lamm-mit Metabolism Initialization Skill Overview
This skill enables knowledge metabolism initialization for research topics through a structured Day 0 baseline-building process.
Key Components
Configuration Setup: The system checks for metabolism/config.json and creates it if absent, capturing research direction, keywords, categories, and processing history.
Directory Structure: Establishes organized workspace with subdirectories for knowledge, hypotheses, experiments, conversations, and logging.
Three-Phase Workflow:
Broad Literature Survey — Delegates to
/research-collectto gather foundational and recent works without date restrictions, generating metadata and downloadsPaper Analysis — Extracts core methodologies and conclusions from TeX sources or PDFs, tracking processed IDs to avoid duplication
Knowledge State Construction — Creates indexed summaries mapping identified topics with cross-references, timelines, and open questions
Documentation: Generates metabolism/knowledge/_index.md with research goals, topic tables, and relationship mapping, plus topic-specific markdown files and timestamped initialization logs.
Operational Principles
The skill operates autonomously post-configuration, avoiding data fabrication and requiring content verification before modifications. It spawns sessions that share the working directory, streamlining collaborative processes.
