What it does
Novelty Matrix is an agent skill from WILLOSCAR/research-units-pipeline-skills. Use when paper-review needs overlap/delta positioning against provided related work.
Its SKILL.md is about 360 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 Research & Science, covering Literature review, Peer review and Positioning and messaging. 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
- Paper-review needs overlap/delta positioning against provided related work
- Tasks that involve Literature review
- Tasks that involve Peer review
Example prompts
- “/novelty-matrix”
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.
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
Novelty Matrix loads about 364 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 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); 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 155 words (~364 tokens).
“Transforms a claim ledger plus related-work surface into a novelty positioning table for paper-review.”
