research
Proactive reading, scoped to what this repo is actually building. The value is entirely in the scoping — a generic "AI papers this week" digest is worthless.
Skills
| Skill | What it does | Typical trigger |
|---|---|---|
research-radar | Derive themes from what the repo has been shipping, query arXiv against them, curate the few genuinely relevant papers, and ship a dated digest as a PR. | scheduled weekly, or "scan arxiv" |
A note on trust
arXiv is an open submission channel, so paper titles and abstracts are text a stranger wrote, and
the digest this skill produces is committed to your repo. It summarizes rather than reproduces, and
follows references/untrusted-input.md for anything addressed to
automation. It also reports only what the abstract claims — it reads abstracts, not full papers, and
says so.
Configuration
Every skill here reads the repo's config contract — .claude/maintainerd.json plus
.claude/guidelines/*.md, checked into the consuming repo. Run /bootstrap (from
maintainerd-core) to generate it. The canonical schema ships with this plugin at
references/config-schema.md.
Skills that read text authored outside the repo follow the shared contract in
references/untrusted-input.md; scheduled skills note which model
tier they want in references/model-tiers.md.
