midmem-research-tracker

midmem-research-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from U4CSolutions/MidMem. It costs 160 tokens per session (1,529 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research-tracking skill that turns unevaluated weekly papers in a project's store into checked entries in RESEARCH.md. It compares each paper with source documents and the current code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess papers, record their important findings, link them to implementation decisions, and maintain a research ledger.
Why use it?
It keeps research decisions tied to evidence instead of relying only on summaries or losing the reason behind a roadmap choice.

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

midmem-research-tracker 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 today.

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.

MidMem Research Tracker — ingestion → grounded ledger → roadmap-ready decisions

RESEARCH.md is the record of why the store is built the way it is: each paper paired with the finding that matters and the decision it drove (or the reason it is parked). A weekly digest is an LLM synthesis; the ledger is only trustworthy when every entry is checked against the source document and the actual core code (DELEGATE-52 discipline — never grade the system from a summary).

Inputs

  • The store: research-shaped sources in state.db (type research, weekly report / digest paths, arXiv-id file names). The deterministic intake list is node scripts/research-sources.mjs (reads the ledger's evaluated-through marker; --json, --all, --include-gone, --mark <ISO>).
  • The ledger: RESEARCH.md (repo root). Marker line: <!-- research-tracker: evaluated-through=<ISO> -->.
  • Ground truth for "what exists": packages/core/src/ and the current docs/ROADMAP-*.md status marks (✅ shipped / open increment numbers).

Procedure

  1. Intake. node scripts/research-sources.mjs. For each unevaluated source read its grounding numbers first (summaryScore, quarantined counts come from the entry's own provenance). summaryScore ≲ 0.4 or heavy quarantine → re-ingest per midmem-ingest before evaluating; a ledger built on a drifted extraction poisons the roadmap.
  2. Extract, from the source document — not the store summary. For each paper the source covers, capture: title, arxiv_id, link (https://arxiv.org/abs/<id>; null if the source gives none — say so), finding (the empirical claim with its numbers), the source's own recommendation, and a relevance tag tied to ONE MidMem capability (retrieval · tiers/promotion · claims/contradictions · grounding · work-memory · concept graph · projection · bridge/ingest · bench/eval · governance/authority · project axis). Large reports → delegate extraction to a subagent that reads the file in full and returns JSON; never let it summarize from memory.
  3. Ground-check each recommendation against the code. Targeted greps beat reading: memFunction (typing) · supersede|contradict|defer (claims) · authority · communit|parent (graph) · sufficien|progressive (gating) · project (project axis) · reembed|fallback (serving) · bridgeSources|walkMarkdown (capture). Then place it against the roadmap: shipped (which ✅ increment), open (which #), or absent.
  4. Feasibility rubric (deterministic, one line per paper).
    • Fit — the subsystem it lands in (from step 2's tag).
    • Effort — S (one module + smoke) / M (module + surfaces + docs) / L (schema or lane change).
    • Discipline check — passes zero-deps, deterministic (no LLM in verifier/tagger/promotion paths), pure-core (no stack names), grounding-before-persist, maintain re-entrancy? Any "no" is a blocker to name.
    • Evidence — numbers from a benchmark / a controlled result / prose only.
    • VerdictADOPT NOW (serves an in-flight increment or the current build update and is S/M with a clean discipline check) · BACKLOG (real gap; gets or keeps a roadmap #) · VALIDATION (confirms a shipped design — cite it under that entry, it is roadmap evidence) · NOT ADOPTING (say why: contradicts a non-goal, filesystem-as-truth, LLM-judged promotion…).
  5. Write the ledger. Dated ## YYYY-MM-DD — <theme> sections, newest at top, one entry per ADOPT NOW / VALIDATION paper with Paper · Finding · Decision · Validation (validation = the smoke assertion, bench metric or deterministic check that proves the safeguard holds). BACKLOG papers go to the Backlog table (paper · finding · candidate · roadmap # · effort · blocker). NOT ADOPTING papers go to the Not adopting list with the reason. Every arXiv id links. Then advance the marker: node scripts/research-sources.mjs --mark <latest ingested_at evaluated>.
  6. Roadmap consistency. A BACKLOG row without a roadmap # gets a new row in the current docs/ROADMAP-*.md (same table format: increment · driver · principle served). An ADOPT NOW verdict does not open code — hand it to midmem-dev with the ledger entry as the spec.
  7. Record. Commit the ledger + roadmap delta (docs: research ledger <date> — N papers, A adopt / B backlog / V validation), push, and store one lesson per genuinely new rule via midmem-record. If a changelog exists, one line with counts and the marker.
