In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find and organize papers, create literature-review notes, group sources, upload them to NotebookLM, and generate research briefs.
Why use it?
It brings common research tasks into one workflow instead of making you move information between separate tools by hand.

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-hub 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 8d 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-hub

research-hub is an AI-operable research workspace. It can use Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM together, but it is also useful when the user only has two of them.

Default language policy: respond in the user's language, but generate durable research notes and metadata in English unless the user asks otherwise.

Choose The Workflow

User has Prefer this path
Zotero + Obsidian + NotebookLM Full research-hub auto "topic" workflow
Zotero + Obsidian Search/add/backfill papers, write Markdown notes, skip NotebookLM with --no-nlm
Obsidian + NotebookLM import-folder, dashboard, NotebookLM bundle/upload/generate
Zotero + NotebookLM Zotero-backed paper selection and NotebookLM operations
No accounts yet research-hub dashboard --sample

First Commands

research-hub dashboard --sample
research-hub setup
research-hub auto "topic" --no-nlm
research-hub serve --dashboard
research-hub doctor --autofix

For local files without Zotero:

research-hub setup --persona analyst
research-hub import-folder ./papers --cluster my-local-review
research-hub serve --dashboard

AI Host Integration

For MCP hosts, configure:

{ "mcpServers": { "research-hub": { "command": "research-hub", "args": ["serve"] } } }

Install host-specific skill files when useful:

research-hub install --platform claude-code
research-hub install --platform cursor
research-hub install --platform codex
research-hub install --platform gemini

For Hermes, OpenClaw, or other hosts with SKILL.md/rules support, copy the relevant skills/<name>/ directories manually or inline the skill text into the host's instructions. Use MCP/REST for tool calls when no installer target exists.

Operating Rules

  • Run research-hub doctor first when setup or runtime behavior is unclear.
  • Use --no-nlm for smoke tests or when NotebookLM browser automation is not configured.
  • Prefer import-folder for analysts, internal knowledge bases, local PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, TXT, and URL sources.
  • Prefer Zotero-backed commands for DOI/arXiv-heavy academic literature workflows.
  • Do not delete clusters without previewing cascade impact first.
  • Treat the vault as user-owned local data; avoid overwriting notes unless the user explicitly asks.

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.
