+ # MAS Technology Risk Management (TRM) Guidelines — Engineering Control Reference
2
+
3
+ Engineering-relevant expectations from the Monetary Authority of Singapore's TRM Guidelines (January 2021), organized for change triage. Section numbers follow the official guidelines. The TRM Guidelines apply to all MAS-regulated financial institutions; they are principles-based guidelines (not prescriptive rules), so findings should be framed as "expectation gaps", and the institution's own TRM-aligned policies take precedence where stricter.

+
5
+ Related instruments to flag when relevant (not summarized here): MAS Notices on Cyber Hygiene (legally binding baseline), Outsourcing Guidelines, and the MAS AI model risk management information paper for AI/ML systems.

7
+ # Not-a-Vibe-Coder
8
+
9
+ A skill that turns any project idea — no matter how vague — into 8 living planning
10
+ documents that act as the project's persistent memory across a long context window.
11
+ The documents are the source of truth for "what we agreed on"; the user's live
12
+ instructions are always the final authority and can override the docs at any time.
13
+
14
+ ## Core Principles (never violate these)
15
+
16
+ 1. **User command > files > AI assumptions.** If the user says something that
17
+ contradicts a file, the user wins — and the relevant file(s) should then be
18
+ updated to reflect the new instruction.
19
+ 2. **No silent additions.** Never add features, tech choices, pages, tables, or
20
+ rules the user did not ask for or approve. If something seems missing, ask —
21
+ don't assume. Exception: when the user explicitly says "fill it in",
22
+ "brainstorm the rest", "you decide", etc. — see Phase 3.
23
+ 3. **Design.md is special.** NEVER fill Design.md with your own taste. Always ask
24
+ the user for style direction (e.g. minimal, playful, corporate, dark mode,
25
+ neumorphic, etc.) and a color palette (or offer 2-3 palette options to pick
26
+ from) before writing anything into it.
27
+ 4. **One file at a time, in order**, during initial planning — don't dump all 8
28
+ files at once unless the user explicitly asks for that.
29
+ 5. **Tracker.md is append-only progress tracking** — update it whenever work is
30
+ completed, never rewrite history, just check items off and add new ones as
31
+ they emerge.
32
+ 6. **Mid-project changes ripple.** If the user requests a change mid-build that
33
+ affects earlier decisions (e.g. "actually let's use Postgres instead of
34
+ Firebase", "add a booking feature"), update ALL affected files yourself,
35
+ without being asked file-by-file. Then summarize what changed.
36
+ 7. **Read before you write.** At the start of any session, if these files
37
+ already exist in the project, read all 8 before doing anything else — they
38
+ are your memory.
39
+
40
+ ## The 8 Files
41
+
42
+ | File | Purpose |
43
+ |---|---|
44
+ | PRD.md | What the app does, features, goals, user requirements |
45
+ | TechSpec.md | Architecture, tech stack, APIs, database choices |
46
+ | AppFlow.md | User flows and navigation |
47
+ | Design.md | UI/UX guidelines, layout, style, color palette |
48
+ | Schema.md | Database tables, relationships, data models |
49
+ | ImplementationPlan.md | Step-by-step development roadmap |
50
+ | Tracker.md | Completed work, pending tasks, progress |
51
+ | Rules.md | Coding standards, constraints, project rules |
52
+
53
+ ## Workflow
54
+
55
+ ### Phase 0 — Detect intent
56
+
57
+ - ONLY for brand new projects. If project has existing code files, ABORT and do not use this skill.
58
+ - If the user gives a one-liner idea ("build me a restaurant ordering app") for a new project,
59
+ this is the trigger to start Phase 1.
60
+ - If the user gives a fully detailed spec already, you can still create the
61
+ files but populate them directly from what they said — skip redundant
62
+ questions.
63
+
64
+ ### Phase 1 — PRD.md first
65
+
66
+ This is the foundation. Everything else depends on it.
67
+
68
+ - Take whatever the user gave you (even just "restaurant app") and ask a small
69
+ number of clarifying questions to flesh out the PRD — target audience, core
70
+ features, platforms (web/mobile/both), must-haves vs nice-to-haves, monetization
71
+ if any, etc. Use `ask_user_input_v0` for quick multiple-choice clarifications
72
+ where natural.
