Research Pipeline

Automated literature research pipeline for Chopin's academic work. Combines arXiv search, paper summarization, and Obsidian note-taking into a single workflo...

Security Scan

The skill's instructions and included files are consistent with an automated literature-research pipeline; it is an instruction-only skill that delegates search, summarization, note-creation, and reporting to other skills.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description (arXiv search → summarize → save to Obsidian → report) match the SKILL.md workflow and the included research-topics file. Nothing in the skill requests unrelated binaries, installs, or surprising capabilities.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to: read the included research-topics.md, call the arxiv and paper-summarize-academic skills for results, create notes with the obsidian skill, and send a digest via Feishu. The skill does instruct sending data to an external messaging endpoint (Feishu) and creating notes in Obsidian — expected for its purpose, but these are external actions that will transmit research content outside the agent unless the environment/other skills restrict them.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — lowest-risk model for on-disk behavior. The skill only contains instructions and a small local reference file.

Credentials

The skill itself declares no required credentials or env vars; however it depends on other runtime skills (obsidian, Feishu, arxiv, summarizer) that typically require credentials or network access. The lack of declared credentials is not necessarily incorrect for an instruction-only delegating skill, but you should confirm the specific integrations that will be used have appropriate, minimal permissions.

Persistence & Privilege

Does not request always:true or any system-wide persistence. It references a workspace file included in the bundle and asks to be triggered by cron, which is an external scheduling detail rather than a privilege escalation.

Assessment

This skill appears coherent and does what it says: it automates arXiv searches, summarizes papers, writes Obsidian notes, and posts a digest to Feishu. Before installing, verify: (1) which implementations of the referenced skills (obsidian, Feishu, arxiv, paper-summarize-academic) your agent will call and what credentials they require; (2) that Feishu posting is acceptable for sending research content externally; (3) that the Obsidian integration only writes to the intended vault/path; and (4) whether you want the pipeline to run automatically on a cron (automated posting can leak content if misconfigured). If you need higher assurance, inspect the actual implementations of the delegated skills (their env requirements and network endpoints) before enabling automated triggers.

Automated end-to-end research workflow: search → summarize → save to Obsidian.

Workflow

Step 1: Search arXiv

Use the arxiv skill to search for papers on the target topic.

Search arXiv for: <query>
Limit: 5-10 most relevant papers

Key research topics for Chopin:

• Multi-vehicle formation control
• Event-triggered communication
• Collision avoidance in multi-agent systems
• Reinforcement learning for formation control
• Learning-based control with event-triggered communication

Step 2: Summarize Papers

For each promising paper, use paper-summarize-academic to get:

• Paper title, authors, date
• Core contribution
• Key methodology
• Relevance to Chopin's research

Step 3: Save to Obsidian

Use the obsidian skill to create literature notes:

• One note per paper in References/ folder
• Tag with: #paper #formation-control #event-triggered etc.
• Include: title, authors, year, arXiv link, summary, key takeaways

Step 4: Report to Chopin

Send a brief digest via Feishu with:

• Number of papers found
• Top 3 most relevant papers with 1-line summary each
• Link to full notes in Obsidian

Research Topics Tracker

Maintain a research-topics.md in workspace tracking:

• Active topics of interest
• Last searched date
• Papers found count

See references/research-topics.md for Chopin's current research profile.

Cron Integration

When triggered by daily cron (research update):

1. Check research-topics.md for active topics
2. Search arXiv for each topic (new papers since last check)
3. Summarize and save new findings
4. Report only genuinely new/interesting papers (avoid spam)
