research-architect-literature
Use when a Research Architect project needs accessible target-reference papers analyzed for transferable research logic, or candidate questions positioned against literature, gaps, evidence standards, and independent study options—not generic bibliography collection.
npx skills add mmTheBest/Research-Architect --skill research-architect-literature --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Research Architect Literature and Exemplar Analysis Use two passes when target references exist; otherwise use the positioning pass after brainstorming. Explain how a paper works without reproducing its source-specific content. ## Shared resources and canonical outputs Read `../research-architect/references/literature-map-framework.md`. Use these installed-suite templates only as column or structure contracts: ```text ../research-architect/templates/exemplar_logic_profile.md ../research-architect/templates/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md ../research-architect/templates/corpus_inventory.csv ../research-architect/templates/gap_map.csv ../research-architect/templates/motivation_options_after_literature.md ``` Write tabular outputs as Markdown in `paper_output/`, including `gap_map.md` for the literature gap artifact. For a final adaptation plan, create `paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md.metadata.json` following `../research-architect/schemas/v1/exemplar_adaptation_plan.schema.json`. ## Pass 1 — Target-reference analysis Read: ```text paper_output/project_config.json paper_output/source_inventory.md paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present accessible target-reference full

What does the research-architect-literature skill do?
Use when a Research Architect project needs accessible target-reference papers analyzed for transferable research logic, or candidate questions positioned against literature, gaps, evidence standards, and independent study options—not generic bibliography collection.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mmTheBest/Research-Architect --skill research-architect-literature --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mmTheBest/Research-Architect, a repository with 67 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
