README.md

Savage Research Framework

A Claude Code plugin that runs a savagely self-critiquing, multi-agent research pipeline on a local repository and emits a no-bullshit markdown report.

What it does

Point it at a local repo. It reads the pitch, extracts every claim, dispatches five specialist agents in parallel (prior-art, claim-audit, failure-modes, traction, framing), synthesizes their findings, runs an adversary that tries to kill the synthesis, revises against the kill-list, self-audits against hard invariants, and emits a report to <repo>/.research/.

Usage

/research <local-path-to-repo>

Example:

/research ./test-fixtures/bullshit-repo

Install (Claude Code Plugin)

Add this repo as a plugin marketplace and install, directly from Claude Code:

# Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add AliBassam/savage-researcher
/plugin install savage-research@savage-researcher

That's it. No clone, no per-project setup. The /research command is available in every Claude Code session on your machine.

To uninstall:

/plugin uninstall savage-research@savage-researcher

To verify it's loaded:

/plugin

savage-research should appear in the plugins list, with /research available as a command.

How to tell it worked

After /research <path>, check <path>/.research/:

  • The top-level YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-<repo>.md is the final report.
  • runs/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM/ contains the full working trail: ingest summary, claim list, all five scratchpads, every draft version, kill-list, and audit results.
