branch

branch is a skill for Claude Code from SuperJJ007/eatbook. It costs 106 tokens per session (932 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A literature-research workflow for exploring one research direction through foundational papers, major milestones, and recent work by leading researchers. Snowballing means finding more papers by following references and later papers that cite them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Selecting a research branch, finding seed papers, tracing important earlier and later work, producing a reading list, and recording progress in a subject knowledge base.
Why use it?
It turns a broad topic into a reasoned reading order instead of an unstructured list of papers.

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

branch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

/eatbook:branch — 分支深研

方法论:snowballing 滚雪球(详见 references/lit-search.md)。 目标产物:有理由、有顺序、可执行的三层文献清单——不是论文堆砌。

步骤 1:选分支

  • 参数给了分支名则直接用;否则读 overview.md 列出候选分支,问用户
  • 和用户确认深研目标:通识了解 / 跟进前沿 / 找研究切入点(影响清单层次配比)
  • branches/<分支slug>/

步骤 2:定种子(seed papers)

两路并行,得到 2-4 篇种子:

  1. 教材引文:grep 该分支相关章节笔记和 source/full.md 的引文——教科书反复引用的论文天然是经典候选
  2. 近年综述:WebSearch 找 3-5 年内权威 review(Annual Review 系列 / Nature Reviews 优先),综述的参考文献就是现成的领域地图

步骤 3:三层滚雪球

按 lit-search.md 的流程:

  1. Backward(经典奠基):沿种子的参考文献向上游走,找被反复引用的奠基工作
  2. Forward(里程碑):用 Semantic Scholar API 查"谁引用了经典",按引用数+影响力筛出范式转移点
  3. 前沿(领军学者代表作):从里程碑作者中找近 3 年仍活跃的高影响力学者,取其代表作

每层 3-6 篇为宜;宁缺毋滥,每篇必须能写出"为什么读"。

步骤 4:产出 reading-list.md

# {分支名} 文献指南

## 深研目标
(用户确认的目标 + 本清单如何服务它)

## 第一层:经典奠基(读懂领域从哪来)
### {作者年份}《标题》
- 为什么读:……
- 读什么:(重点章节/核心结论,不必通读的说明白)
- 图谱连接:关联实体 {entity-id},读完可新增 {关系}
- 引用规模:约 N 次(Semantic Scholar,查询日期)

## 第二层:里程碑(领域怎么变成今天这样)
(同上结构,按时间排)

## 第三层:前沿(领域正往哪去)
### {学者} —— {机构}
- 地位依据:……(高被引/获奖/里程碑作者)
- 代表作:《…》(年份)+ 为什么是它

## 建议阅读顺序
(考虑依赖关系的串行顺序 + 理由)

步骤 5:交付与回流

  • 汇报三层清单概要 + 阅读顺序
  • 提醒闭环:想精读的论文 → /eatbook:ingest <PDF> <领域>(论文可跳过翻译)→ /eatbook:read
  • 更新 00-domain.md:记录该分支已建立文献清单

防幻觉提醒

文献信息(标题/作者/年份/结论)全部以检索结果为准,禁止凭模型记忆给出; 引用数注明查询日期;查不到的信息写"未确认",不要编。

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.

branch is a skill published in the GitHub repository SuperJJ007/eatbook (4 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 106 tokens to every session and 932 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
