Rstack — Development skill for Claude Code

RStack: Claude code for Research

[](LICENSE) [](CHANGELOG.md) [](CONTRIBUTING.md)

Research automation skills for Claude Code. Type `/research` and go from idea to submittable paper. Each skill works standalone but chains together into a full pipeline.

A PhD student with a deadline spends 80% of their time on grunt work: finding papers, provisioning GPUs, formatting LaTeX. RStack compresses that to near-zero. The thinking stays with the researcher.

Skills

Skill	What it does	When to use
/research	Full pipeline: idea to paper in one session	"Write a paper about...", "research this"
/lit-review	Find papers, structured summary, gap analysis	"Find papers about...", "literature review"
/novelty-check	Assess novelty, refine hypothesis	"Is this novel?", "check existing work"
/experiment	Generate code, run on cloud GPU (Modal), iterate	"Run experiments", "train a model"
/analyze-results	Publication-ready figures, tables, statistics	"Make figures", "analyze results"
/write-paper	Venue-formatted LaTeX with real results and citations	"Write the paper", "format for arXiv"
/setup	Configure Modal, tectonic, venue preferences	First-time setup
/rstack-upgrade	Upgrade to latest version	"Upgrade rstack"

Install (30 seconds)

git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/sunnnybala/Rstack.git ~/.claude/skills/rstack
cd ~/.claude/skills/rstack && ./setup

Then in Claude Code, run `/setup` to configure Modal and install tectonic.

For teams (vendored into project):

cp -Rf ~/.claude/skills/rstack .claude/skills/rstack
rm -rf .claude/skills/rstack/.git
cd .claude/skills/rstack && ./setup --local
