BITE: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/research-brainstorm-from-kb/SKILL.md

research-brainstorm-from-kb is a skill for Claude Code from RipeMangoBox/BITE. It costs 99 tokens per session (2,533 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-idea assistant that uses a local Obsidian knowledge base, a folder of linked Markdown notes, to explore and organize possible research directions. It focuses on papers and existing analysis stored in that vault.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down research questions, examine related work, identify opportunities, and write idea notes under the vault's ideas folder.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad or fragmented research question into structured candidate ideas grounded in the user's saved research. It also preserves the results as reusable notes.

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-brainstorm-from-kb 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 10d 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 Idea Brainstorming

1. Use cases (When to use)

Use this skill in the following scenarios:

  • Research question / idea input: the user describes a research question, direction, or fragmented ideas in natural language and wants systematic brainstorming plus lightweight synthesis.
  • Need local knowledge-base grounding: rely primarily on retrieval from obsidian-vault/analysis, and use generated obsidian-vault/index indexes/navigation pages when they help produce "related-work support + research opportunity".
  • Need reusable idea notes: automatically write outputs as structured Markdown under local obsidian-vault/ideas/ for later writing, experiments, and project management.

2. Dependencies and paths (Dependencies & paths)

This skill depends on the local paper knowledge base and the papers-query-knowledge-base skill:

  • Paper index and analysis: see papers-query-knowledge-base skill (obsidian-vault/index/ + obsidian-vault/analysis/)
  • Primary paper retrieval and analysis: see papers-query-knowledge-base skill (obsidian-vault/analysis/ for evidence, generated obsidian-vault/index/ for fast filtering/navigation when useful)
  • Idea note directory: obsidian-vault/ideas/

Path convention:

  • If the current workspace is the repository containing these folders, prefer relative paths.
  • If the workspace does not include this KB, use the correct absolute path on your machine.

3. File naming and storage rules

When generating brainstorming results, always write/update Markdown files in obsidian-vault/ideas/ using this naming rule:

  • Filename pattern: YYYY-MM-DD_<core-slug>.md
    • YYYY-MM-DD: user local date (for example 2025-03-09)
    • <core-slug>: topic phrase compressed into English words or pinyin, lowercase with - separators (for example motion-llm-ideas, reactive-agent-motion)
  • Example: 2025-03-09_motion-llm-ideas.md

Behavior convention:

  • If a file with the same date and core slug already exists, append a new brainstorming subsection instead of creating a new file.
  • If the user explicitly specifies a target file in obsidian-vault/ideas, follow the user-specified filename.

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.
