Research Report
Convert research data into formatted markdown reports with custom field selection.
Installation
- Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.
Skills load from
~/.claude/skills/when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then runclaudein any terminal to verify.One-time setupnpm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeAlready have it? Skip ahead.
- Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
This copies the whole skill folder into
~/.claude/skills/research-report-lornshrimp/— the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)
Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.
Quick install (SKILL.md only)Sign up to copy - Restart Claude Code.
Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from
~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup. - Just ask Claude.
Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

When Claude uses it
Summarize deep research results into markdown report, cover all fields, skip uncertain values.

Workflow
Step 1: Locate Results Directory
Find */outline.yaml in current working directory, read topic and output_dir config.
Step 2: Scan Optional Summary Fields
Read all JSON results, extract fields suitable for TOC display (numeric, short metrics), e.g.:
- github_stars
- google_scholar_cites
- swe_bench_score
- user_scale
- valuation
- release_date
Use AskUserQuestion to ask user:
- Which fields to display in TOC besides item name?
- Provide dynamic options list (based on actual fields in JSON)
Step 3: Generate Python Conversion Script
Generate generate_report.py in {topic}/ directory, script requirements:
- Read all JSON from output_dir
- Read fields.yaml to get field structure
- Cover all field values from each JSON
- Skip fields with values containing [uncertain]
- Skip fields listed in uncertain array
- Generate markdown report format: Table of contents (with anchor links + user-selected summary fields) + Detailed content (by field category)
- Save to
{topic}/report.md
TOC Format Requirements:
- Must include every item
- Each item displays: number, name (anchor link), user-selected summary fields
- Example:
1. [GitHub Copilot](#github-copilot) - Stars: 10k | Score: 85%
Script Technical Requirements (Must Follow)
1. JSON Structure Compatibility Support two JSON structures:
- Flat structure: Fields directly at top level
{"name": "xxx", "release_date": "xxx"} - Nested structure: Fields in category sub-dict
{"basic_info": {"name": "xxx"}, "technical_features": {...}}
Field lookup order: Top level -> category mapping key -> Traverse all nested dicts
2. Category Multi-language Mapping fields.yaml category names and JSON keys can be any combination (CN-CN, CN-EN, EN-CN, EN-EN). Must establish bidirectional mapping:
CATEGORY_MAPPING = {
"Basic Info": ["basic_info", "Basic Info"],
"Technical Features": ["technical_features", "technical_characteristics", "Technical Features"],
"Performance Metrics": ["performance_metrics", "performance", "Performance Metrics"],
"Milestone Significance": ["milestone_significance", "milestones", "Milestone Significance"],
"Business Info": ["business_info", "commercial_info", "Business Info"],
"Competition & Ecosystem": ["competition_ecosystem", "competition", "Competition & Ecosystem"],
"History": ["history", "History"],
"Market Positioning": ["market_positioning", "market", "Market Positioning"],
}
3. Complex Value Formatting
- list of dicts (e.g., key_events, funding_history): Format each dict as one line, separate kv with
| - Normal list: Short lists joined with comma, long lists displayed with line breaks
- Nested dict: Recursive formatting, display with semicolon or line breaks
- Long text strings (over 100 chars): Add line breaks
<br>or use blockquote format for readability
4. Extra Fields Collection Collect fields that exist in JSON but not defined in fields.yaml, put in "Other Info" category. Note to filter:
- Internal fields:
_source_file,uncertain - Nested structure top-level keys:
basic_info,technical_featuresetc. uncertainarray: Display each field name on separate line, don't compress into one line
5. Uncertain Value Skipping Skip conditions:
- Field value contains
[uncertain]string - Field name is in
uncertainarray - Field value is None or empty string
Step 4: Execute Script
Run python {topic}/generate_report.py
Output
{topic}/generate_report.py- Conversion script{topic}/report.md- Summary report
