BITE: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/papers-build-index/SKILL.md

papers-build-index is a skill for Claude Code from RipeMangoBox/BITE. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,010 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for rebuilding a local Obsidian note index from a paper inventory and available analysis notes. Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores information as files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh a paper index, generate an all-papers page, and group papers by topic, method, dataset, or venue and year.
Why use it?
It keeps paper navigation pages and index files up to date after research notes change, without needing a separate database.

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

papers-build-index 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/build_paper_index.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Build Index

What this skill does

Regenerates the local paper index under obsidian-vault/index/.

Inputs:

  1. obsidian-vault/paper_list.csv when present. This is the paper inventory.
  2. obsidian-vault/analysis/**/*.md frontmatter when present. This is evidence and enrichment, not a required database.

Outputs:

  • obsidian-vault/index/index.jsonl
  • obsidian-vault/index/paper_index.md
  • obsidian-vault/index/_AllPapers.md
  • aggregate pages under:
    • by_dataset/
    • by_method/
    • by_topic/
    • by_venue_year/

The builder does not require the platform database. obsidian-vault/index/README.md is a public placeholder for the generated directory and should not be overwritten with local/private index contents. Aggregate navigation entry files use explicit dimension names: by_topic/topic_index.md, by_method/method_index.md, by_dataset/dataset_index.md, and by_venue_year/venue_year_index.md. Venue and year navigation is merged into venue_year labels such as ICLR_2026; the builder does not generate separate by_venue/ or by_year/ indexes. by_topic/ uses coarse top-level research areas derived from category, topics, topic/... tags, or path hints. Nested topic tags are intentionally folded into their first segment so the navigation does not fragment. topic/<venue_year> tags in analysis frontmatter are treated as venue/year metadata, not research-topic taxonomy. by_method/ uses normalized method-family labels derived from method names, tags, title, core_operator, and primary_logic. Exact per-paper method names remain in index.jsonl under methods for precise search and comparison. by_dataset/ lists only dataset values that appear in at least two papers so single-paper experiment slices do not dominate Obsidian navigation. The full per-paper dataset field remains in index.jsonl. Dataset display values are normalized to dataset names; parenthesized model, split, seed, resolution, and other experiment-setting details are stripped. Generated paper entries are nested Obsidian list items, not one-line entries joined with punctuation separators. Each entry places the analysis note link on the parent bullet and PDF/topics/method groups/methods/datasets on child bullets.

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.
