What it does
Research Log is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Maintain research logs and decision records for academic projects. Use for researchlog.md, experiment logs, modeling decisions, literature decisions, analysis decisions, daily work records, decision rationale, output file inventory, and reproducibility notes.
Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/append_research_log.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent 科研全流程教学包，能教学生从零部署 Codex、Claude Code、OpenClaw、Hermes 等 Agent，学会使用 Skills、飞书、AMiner、AI4Scholar、Zotero、Obsidian…
When your agent uses it
- Experiment logs
- Modeling decisions
- Literature decisions
- Analysis decisions
Example prompts
- “/research-log”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the session date, task, inputs, outputs, and tools used.
- Record decisions and why they were made.
- Record generated files and their purposes.
- Separate confirmed conclusions from items needing verification.
- Update next actions and blockers.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab1133. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
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 Log loads about 299 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 107 words (~299 tokens).
“Use this skill after meaningful project work to preserve continuity.”

When should I use Research Log?
Research Log fits situations like: experiment logs; modeling decisions; literature decisions; analysis decisions.
How do I install Research Log in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit --skill research-log -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (本地Skills功能分类库/16_科研项目管理与版本控制Skills/research-log in Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit) into .claude/skills/research-log in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Research Log in Codex?

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Research Log in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit --skill research-log -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/research-log, .gemini/skills/research-log, .github/skills/research-log and .opencode/skills/research-log in your project.
What does Research Log need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Research Log needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Research Log access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Research Log safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Research Log use?