73
+ - The user can also choose to skip Q&A and just write directly into PRD.md
74
+ themselves — if they say "I'll fill it in", create a skeleton PRD.md with
75
+ section headers and placeholders, and wait for them.
76
+ - Do not invent features. If the user's answer is vague, ask again or offer
77
+ options — don't fill gaps with assumptions.
78
+ - Once the PRD feels solid, write PRD.md, show it to the user, and get
79
+ confirmation before moving to the next file.
80
+
81
+ ### Phase 2 — Remaining files, one by one (except Design.md)
82
+
83
+ In this order: TechSpec.md → AppFlow.md → Schema.md → ImplementationPlan.md →
84
+ Rules.md → Tracker.md → Design.md (last, see Phase 2.5).
85
+
86
+ For each file:
87
+ - Propose a draft based on the PRD and any prior files, OR ask the user
88
+ questions if there's a real decision to make (e.g. "Should this use
89
+ PostgreSQL or a simpler option like SQLite/Firebase?").
90
+ - Show the draft, ask for confirmation or edits.
91
+ - Only move to the next file after the user is satisfied with the current one.
92
+
93
+ If the user says "just fill out the rest yourself, no assumptions, brainstorm
94
+ properly" — this means: make reasonable, justifiable choices consistent with
95
+ the PRD and any constraints already stated (not random/lazy defaults), but
96
+ still present everything to the user afterward for review before building
97
+ starts. "No assumptions" here means "don't contradict or extend the PRD's
98
+ intent" — not "ask about every detail."
99
+
100
+ ### Phase 2.5 — Design.md (always interactive)
101
+
102
+ Never write Design.md without asking the user:
103
+ - Overall style direction (e.g. minimal / modern / playful / corporate / retro /
104
+ brutalist / glassmorphism / dark-first) — offer `ask_user_input_v0` choices
105
+ if helpful.
106
+ - Color palette — either ask for specific colors/hex codes, or offer 2-3
107
+ palette options matching their chosen style and let them pick.
108
+ - Typography preferences, spacing density, any reference sites/apps they like.
109
+
110
+ Only after this input is gathered do you write Design.md.
111
+
112
+ ### Phase 3 — Final review
113
+
114
+ - Once all 8 files are drafted, present a short summary of the whole plan and
115
+ ask the user to review everything (especially Rules.md — ask if they want to
116
+ add any constraints, e.g. "no external libraries", "TypeScript only",
117
+ "must work offline", etc.).
118
+ - Explicitly ask: "Anything to change before I start building?"
119
+
120
+ ### Phase 4 — Build
121
+
122
+ - Once the user confirms, begin implementation following ImplementationPlan.md
123
+ step by step.
124
+ - As each step/task is completed, mark it done in Tracker.md (check it off,
125
+ add a short note/date if useful).
126
+ - Never deviate from ImplementationPlan.md, Rules.md, TechSpec.md, or Schema.md
127
+ without explicit user instruction.
128
+ - If the user gives a new instruction mid-build that isn't in the files:
129
+ follow it immediately (user command is final), AND update the relevant
130
+ file(s) afterward so the docs stay in sync. Briefly tell the user which
131
+ files you updated and why.
132
+
133
+ ## Quick Reference: Decision Rules
134
+
135
+ - Ambiguous feature request → ask, don't assume.
136
+ - User explicitly says "you decide" / "brainstorm it" → make a reasoned,
137
+ PRD-consistent choice, document it, present for review — don't silently bake
138
+ it in.
139
+ - Conflict between user's current message and a file → user wins; then sync
140
+ the file.
141
+ - Design.md → always ask style + colors first, no exceptions.
142
+ - Any completed task → update Tracker.md immediately.
143
+ - Mid-project pivot → update all affected files proactively, summarize changes.
144
+
145
+ ## Limitations
146
+ - Only works for new projects. Will fail if run on existing codebases.
147
+ - Relies heavily on accurate user input during the initial PRD generation.

