emem-research-grade-citation

emem-research-grade-citation is a skill for Claude Code from Vortx-AI/emem. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,911 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research-citation tool that adds context to signed data facts, including what was measured, its units, date, source, and calculation method. It explains the quantity a fact represents rather than treating a signed number as self-explanatory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare facts for papers, reports, or review by recording the measured quantity, spatial basis, source, units, observation date, and derivation details.
Why use it?
A signature proves which bytes were served, but not what a number means or whether it answers the research question. This helps reviewers understand the measurement and reproduce its source and derivation.

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

emem-research-grade-citation 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 28d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

emem-research-grade-citation

Network use. The commands in this skill send and receive JSON (and, where a step says so, an image or a raster file) to https://emem.dev only, the service the plugin's MCP server connects to. Nothing they download is executed. The files under scripts/ read local files and make no network calls.

A signed fact proves who served which bytes. It does not by itself say what quantity those bytes estimate. A citation a reviewer can use needs both: the token that pins the bytes, and a sentence that names the estimand. This skill fills in the second from the fields emem does return, and says where the fields stop.

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.
