At a glance

Add items (research objects) to existing research outline. An agent skill from Weizhena/Deep-Research-skills.

  • Works in 3 steps: Auto-locate Outline → Get Supplement Sources in Parallel → Merge and Update
  • Research & Science work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Trigger, Workflow and Output
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Research Add Items is an agent skill from Weizhena/Deep-Research-skills. Add items (research objects) to existing research outline.

Its SKILL.md is about 200 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. The repository describes itself as: Structured deep research skill for Claude Code/Open Code/Codex with human-in-the-loop control. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Research & Science work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/research-add-items”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, WebSearch, Task, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Auto-locate Outline
  2. Get Supplement Sources in Parallel
  3. Merge and Update

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ce38f6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • WebSearch
    • Task
    • AskUserQuestion

    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 Add Items loads about 204 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 78 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~204

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, WebSearch, Task, AskUserQuestion

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.

Research Add Items - Supplement Research Objects

Trigger

/research-add-items

Workflow

Step 1: Auto-locate Outline

Find */outline.yaml file in current working directory, auto-read.

Step 2: Get Supplement Sources in Parallel

Simultaneously:

  • A. Ask user: What items to supplement? Any specific names?
  • B. Ask if Web Search needed: Launch agent to search for more items?
Step 3: Merge and Update
  • Append new items to outline.yaml
  • Display to user for confirmation
  • Avoid duplicates
  • Save updated outline

Output

Updated {topic}/outline.yaml file (in-place modification)