17
+ # Papers Skill
18
+
19
+ ## Overview
20
+
21
+ Papers Skill turns a coding agent into a literature-research assistant. It
22
+ orchestrates a bundled Python CLI (`scripts/papers.py`) that hits the free
23
+ Semantic Scholar and arXiv APIs, downloads arXiv PDFs, and extracts text with
24
+ PyMuPDF. The agent decides which subcommand to invoke and how to combine
25
+ results into a literature scan, a deep read of one paper, an impact analysis,
26
+ or a reading list.
27
+
28
+ This skill is the Skill-mode port of the
29
+ [papers-mcp](https://github.com/xwmxcz/papers-mcp) MCP server by the same
30
+ author. Both projects share the same feature set; this one ships as a
31
+ Claude Code plugin so it can be installed with a single command and needs no
32
+ long-running MCP process.
33
+
34
+ ## When to Use This Skill
35
+
36
+ - Use when the user asks to search academic papers by topic, author, or venue.
37
+ - Use when the user names a specific paper (by DOI, arXiv ID, or title) and
38
+ wants metadata, the abstract, the TL;DR, or its reference list.
39
+ - Use when the user wants to find work that **cites** a known paper (impact
40
+ analysis, follow-up tracking).
41
+ - Use when the user wants to download an arXiv PDF and have it summarized.
42
+ - Use when the user asks to build a reading list around a topic.
43
+
44
+ ## Do Not Use This Skill When
45
+
46
+ - The user wants paywalled non-arXiv full text. This skill cannot bypass
47
+ publisher paywalls; it can only fetch arXiv PDFs and metadata everywhere.
48
+ - The user wants OCR over scanned PDFs. PyMuPDF extracts embedded text only;
49
+ scanned image-PDFs return the fallback message and need a separate OCR step.
50
+ - The user wants real-time citation alerts or RSS-style watching. This skill
51
+ is request-driven.
52
+
53
+ ## How It Works
54
+
55
+ ### Step 1: Verify dependencies
56
+
57
+ Three Python packages are required. The skill should check once per session,
58
+ using the **same interpreter** to import-check and install so the dependency
59
+ check and install target stay in sync:
60
+
61
+ ```bash
62
+ python -c "import httpx, arxiv, fitz" 2>&1 || python -m pip install httpx arxiv PyMuPDF
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ If `python` is not on PATH, fall back to `py` (Windows launcher) or the
66
+ absolute interpreter path — and remember to invoke pip via the same
67
+ interpreter, e.g. `py -m pip install httpx arxiv PyMuPDF`.
68
+
69
+ ### Step 2: Invoke the bundled CLI
70
+
71
+ The script lives at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py`
72
+ and is bundled with this skill (no separate install needed). Always quote the
73
+ path so it survives spaces.
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" <subcommand> [args]
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ### Step 3: Pick the right subcommand
80
+
81
+ | Subcommand | Purpose | Example |
82
+ |---|---|---|
83
+ | `search <query> [--limit N]` | Semantic Scholar search, max 20 | `search "diffusion models" --limit 5` |
84
+ | `detail <paper_id>` | Full metadata, TL;DR, top references | `detail 10.48550/arXiv.2310.06825` |
85
+ | `citations <paper_id> [--limit N]` | Papers citing this one, max 20 | `citations <id> --limit 15` |
86
+ | `arxiv <query> [--max-results N]` | arXiv preprint search, max 10 | `arxiv "RLHF" --max-results 5` |
87
+ | `download <arxiv_id> [--save-dir D]` | Save PDF locally | `download 2310.06825 --save-dir ./pdfs` |
88
+ | `read <pdf_path> [--max-pages N]` | Extract PDF text via PyMuPDF | `read ./pdfs/foo.pdf --max-pages 20` |
89
+
90
+ `detail` and `citations` auto-detect the ID type: DOIs starting with `10.`
91
+ are used as-is, bare numeric IDs of 10+ digits are treated as arXiv IDs, and
92
+ long hex strings are treated as Semantic Scholar `paperId`s.
93
+
94
+ ## Examples
95
+
96
+ ### Example 1: Literature scan on a topic
97
+
98
+ ```bash
99
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" search "retrieval augmented generation" --limit 10
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ Present results as a ranked table with **# | Title | Year | Citations | ID**,
103
+ then ask the user which papers to dig into.
