research-trends

research-trends is a skill for Claude Code from taishi-i/awesome-japanese-nlp-resources. It costs 40 tokens per session (3,382 once invoked), scanned B, original, CC0-1.0.

A research workflow for studying current trends in Japanese natural-language processing, the technology used to process Japanese text and speech. It combines an existing collection of Japanese NLP resources with recent web research.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps produce trend reports for topics such as language models, text embeddings, speech, word analysis, and translation, including a general overview when no topic is supplied.
Why use it?
It gives a report that includes both established resources and up-to-date information instead of relying on one source alone.

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 B, and why

research-trends scanned grade B 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 13d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Japanese NLP trends for topic: "$ARGUMENTS" by combining the bundled dataset with the latest web information.

Instructions

Preamble — Establish the current date

Before doing anything else, run this once and remember the values — every subsequent step that mentions a year, month, or report date refers to them:

echo "YEAR_NOW=$(date +%Y)"
echo "YEAR_PREV=$(($(date +%Y) - 1))"
echo "REPORT_DATE_EN=$(LC_TIME=C date '+%B %Y')"
echo "REPORT_DATE_JP=$(date '+%Y年%-m月')"

Substitute these values everywhere this skill writes ${YEAR_NOW}, ${YEAR_PREV}, ${REPORT_DATE_EN}, or ${REPORT_DATE_JP} below. Do not hardcode dates — the skill must always reflect the current month.

Step 0 — Handle empty input

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or blank, treat it as a request for a general overview of current Japanese NLP trends. Use the following defaults for the rest of the steps:

  • Topic label for output headings: "Japanese NLP Overall Trends" (use "日本語NLP 全体トレンド" only when the user's query was written in Japanese)
  • Keywords for Step 1 (local dataset survey): japanese nlp, llm, bert, embed, speech, morpholog, translat — These broad keywords give a cross-category snapshot of the most popular resources
  • WebSearch queries for Step 5: cover multiple active sub-fields rather than one topic:
    • japanese NLP trends ${YEAR_NOW} overview
    • 日本語 NLP 最新動向 ${YEAR_NOW}
    • japanese LLM embedding benchmark ${YEAR_NOW} github
    • 日本語 自然言語処理 注目 モデル ${YEAR_NOW}
    • huggingface japanese models trending ${YEAR_NOW}
  • Report title: ## 📊 Japanese NLP Trend Report (as of ${REPORT_DATE_EN}) instead of ## 📊 Trend Report for "$ARGUMENTS" (use ## 📊 日本語NLP 全体トレンドレポート (${REPORT_DATE_JP}時点) only when output language is Japanese)
  • Section 1 (Overview): write a broad 3–4 sentence overview covering the major active sub-fields (LLMs, embeddings/RAG, speech, morphological analysis, benchmarks)

Then continue normally from Step 1 using the above defaults.

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.
