  • Papersurveyteam needs to map a research direction into influential paper paths

What it does

Research Lineage Mapper is an agent skill from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. Use this skill when papersurveyteam needs to map a research direction into influential paper paths, lab/team/person trajectories, problem definitions, method lineages, benchmark evolution, unresolved problems, and future directions.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Build persistent multi-agent teams that collaborate like real organizations to deliver complex tasks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Papersurveyteam needs to map a research direction into influential paper paths
  • Lab/team/person trajectories
  • Problem definitions
  • Method lineages

Example prompts

  • “/research-lineage-mapper”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7e28736. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Research Lineage Mapper loads about 447 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 55 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~447

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use this skill when paper_survey_team needs to map a research direction into influential paper paths, lab/team/person trajectories, problem definitions, method lineages, benchmark evolution, unresolved problems, and future directions.

Research Lineage Mapper

This local skill turns paper collections into a research trajectory.

Core Questions

For any direction, answer:

text
What problem was originally defined?
Which papers changed the problem definition?
Which methods became dominant?
Which labs or teams repeatedly contributed?
Which benchmarks shaped progress?
Which assumptions remain fragile?
What is still unsolved?
Where is the direction likely to go?

Mapping Axes

Use at least four axes:

text
Time: early work -> transition -> current frontier
Problem: task definition -> objective -> evaluation
Method: algorithm/model/data/training/inference route
People: labs, PIs, students, companies, open-source communities

Report Artifacts

markdown
# Research Lineage Map

## Timeline
| Period | Key Question | Representative Papers | Main Shift |
|---|---|---|---|

## Problem-Method Matrix
| Problem Definition | Method Family | Representative Papers | Strength | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|

## Lab And People Map
| Lab/Team | Key People | Representative Contributions | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|

## Benchmark Evolution
| Benchmark/Data | What It Measures | What It Misses | Related Papers |
|---|---|---|---|

## Open Problems

## Future Directions

Hard Rules

  • Do not invent advisor/student relationships.
  • Mark inferred relationships as inference.
  • Do not overstate impact from a single paper.
  • Distinguish influential, representative, recent, and speculative papers.