104
+
105
+ ### Example 2: Deep-read one paper
106
+
107
+ ```bash
108
+ # 1. Confirm match
109
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" detail 2005.11401
110
+ # 2. Download
111
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" download 2005.11401 --save-dir ./pdfs
112
+ # 3. Extract abstract + intro + conclusion
113
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" read ./pdfs/2005.11401v4.RAG.pdf --max-pages 10
114
+ ```
115
+
116
+ Summarize as: **problem · method · key result · limitations**.
117
+
118
+ ### Example 3: Impact analysis on an anchor paper
119
+
120
+ ```bash
121
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" detail 10.48550/arXiv.2005.11401
122
+ python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/papers-skill/scripts/papers.py" citations 10.48550/arXiv.2005.11401 --limit 20
123
+ ```
124
+
125
+ Cluster the citing papers by year/theme and highlight the most-cited
126
+ follow-ups.
127
+
128
+ ## Best Practices
129
+
130
+ - ✅ Always call `detail` before `download` to confirm the paper matches user
131
+ intent. Skipping this leads to wrong PDFs being fetched.
132
+ - ✅ Include the paper ID alongside every title in your output so the user
133
+ can re-query precisely.
134
+ - ✅ Cite as `[FirstAuthor et al., Year] *Title* (cites: N)`.
135
+ - ✅ For PDFs you download, always report the absolute save path.
136
+ - ❌ Don't crawl. The script auto-retries 429s with exponential backoff;
137
+ don't pile on parallel queries.
138
+ - ❌ Don't raise `--max-pages` to 100+ without warning the user — it can
139
+ consume a large amount of context.
140
+
141
+ ## Limitations
142
+
143
+ - The skill cannot fetch full text from paywalled publishers (Elsevier,
144
+ Springer, Wiley, etc.). It can only read open arXiv PDFs.
145
+ - PyMuPDF extracts embedded text only. Scanned image-PDFs return the
146
+ fallback message `PDF无法提取文本(可能是扫描件)`; offer the user an
147
+ alternative version or note that OCR is required.
148
+ - Semantic Scholar's anonymous tier rate-limits aggressively. The script
149
+ retries 3× with exponential backoff; persistent 429s during heavy use
150
+ surface as `搜索失败: rate limit, retries exhausted`.
151
+ - This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or
152
+ expert review. Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs are
153
+ missing.
154
+
155
+ ## Security & Safety Notes
156
+
157
+ - The CLI performs **outbound HTTPS only** to `api.semanticscholar.org` and
158
+ `arxiv.org` (and the arXiv-listed mirror for the bundled `arxiv` package).
159
+ No authentication tokens are sent.
160
+ - `download` writes a PDF to the directory the user specifies (default: the
161
+ current working directory). Confirm the save path with the user before
162
+ downloading to an unexpected location.
163
+ - `read` opens a local PDF file with PyMuPDF — make sure the path the user
164
+ supplies is one they trust.
165
+ - No credentials or API keys are needed or stored anywhere.
166
+
167
+ ## Common Pitfalls
168
+
169
+ - **Problem:** `需要安装 arxiv: pip install arxiv` or `需要安装 PyMuPDF: pip install PyMuPDF`.
170
+ **Solution:** The script returns this friendly message instead of crashing
171
+ when an optional dependency is missing. Offer to run the install command.
172
+
173
+ - **Problem:** `搜索失败: rate limit, retries exhausted` from `search` or
174
+ `detail` or `citations`.
175
+ **Solution:** Semantic Scholar is rate-limiting. Wait ~10 seconds and
176
+ retry once. For repeated runs, fall back to `arxiv` for arXiv-indexed work.
177
+
178
+ - **Problem:** `download` fails with `找不到 arXiv ID: …`.
179
+ **Solution:** The user gave a non-arXiv ID (likely a DOI for a non-arXiv
180
+ paper). Use `detail` to inspect; only papers with an `externalIds.ArXiv`
181
+ field can be downloaded.
182
+
183
+ - **Problem:** Garbled Chinese output on Windows.
184
+ **Solution:** The script already forces UTF-8 stdout. If the host
185
+ terminal is still misconfigured, set `PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8` in the
186
+ shell environment.
