## What it does

The skill creates a structured research directory in `research-wiki/`. It organizes four distinct entity types: papers in `papers/`, ideas in `ideas/`, experiments in `experiments/`, and claims in `claims/`. Relationships between nodes live in `graph/edges.jsonl` using typed edges such as `extends`, `contradicts`, `supports`, and `invalidates`.

It applies a capture filter before saving notes by running the capture filter script. This step strips transient environment errors and negative tool reports, preventing temporary setup failures from hardening into durable claims.

The skill relies on `tools/research_wiki.py` located in `.aris/tools/`, `tools/`, or referenced via `$ARIS_REPO`. If that helper script is missing, `/research-wiki` fails immediately.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill research-wiki -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/research-wiki/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill research-wiki -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill research-wiki -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep research-wiki
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill research-wiki -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --path skills/research-wiki
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill research-wiki -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/tree/HEAD/skills/research-wiki/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- track typed connections between papers, ideas, and experiments
- accumulate structured project claims across agent sessions
- filter out transient tool errors before notes become durable nodes
- initialize a standardized research repository folder layout

## Example prompts
- /research-wiki init
- /research-wiki ingest "<paper title>" — arxiv: <id>
- /research-wiki query

# Research Wiki: Persistent Research Knowledge Base

Subcommand: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Overview

The research wiki is a persistent, per-project knowledge base that accumulates structured knowledge across the entire ARIS research lifecycle. Unlike one-off literature surveys that are used and forgotten, the wiki **compounds** — every paper read, idea tested, experiment run, and review received makes the wiki smarter.

Inspired by [Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern](https://gist.github.com/karpathy/442a6bf555914893e9891c11519de94f): compile knowledge once, keep it current, don't re-derive on every query.

## Core Concepts

### Four Entity Types

| Entity | Directory | Node ID format | What it represents |
|--------|-----------|---------------|--------------------|
| **Paper** | `papers/` | `paper:<slug>` | A published or preprint research paper |
| **Idea** | `ideas/` | `idea:<id>` | A research idea (proposed, tested, or failed) |
| **Experiment** | `experiments/` | `exp:<id>` | A concrete experiment run with results |
| **Claim** | `claims/` | `claim:<id>` | A theorem/headline with an honest PROOF status — born via `/proof-checker` (see Hook 4) |

### Typed Relationships (`graph/edges.jsonl`)

| Edge type | From → To | Meaning |
|-----------|-----------|---------|
| `extends` | paper → paper | Builds on prior work |
| `contradicts` | paper → paper | Disagrees with results/claims |
| `addresses_gap` | paper\|idea → gap | Targets a known field gap |
| `inspired_by` | idea → paper | Idea sourced from this paper |
| `tested_by` | idea\|claim → exp | Tested in this experiment |
| `supports` | exp → claim\|idea | Experiment confirms claim |
| `invalidates` | exp → claim\|idea | Experiment disproves claim |
| `supersedes` | paper → paper | Newer work replaces older |

Edges are stored in `graph/edges.jsonl` only. The `## Connections` section on each page is **auto-generated** from the graph — never hand-edit it.

### Capture hygiene (anti-self-poisoning)

Before persisting an **idea / claim / experiment** note, screen it for
operational noise that would harden into a self-cited falsehood (see
[`shared-references/capture-antipatterns.md`](../shared-references/capture-antipatterns.md)).
Resolve the helper via the canonical chain (integration-contract §2):
```
