Produce a Bookends-native, deep-linked, highlighted research report on any topic. Creates a Bookends group with subtopic child groups plus a Reports folder, and retrieves sources (guidelines, systematic reviews, key studies) Bookends-first: candidate papers are enumerated by a routine Firecrawl Research / PubMed search per subtopic (verified PMIDs/DOIs), then retrieved via Bookends' search, identifier lookup and PDF download. Attaches full-text PDFs, writes one persistent highlight and a page-accurate bookends:// deep link per source, and assembles ONE combined HTML report (highlighted deep-linked quotes, stance table, narrative synthesis, Vancouver references). Use whenever the user asks for a Bookends research report, a deep-linked or highlighted literature review, evidence synthesis or annotated bibliography in Bookends, or says 'run the Bookends research skill' or 'bookends:// deep-linked quotes'. Depends on the Bookends MCP server that ships inside Bookends.app.
Claude Skills are markdown + scripts loaded into Claude Code; scanned with the same pipeline.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
Claude Skills install to a single target, no runtime picker.
nerlo install -- richardkaplan/bookends-research-skill
Manual alternative: copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/ so Claude Code loads it on next launch.
cp -r -- richardkaplan/bookends-research-skill ~/.claude/skills/
Install respects the composite badge: Clean proceeds, Caution prompts for confirmation, and Flagged is refused. Write operations require an API token.
4 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
Out of 24 findings across every scanner that examined this package.
These findings are in files this artifact installs and are not placeholder values. No false-positive basis can be corroborated for such a finding, so this review never dismisses one; they were not sent to the model and stand at their scanner's severity.

Artifact exhibits high-risk configuration and network egress capabilities.
The artifact contains a high-severity configuration issue in `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` and a high-severity finding in `plugins/bookends-research-skill/skills/bookends-research-skill/SKILL.md`. It also makes multiple undeclared network requests, indicating potential data egress capabilities. These network activities are observed across 14 occurrences.
Concern level assessed by the review: High. This is the review's scale, not the registry badge.
Reviewed by gemini-2.5-flash. The model sees the findings, not your code, and cannot change a score.
