What it does
Research Question Knowledge Graph is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Build a research question knowledge graph from papers, theories, variables, methods, datasets, authors, venues, and projects. Use for Obsidian backlinks, Mermaid graph output, knowledge-map design, research gap detection, literature-tree building, and linking Zotero papers to research questions.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Hypothesis generation, Knowledge graphs and Citation management. It works with Zotero, Obsidian and Mermaid. 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
- Obsidian backlinks
- Mermaid graph output
- Knowledge-map design
- Research gap detection
Example prompts
- “/research-question-knowledge-graph”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define the focal research question.
- Import papers from Zotero or Obsidian cards.
- Extract nodes and typed edges.
- Build three graph layers
- Identify graph patterns
- Export
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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).
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 Question Knowledge Graph loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 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); files beside SKILL.md 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 181 words (~686 tokens).
“Use this skill to turn a literature set into a navigable knowledge graph centered on research questions.”
