One thing to look at

0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when writing or editing .py files. Enforces approved-source research before code writes. Trigger: any .py file creation or modification. This skill reads config/approved_sources.json and validates that research.md contains URLs from approved domains that actually resolve. Blocks writes without valid research.

Research Gate

What it enforces

Before ANY .py file can be written or edited:

A research.md file must exist at the target project root
It must be fresh (modified within the configured window)
It must contain URLs from domains listed in config/approved_sources.json for the active project
URLs must actually resolve (not just domain-match — the link must be real)
Citations are logged to .claude/research_citations.log (append-only TSV)

Approved sources

Sources are defined per-project in config/approved_sources.json. The agent NEVER modifies this file. Only Sage adds entries via /sagex:approve-source or /sagex:edit-mode.

Default approved domains: arxiv.org, github.com

Project-specific domains inherit from global + project-level entries.

What happens on failure

No research.md: BLOCK. Agent must research first.
Stale research.md: BLOCK. Agent must refresh research.
No approved URLs: BLOCK. Agent must find approved sources.
URLs from unapproved domains: BLOCK. Denial message lists approved domains.
URL doesn't resolve: BLOCK. Agent must verify the link works.

Integration

This skill describes the behavior. The mechanical enforcement is in hooks/validate_research.py which fires as a PreToolUse hook on Write/Edit events. The skill exists so agents understand WHY they're being blocked and what to do about it.
