Trigger Rules
Use this skill when the user request matches its research workflow scope. Prefer the bundled resources instead of recreating templates or reference material. Keep outputs traceable to project files, citations, scripts, or upstream evidence.
Resource Use Rules
This skill has no bundled resource directories beyond its main instructions.
Execution Contract
Resolve every relative path from this skill directory first.
Prefer inspection before mutation when invoking bundled scripts.
If a required runtime, CLI, credential, or API is unavailable, explain the blocker and continue with the best manual fallback instead of silently skipping the step.
Do not write generated artifacts back into the skill directory; save them inside the active project workspace.
Upstream Instructions
Inno Prepare Resources
Inputs
Read from instance.json. Path values are absolute when the project is created by Dr. Claw; use as-is. If relative (e.g. hand-edited), resolve with path.join(project_path, value).

Ideation.references
Yes
Path to Ideation references dir (absolute in Dr. Claw) — for downloaded papers and prepare logs
Experiment.code_references
Yes
Path (absolute in Dr. Claw) — for cloned repos

Cache file outputs
Every intermediate result must be persisted as a JSON file under Ideation/references/logs/. The directory layout follows:
Ideation/references/logs/
├── load_instance.json ← written by orchestrator
├── github_search.json
├── download_arxiv_source_by_title.json
└── prepare_agent.json
Ideation/references/logs/load_instance.json is written by the orchestrator before this skill runs — do not overwrite it.
Tool cache format (tools/*.json)
Each tool output file records the function call arguments and result:
download_arxiv_source_by_title.json — written after Step 6:
{"name":"download_arxiv_source_by_title","args":{"paper_list":["paper title 1","paper title 2"],"references_path":"<instance.Ideation.references if absolute, else path.join(project_path, instance.Ideation.references)>"},"result":"<download result log string>"}
Agent cache format (agents/*.json)
Each agent output file records the final context variables (no conversation messages):
{"context_variables":{"references_path":"<use instance.Ideation.references as-is if absolute, else path.join(project_path, ...)>","code_references_path":"<use instance.Experiment.code_references as-is if absolute, else path.join(project_path, ...)>","datasets_path":"<use instance.Experiment.datasets as-is if absolute, else path.join(project_path, ...)>","date_limit":"YYYY-MM-DD","prepare_result":{"reference_codebases":["repo1","repo2"],"reference_paths":["Experiment/code_references/repo1","Experiment/code_references/repo2"],"reference_papers":["paper title 1","paper title 2"]}}}
prepare_agent.json — written after Step 4–5. Contains the final context_variables with prepare_result holding reference_codebases, reference_paths, and reference_papers.
Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1 — Load the evaluation instance
Call load_instance(instance.instance, task_level) — when created by Dr. Claw, instance.instance is already absolute; otherwise resolve with path.join(project_path, instance.instance).
This reads the instance JSON and returns an EvalMetadata object containing:
source_papers — list of dicts, each with reference, rank, type, justification, usage
task_instructions — the task description text (from the field named by task_level)
date_limit — the publication date of the target paper (fetched from arXiv via the instance url); defaults to "2024-01-01" if metadata cannot be retrieved
Write date_limit into context_variables["date_limit"].
Note: Ideation/references/logs/load_instance.json should already exist — it was written by the orchestrator. If not, write it now following the tool cache format.
Graceful handling: If the instance JSON was constructed by the orchestrator and has no url or an empty source_papers list, use a sensible default date_limit and continue — do not raise an error.
Step 2 — Search GitHub for related repositories
Call github_search(metadata).
Iterate over every entry in metadata["source_papers"]. For each paper, use its reference (title) as the search query and call the GitHub Search Repositories API:
GET https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=<paper_title>&per_page=10&page=1
From each result item, extract:
name: {owner}/{repo}
description: repository description
link: html_url
Format each paper's results as a human-readable block:
Here are some of the repositories I found on GitHub:
Name: owner/repo
Description: ...
Link: https://github.com/owner/repo
Concatenate all papers' results into a single github_result string, using a ****************************** separator between papers.
Rate-limit handling: wait ~2 seconds between consecutive GitHub API calls to avoid HTTP 403 throttling. The last paper does not need a delay.
Fallback when source_papers is empty: use keywords extracted from task_instructions as the search query instead, and perform a single GitHub search call to find relevant repositories.
Save → Ideation/references/logs/github_search.json
Step 3 — Build the dataset description
Choose one of the following strategies (in priority order):
Orchestrator override — if dataset_description was passed as input, use it directly.
Built-in metaprompt — if category maps to an existing metaprompt module, import it and compose the description from its five fields:
TASK — what the task is about
DATASET — dataset files, structure, and loading instructions
BASELINE — representative baseline methods
COMPARISON — performance comparison table
EVALUATION — evaluation metrics and scoring functions
REF — additional references and notes
The composed description follows this template:
You should select SEVERAL datasets as experimental datasets from the following description:
{DATASET}
We have already selected the following baselines for these datasets:
{BASELINE}
The performance comparison of these datasets:
{COMPARISON}
And the evaluation metrics are:
{EVALUATION}
{REF}
Manual / minimal — if neither of the above is available, construct a minimal description from what is known about the task (e.g. from task_instructions), or ask the user for additional information.
Also retain the data_module object (the imported metaprompt module) for later use in Idea mode.
Step 4 — Query the Prepare Agent
Build the query depending on mode:
Idea mode (no ideas provided):
You are given a list of papers, searching results of the papers on GitHub.
List of papers:
{references}
Searching results of the papers on GitHub:
{github_result}
Your task is to choose at least 5 repositories as the reference codebases.
Note that this time there is no innovative ideas, you should choose the
most valuable repositories as the reference codebases.
Plan mode (ideas provided):
You are given a list of papers, searching results of the papers on GitHub,
and innovative ideas according to the papers.
List of papers:
{references}
Searching results of the papers on GitHub:
{github_result}
innovative ideas:
{ideas}
Your task is to choose at least 5 repositories as the reference codebases.
Send the query to the Prepare Agent and record the full response as prepare_res.
Save → Ideation/references/logs/prepare_agent.json (final context_variables only, no messages)
Step 5 — Extract reference paper list
Parse prepare_res to extract a JSON object containing "reference_papers" (a list of paper title strings the agent selected).
Use bracket-matching JSON extraction — find the first complete {…} in the text, parse it, and read reference_papers.
Fallback: if reference_papers is empty (e.g. the agent found no GitHub repos and returned nothing), fall back to the original source_papers titles from the instance metadata so that paper download can still proceed.
Step 6 — Download arXiv paper sources
Call download_arxiv_source_by_title(paper_list, references_path) where references_path is instance.Ideation.references (absolute in Dr. Claw) or path.join(project_path, instance.Ideation.references) if relative.
This searches arXiv for each paper title, downloads the LaTeX / source archive, and extracts it into Ideation/references/papers/. Record the result log as download_res.
Save → Ideation/references/logs/download_arxiv_source_by_title.json
