What it does
Nanoresearch Ideation is an agent skill from OpenRaiser/NanoResearch. Search academic literature and generate research hypotheses
Its SKILL.md is about 260 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 Brainstorming and Academic paper search. It works with arXiv and Semantic Scholar. The repository describes itself as: 🦞+🔬 NanoResearch: The Autonomous AI Research Assistant. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Brainstorming
- Tasks that involve Academic paper search
Example prompts
- “/nanoresearch-ideation”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Generate 5-8 diverse search queries from the topic
- Search arXiv and Semantic Scholar using each query
- Deduplicate and rank papers by relevance
- Analyze the collected papers to identify research gaps
- Generate 2-4 novel hypotheses that address the identified gaps
- Select the most promising hypothesis with justification
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 584fd06. 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.
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
Nanoresearch Ideation loads about 256 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 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.
