What it does

Idea Signal Mapper is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Map paper notes + taxonomy into a signal table of tensions, missing pieces, and promising academic axes for brainstorm discussion. Writes output/trace/IDEASIGNALTABLE.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/run.py`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Brainstorming and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Research pipelines as semantic execution units: each skill declares inputs/outputs, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Evidence-first methodology prevents hollow writing…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Brainstorming
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/idea-signal-mapper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c92912a. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Idea Signal Mapper loads about 336 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~336

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 126 words (~336 tokens).
