What it does

Research Lib is an agent skill from DeL-TaiseiOzaki/claude-code-orchestra. Research a library and create comprehensive documentation in .claude/docs/libraries/.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/research-lib”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the Document Path
  2. Resolve the Version This Project Uses

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef0d8f8. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Lib loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 527 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Research Library

Research $ARGUMENTS and create documentation in .claude/docs/libraries/.

Scope: this skill produces documentation only. It never edits source code and never edits a dependency manifest or lockfile — if the research implies a version bump, report it as an action item instead of making it.

1. Resolve the Document Path

Derive the path once, from the script, and reuse the value everywhere below. $ARGUMENTS is raw user wording (FastAPI, ruamel.yaml, @scope/pkg); the script normalizes it the same way lib_inventory.py normalizes a declared dependency, so the doc filename and the dependency name always match.

bash
python3 .claude/skills/_shared/workspace.py --skill research-lib \
  --title "$ARGUMENTS" --create

Emits {ok, skill, slug, paths: {lib_doc}, dirs, created, artifacts, verify}. Exit 0 on success, 1 on a bad argument. Use paths.lib_doc verbatim from here on — never re-derive it by hand, and never substitute $ARGUMENTS.md.

2. Resolve the Version This Project Uses

The declared and locked versions are facts with one correct answer, so read them instead of asking the web:

bash
python3 .claude/skills/update-lib-docs/lib_inventory.py --library "$ARGUMENTS"

The dependencies array carries {name, declared_spec, declared_in, locked_version, locked_in, ecosystem}. > **Version Checked**: records locked_version when a lockfile pins one, otherwise the version satisfying declared_spec. If dependencies is empty the library is not (yet) a dependency of this project — record the version you are documenting against and say so in ## Constraints & Notes.

Exit codes: 0 ok, 1 bad argument, 2 a manifest could not be parsed (manifest_errors), 3 a library doc could not be read (read_error). On a non-zero exit, stop and report — do not fill the version in from a web search.

Newer upstream releases are research findings, not the project's version: note them under ## Constraints & Notes as an upgrade consideration. The blockquote is the only place a version number lives.

Research Items

Primary Tool: General-Purpose Subagent (Opus)

Use general-purpose-opus with WebSearch/WebFetch for comprehensive library research. Pass the resolved path and version into the prompt:

Agent tool:
  subagent_type: "general-purpose-opus"
  prompt: |
    Research: {library}. Find official documentation, key features,
    constraints, best practices, known issues, and usage patterns.
    Use WebSearch and WebFetch to gather information.
    The version this project uses is {locked_version or declared_spec};
    document against that version, and note newer releases separately.
    Save results to {paths.lib_doc} using the template in
    .claude/skills/research-lib/SKILL.md.
    List every URL you consulted under ## References.
    Return concise summary.
Show full SKILL.md (229 more words)Show less
Fallback: WebSearch/WebFetch

If the subagent is unavailable, verify via manual web search:

  • Official documentation
  • GitHub README
  • PyPI / npm page
  • Latest release notes

Record every source you used in ## References; a research note whose sources are only in the conversation cannot be audited later.

References


The `> **Last Updated**` / `> **Version Checked**` blockquote is mandatory, not
decoration: `lib_inventory.py` parses exactly those two lines, and a doc without
them is invisible to `update-lib-docs` — never stale, never undocumented, never
maintained.

## Validate the Document

Both checks are gates. Do not report completion until both exit 0.

```bash
python3 .claude/skills/_shared/validate_doc.py --contract lib-doc \
  --file <paths.lib_doc>
python3 .claude/skills/_shared/workspace.py --skill research-lib \
  --slug <slug> --verify

validate_doc.py exit codes:

  • 1 — the file does not exist or could not be read. The delegated subagent did not write it (or wrote it elsewhere); the payload has no sections_missing. Re-delegate with paths.lib_doc; do not hand-edit a different path.
  • 2 — the file exists but violates the contract. sections_missing lists absent ## sections (Overview, Core Features, Constraints & Notes, References) and metadata_missing lists absent metadata lines (Last Updated, Version Checked). Fill those in and re-run.

workspace.py --verify exit 2 with verify.empty containing lib_doc means the file exists but is a stub (under 20 non-whitespace characters) — a summary was returned without real content.
