What it does

Yichen Web Research is an agent skill from mcncarl/yichen-skills. 逸尘自用的互联网研究总入口。用于跨平台且跨阶段、用户尚未确定工具,或明确要求对公司、产品、人物、技术、行业和领域做横纵分析、发展史加现状对比或有来源约束的系统深度研究;先生成有截止日期和证据闸门的计划,再把搜索发现、候选核验、有限归档、按需转写和证据综合路由到 yichen-unified-search、yichen-content-archive、yichen-bookmarks-export 与 yichen-asr。若用户只要求搜索、只处理已知链接、只导出私人收藏或只转写已有音视频,应直接使用对应子 Skill。Use when an internet-research request spans multiple stages, requires evidence-grounded longitudinal and cross-sectional synthesis, the correct child route is unclear, or the user explicitly invokes $yichen-web-research.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/backend-readiness.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Speech recognition and synthesis.

When your agent uses it

  • An internet-research request spans multiple stages
  • Requires evidence-grounded longitudinal and cross-sectional synthesis
  • The correct child route is unclear
  • The user explicitly invokes $yichen-web-research

Example prompts

  • “/yichen-web-research”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. 建立研究 brief,固定 subject、goal、object_type、subtype、as_of、start_date、geography、audience 和 languages。这些 key 必须出现;未知值保持…
  2. 联网前运行纯离线计划器
  3. 只有 coverage_dimensions.query_group_matrix.status=ready 时,才把计划中各 workstream 的 query_groups 交给 $yichen-unified-search。query_text…
  4. 搜索 envelope 只是候选交接包。只有打开原文并逐主张核对后才标为 verified;搜索摘要、AI 摘要、排名和 opened_original=true 均不能单独证明事实。
  5. 只有用户明确要求持久化原文或下载媒体,且范围已限定时,才通过 $yichen-content-archive 的独立安全门。搜索完成本身绝不转移归档授权。
  6. 写作前把 canonical plan、绑定同一 plan_id 与 workstream 的 envelopes、来源 annotations、原子 claims 和 retained gaps 组成 bundle,运行纯离线整理器
  7. 只有 scope_complete、逐 workstream 基础 claim、非空 timeline、非空 cross-sectional matrix、逐地区/语言 coverage、矛盾处理、横纵交汇和三情景等结构门全部满足时才写正式报告。任何…
  8. 普通缺口输出 blocking。只有真实的 coverage/claim gap 已执行至少两条结构化补搜,且每条 query_or_path 与 route 均彼此不同,并提供 impact、disclosure、bounded_conclusion,才可输出…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bd7898. 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 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Yichen Web Research loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 379 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 379 words (~1,914 tokens).

What does Yichen Web Research need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Yichen Web Research needs Python for the scripts in its folder, the command-line tools its instructions call (python3) and credentials named FIRECRAWL_API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.

Does Yichen Web Research 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.
