a revision queue, record missing inputs, and produce a final artifact and pipeline status record.
Why use it?
It reveals missing source material, weak evidence trails, unclear claims, copying risks, and unresolved decisions instead of treating incomplete work as approved.

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-architect-audit 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 1mo 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 Architect Audit

Audit the available artifact trail and route each problem to the artifact that owns the decision. Do not turn missing evidence or provenance into a pass.

Inputs and shared resources

Read all available artifacts under paper_output/, especially the project configuration, terminology/object ledger, exemplar profile/adaptation, selected or confirmed spine, study design, evidence bank, claim register, display-system plan, evidence-display map, citation bank, promise-resolution map, blueprint, rationale matrix, and draft.

Read ../research-architect/references/quality-gates.md. Use ../research-architect/templates/audit_report.md as the output structure.

Create:

paper_output/audit_report.md
paper_output/revision_queue.md
paper_output/final_artifact_manifest.md
paper_output/run_manifest.json
paper_output/pipeline_state.json

Revised-draft and standalone path

Accept an external draft or a partial paper_output/ directory. If intake has not happened, collect the draft location, project scope, and constraints first. Record each missing upstream artifact as an intake_debts.md entry with its affected claim/gate, severity, and next owner. Audit the material that exists; label debts BLOCKED or scoped limitations instead of inventing a clean trail.

Use the audit to review a draft gate by gate: target-reference logic, adaptation, spine, feasibility, literature grounding, design, evidence, displays, citations, independence, completeness, and inference boundaries. Within the existing gates, also check that terminology/Object IDs are stable, the manuscript-wide display sequence assigns one non-overlapping job per display before panel detail, and every material promise resolves to evidence/warrant and bounded closure. Route framing failures to literature/brainstorm, design failures to design, evidence/display-readiness failures to evidence, citation failures to citation, and prose-only or promise-structure issues to draft.

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.
