At a glance

Operate the docs/research compiled layer in either full or maintain mode.

  • Works in 3 steps: docs/research/README.md → docs/research/index.md → docs/research/log.md
  • Research-lane creation
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Core Rules, Read First and Mode Selection, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Research Wiki is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Operate the docs/research compiled layer in either full or maintain mode. Use for research-lane creation, research upkeep, authority-sensitive corpus work, source summaries, concepts, systems, decisions, and open-question pages.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

When your agent uses it

  • Research-lane creation
  • Research upkeep
  • Authority-sensitive corpus work
  • Source summaries

Example prompts

  • “/research-wiki”

Workflow steps

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

  1. docs/research/README.md
  2. docs/research/index.md
  3. docs/research/log.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. 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

Research Wiki loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 881 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 881 words (~1,707 tokens).

“Handle $ARGUMENTS. This is the reusable workflow for operating the docs/research compiled layer without turning research into one-off chat mush.”
