scholaraio: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/research-gap/SKILL.md

research-gap is a skill for Claude Code from ZimoLiao/scholaraio. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,291 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for finding research gaps, meaning unanswered questions or poorly studied areas, across papers in a workspace. It examines topics, dates, methods, citations, and the future-work sections authors describe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scan a literature workspace, map its themes and time trends, compare methods, inspect shared and missing references, and collect open questions or future directions from the papers.
Why use it?
It replaces a paper-by-paper impression with a broader view of what the collection covers and misses. It can reveal neglected topics, untested combinations of methods, conflicting findings, and claims that lack follow-up work.

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-gap 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.

研究空白识别

从工作区文献中系统性地发现研究空白和开放问题。

前提

用户必须指定一个 workspace(--ws NAME),且工作区中应有足够数量的论文(建议 10+ 篇)。 报告语言由用户指定(中文 / English)。

执行逻辑

1. 全局扫描

scholaraio ws show <name>                    # 论文列表
scholaraio topics                             # 主题聚类(如已建模)

对工作区论文做 L2 扫描(标题 + 摘要),建立领域地图。show 命令会自动展示已有的 notes.md 历史笔记,优先复用已有发现。

2. 多维度分析

维度 1:主题覆盖度
scholaraio topics                             # 全库主题分布
scholaraio topics --topic <ID>                # 各主题下的论文

工作区论文是否集中在某几个主题?哪些相关主题缺乏覆盖?

维度 2:时间趋势

按年份统计工作区论文分布,识别:

  • 哪些方向在近几年论文激增(热点)
  • 哪些方向论文渐少(可能已成熟或被放弃)
  • 哪些方向有早期工作但近年无跟进(潜在空白)

直接用 Python 读取 configured papers library 下的 */meta.json 做统计分析。

维度 3:方法论对比

扫描工作区论文的方法部分(L3-L4),绘制方法论矩阵:

scholaraio show <paper-id> --layer 3          # 结论中通常提及方法
  • 哪些方法被广泛使用?
  • 哪些方法组合尚未被尝试?
  • 某方法在 A 问题上成功,是否可迁移到 B 问题?
维度 4:引用图谱空洞
scholaraio shared-refs "<id1>" "<id2>"        # 共同引用
scholaraio refs "<id>"                        # 参考文献
scholaraio citing "<id>"                      # 被引论文
  • 哪些论文互相引用但观点矛盾?(未解决的争议)
  • 哪些论文被大量引用但缺乏后续验证/复现?
  • 哪些关键参考文献不在工作区中?(可能是盲区)
维度 5:论文自述的 Future Work

加载工作区中高引论文的 L3(结论),提取作者自己提出的未来方向:

scholaraio show <paper-id> --layer 3

这些 future work 是否已有人做了?交叉搜索验证:

scholaraio usearch "<future work 关键词>"

3. 输出报告

生成结构化的研究空白报告,保存到 workspace/<name>/research-gaps.md。

对每个发现的空白,按类型分类:

空白类型 含义 示例
知识空白 某个现象/问题尚无人研究 "高 Re 下的 X 效应尚未被测量"
方法空白 已有结论但方法存在缺陷或局限 "现有研究均为 RANS,缺乏 DNS 验证"
矛盾空白 不同研究给出矛盾结论 "A 组报告正效应,B 组报告负效应"
迁移空白 某方法/发现尚未被推广到相关领域 "该方法在 2D 有效,3D 尚未尝试"
规模空白 只有小规模/受限条件的结果 "仅低 Re 数据,工程 Re 下未验证"

报告结构:

  1. 领域现状概述(2-3 段)
  2. 已识别的研究空白(按优先级排序)
    • 空白类型 + 描述
    • 支撑证据(哪些论文暗示了这个空白)
    • 潜在研究问题
    • 可行性评估(数据/方法/资源是否可及)
  3. 未解决的争议(如有)
  4. 建议的下一步

量化辅助:必要时编写 Python 代码从 meta.json 批量提取数据,做统计图表(年份分布、方法频次、参数范围覆盖等),用可视化支撑空白发现。

分析笔记持久化:对深度分析过的论文,必须通过 CLI 将关键发现写入笔记:

scholaraio show "<paper-id>" --append-notes "## YYYY-MM-DD | <workspace> | research-gap
- 关键发现"

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.
