Research Digest Wrapper
Use this skill when the user wants a research digest from tracked topics or wants to manage the tracked topic list.
If the user provides an action inline (e.g. /research_digest_wrapper run), execute it immediately. Otherwise ask what they want to do and wait for their reply.
Required digest loop
For every research digest or topic-management task, use:
- Review — inspect requested tag/topic filters, command bounds, digest output path, topic file state, and any script warnings.
- Validate — confirm the digest exists, topic counts and priorities make sense, paper-like items keep identifiers where available, and generated summaries distinguish item metadata from inference.
- Fix — rerun with safer filters, repair topic metadata only after user approval when ambiguous, or report exact remaining gaps.
- Repeat until the digest is usable or the remaining gap is explicitly reported.
When the digest seeds deeper research, preserve identifiers and hand off items to digest_bridge, zotero, paper-lookup, or deep-research-workflow instead of treating digest text as final evidence.
Quick reference
Run digest: run (options: --tag TAG, --min-priority N, --use-llm-summary, --use-llm-scoring)
List topics: list-topics
Add topic: add-topic "name" --tag TAG --priority N
Doctor: doctor
Execution
exec: /workspace/skills/research-digest-wrapper/run_research_digest.sh <COMMAND AND ARGS>
After running, read the digest file and summarize the top findings.
Validation before summarizing:
- confirm the command completed successfully
- confirm the digest path exists and is non-empty
- compare the summarized findings against the digest contents
- report empty topic sets, disabled topics, missing identifiers, or script warnings
- use bounded filters for scheduled or chat-delivered runs
