ara-compile

ara-compile is a skill for Claude Code from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 33 tokens per session (667 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for turning research notes, source files, and images into an Agent-Native Research Artifact (ARA), a structured package that links claims to evidence and reasoning. It then runs a review of the artifact’s logical and evidential quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile a research context directory into an ARA and produce a Level-2 review report.
Why use it?
It removes the need to assemble the research package manually in separate pieces. A single compilation keeps references and relationships consistent across the whole artifact.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is --output ../ara/ \.

Good fit Use it to compile a research context directory into an ARA and produce a Level-2 review report.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file 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 A, and why

ara-compile 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

SOP: ARA Compile

Key question: 怎么把投喂计划喂给外部 compiler,一次抽出一份内部一致的 ARA?

Preflight

先确认外部 compiler skill 可 load(ARA skills 已装:npx @ara-commons/ara-skills)。 若不可用,提示用户安装并停下,不要静默继续。

Why one inline call, not multi-subagent

ARA 的 cross-layer binding(claim→proof→evidence、tree→claim)必须全局一致。 分批 compile 会各自从 C01 起撞 ID、断 tree,汇总等于重缝半成品 —— 正是 ARA 要消灭 的事。compiler 自带覆盖度循环(max 3 轮)+ 内建 Task 工具;真需要并行由它内部 自理,本 SOP 不越俎拆分。

Procedure

  1. 把投喂计划整理成 compiler 的 $ARGUMENTS:

    • 主干文件清单 + trace 素材清单 + 图片清单的路径(compiler 按路径读);
    • 标注哪些是主干(报告线 → claims/problem);
    • 大方向作为约束文本(约束 PAPER.md 的 title/abstract);
    • --output ../ara/(与 context/ 平级,天然不会被下次 review 当 context 吃回去)。

    例:

    compiler context/2026-06-06-01-30-stage7-...md context/2026-06-05-...stage6...md \
      context/figures/*.png \
      --output ../ara/ \
      主干=stage7(报告线);其余为过程线/图片;大方向:<从 north-star-align 来的一段>
    
  2. 一次 inline 运行:Skill load compiler,传上面的 $ARGUMENTS。 compiler 跑 4 阶段(语义解构 → 认知映射 → src 层 → 探索图抽取)+ 覆盖度循环

    • Seal Level 1。
  3. Seal Level 1 不过:compiler 自带 fix-iterate(2–3 轮),本 SOP 不接管; 若仍不过,把失败报告透传给用户,停。

Output

<workspace>/ara/(logic/ src/ trace/ evidence/ PAPER.md),Level 1 已过。 交给 ara-rigor-review。

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.
