Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned simhacker/moollm at 8f6d840b2f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The research-notebook skill allows AI agents to create and manage a persistent, structured notebook of research findings. It facilitates organizing notes, links, and summaries related to specific topics or projects. The agent can then recall and synthesize information from this notebook later for improved reasoning and task completion.

When to use it

  • Literature Reviews: An agent needs to gather and organize information from multiple sources for a research paper.
  • Competitive Analysis: An agent is tasked with tracking competitor products and features over time.
  • Project Planning: An agent requires a centralized place to store ideas, meeting notes, and relevant links for a complex project.
  • Personal Knowledge Management: An agent needs to build up expertise in a specific domain by systematically collecting and organizing information.

Key capabilities

  • Create new notebook entries.
  • Add text notes to entries.
  • Save URLs as references within entries.
  • Recall and summarize information from the notebook.

Example prompts

  • "Create a research notebook entry titled 'Large Language Model Safety' and add a note summarizing this article: [URL]"
  • "Summarize all entries in my research notebook related to 'quantum computing'."
  • "Add a URL for a paper on reinforcement learning to the 'Deep Learning' notebook."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of this skill depends on clear and consistent prompting when adding information. Ambiguous or poorly formatted input may result in disorganized notes within the research notebook.
