Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.00990 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00396 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00198 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00099 |
Grade A, and why
research-architect-literature 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Architect Literature and Exemplar Analysis
Use two passes when target references exist; otherwise use the positioning pass after brainstorming. Explain how a paper works without reproducing its source-specific content.
Shared resources and canonical outputs
Read ../research-architect/references/literature-map-framework.md. Use these installed-suite templates only as column or structure contracts:
../research-architect/templates/exemplar_logic_profile.md
../research-architect/templates/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md
../research-architect/templates/corpus_inventory.csv
../research-architect/templates/gap_map.csv
../research-architect/templates/motivation_options_after_literature.md
Write tabular outputs as Markdown in paper_output/, including gap_map.md for the literature gap artifact.
For a final adaptation plan, create
paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md.metadata.json following
../research-architect/schemas/v1/exemplar_adaptation_plan.schema.json.
Pass 1 — Target-reference analysis
Read:
paper_output/project_config.json
paper_output/source_inventory.md
paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present
accessible target-reference full text
Create:
paper_output/exemplar_logic_profile.md
paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md # preliminary
Extract the research object/tension, theory, question move, contribution, selection, evidence, analysis, comparison or warrant, validity, display/rhetorical sequence, limitations, context-bound assumptions, transferable strengths, and copying boundaries. Explain why each load-bearing move works.
Unreadable-reference rule
Do not profile a target paper from memory, a title, or an abstract alone. If full text cannot be read, stop this pass, report the inaccessible source, and request the file. With explicit user consent, provide only metadata-level orientation marked provisional: full text not accessed; it cannot satisfy adaptation approval.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-architect-literature is a skill published in the GitHub repository mmTheBest/Research-Architect (69 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 990 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

running-cluster-experiments
Use when planning, budgeting, submitting or resuming a multi-job experiment campaign on a Slurm/HPC cluster — sizing walltime, shaping jobs and arrays, deciding what to submit first, or after a job hit its walltime, produced no results, silently ran the wrong configuration, or got the wrong number of GPUs.
explaining-derivations
Use when a proof or derivation needs to be made explicit step by step — expanding a paper's algebra for a reader without formal mathematical training, producing a worked companion document, or establishing whether a derivation can be justified at all. Triggers on "explain this derivation", "walk me through this…
self-surveying-literature
Audit a research paper draft (LaTeX sources + .bib) for related work it should cite but does not, above all close prior work that undermines its novelty claims. Searches Semantic Scholar, arXiv, DBLP and Crossref, follows citation graphs, verifies every hit, and produces a prioritized, evidence-backed report plus…
paper-writer
Medical/scientific paper writing workflow skill. Manages the full pipeline from literature search to submission-ready manuscript. Creates and manages a project directory with IMRAD-format section files, literature matrix, reference management, and quality checklists. Supports both English and Japanese papers.…
proofreading-paper-writing
Use when asked to proofread, polish, or critique the writing of an academic paper from its LaTeX sources — grammar and mechanics, sentence clarity and style, paragraph flow, terminology and framing — and deliver the proposals as coloured track changes with margin comments plus a numbered writing report. Triggers on…
verifying-proofs
Use when checking the mathematics of a paper rather than its claims — verifying a theorem's proof, an algebraic derivation, a bound, or an appendix full of lemmas. Triggers on "check this proof", "verify the derivation", "is Lemma 3 correct", "does the algebra work", a paper directory containing theorem/proof…
