research-architect-literature

research-architect-literature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mmTheBest/Research-Architect. It costs 44 tokens per session (990 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analyzing accessible research papers and positioning candidate questions against existing literature. It focuses on transferable research logic, gaps, evidence standards, and independent study options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze target papers, identify literature gaps, compare possible research questions, and create an adaptation plan.
Why use it?
It helps researchers learn how a paper’s approach works without treating the paper’s wording, assumptions, or conclusions as their own.

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-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 12d 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.

Changes

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.
