Overview

AI-generated overview

Local research-graph MCP server for organizing hypotheses, goals, runs, source quality, audits and generated maps.

What you can do
  • The manifest lists no tools, so capabilities are known only from the description: maintaining a research graph of hypotheses, goals and runs.
  • Assessing source quality and recording audits.
  • Generating maps from the research graph.
  • The README describes a separate set of agent skills and plugins for product discovery, architecture, delivery planning, implementation, QA, delivery, operations and engineering foundations, but does not document this server's tools.
When to use it
Worth considering when you want an assistant to keep structured research state — hypotheses, goals, runs and source assessments — in one graph rather than scattered notes. The README's skill catalog is about a different product, so check the package itself before relying on it for those workflows.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process installed from the npm package @levnikolaevich/hex-research-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Desktop client only; not available as a web executable.
Before you install
No credentials are requested, but the server writes research data such as hypotheses, runs and audits, so review what it stores and where. The README mostly documents unrelated Claude Code and Codex plugins, so verify the actual tool set and behavior before installing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Hex Research in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Claude-Codex Skills

Open-source standalone agent skills, distributed as plugins for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, help turn product ideas, code fixes, architecture reviews and deployments into scoped work with a verifiable result. Each workflow defines what to check, what it may change, and how to report evidence and remaining gaps.

Install

For a feature or fix, start with implementation-suite. Replace it with another plugin from Choose a route for a different task.

Claude Code:

text
/plugin marketplace add levnikolaevich/claude-code-skills/plugin install implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplace/reload-plugins

Codex:

text
codex plugin marketplace add levnikolaevich/claude-code-skillscodex plugin add implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplace

Invoke a skill by its full name: /implementation-suite:ln-41-surgical-change-implementer in Claude Code or $ln-41-surgical-change-implementer in Codex, followed by your task. For example: “Fix the total calculation when an item has a discount. Preserve the current rounding rules.”

For personal defaults shared by Claude Code and Codex, use the optional user instructions template and connection guide. Personalize and merge it into your existing configuration; plugin installation does not change global instructions.

Lifecycle and plugins

Product Discovery Suite

Decide what is worth building, who it serves, and what a useful first version must do.

IndexSkillPurpose
11Opportunity EvaluatorEvaluates new product opportunities through demand, channels and economics before committing to build.
12Product Requirements BuilderDefines product requirements, business rules and acceptance criteria for a committed intent; edits product docs only.
13Interaction Design BuilderDesigns user flows, interaction states and mockups for a defined product scope; does not implement UI code.

Architecture Suite

Understand the system you have and choose changes with clear boundaries, tradeoffs, and recovery paths.

IndexSkillPurpose
21System Design Baseline BuilderDefines measurable architecture drivers and constraints before system design; edits architecture docs only.
22Current Architecture DocumenterDocuments current architecture from implementation evidence; does not propose a target or audit fitness.
23System Design Proposal BuilderDesigns target system boundaries, contracts and tradeoffs from requirements; does not plan tasks or implement.
24Architecture Decision RecorderRecords one architecture decision with alternatives, consequences and status; does not design the whole system.
25Architecture Diagram BuilderCreates evidence-backed current or target architecture diagrams; not UI design.
26Architecture Migration PlannerPlans architecture migrations with compatibility, data safety, rollout and recovery; does not execute them.

Delivery Planning Suite

Find missing decisions and risky dependencies before they become implementation rework.

IndexSkillPurpose
31Delivery Plan BuilderBuilds dependency-ordered delivery plans from requirements and repository evidence; read-only.
32Test Strategy PlannerPlans risk-based test portfolios and acceptance evidence; does not write or execute tests.
33Plan ReviewerReviews a concrete implementation plan for missing decisions, feasibility and risk before execution; read-only.

Implementation Suite

Fix the cause, reuse what already works, and keep changes focused on a verified outcome.

IndexSkillPurpose
41Surgical Change ImplementerImplements one scoped product feature or fix using existing contracts; not upgrades, performance tuning or establishing cross-cutting technical foundations.
42Dependency UpgraderUpgrades dependencies in reversible batches with version-specific compatibility and regression checks.
43Code ModernizerModernizes a bounded capability to reduce demonstrated maintenance cost; not routine upgrades or performance tuning.
44Performance OptimizerProfiles and improves a measured performance bottleneck; retains only verified improvements.
45Benchmark ComparatorCompares tools or implementations through controlled benchmarks and independent correctness checks.
46Quality Gate EngineerConfigures and verifies lint, type, architecture and other engineering checks; not product cleanup, policy invention or deployment redesign.

Quality Assurance Suite

Find gaps that could break a release, mislead a maintainer, or make a passing test meaningless.

IndexSkillPurpose
51Acceptance Test BuilderBuilds, updates or retires scoped acceptance tests and verifies execution; does not repair product code.
52Delivery ReviewerReviews a completed change for acceptance, regressions and release risk; read-only, not a whole-codebase audit.
53Documentation AuditorAudits documentation and comments for trust, coverage, consistency and freshness; read-only.
54Codebase AuditorAudits cross-cutting codebase health, security and maintainability; not a single-change review or specialist audit.
55Test Suite AuditorAudits existing tests for risk coverage, reliable oracles and maintenance value; does not edit tests.
56Architecture AuditorAudits implemented architecture boundaries, dependencies and ownership; not target design or plan review.
57Persistence AuditorAudits queries, transactions, consistency and persistence resource lifetimes; read-only.

Delivery Suite

Update an installed plugin

For a Git-backed marketplace, refresh the catalog, then update your plugin:

text
claude plugin marketplace update levnikolaevich-skills-marketplaceclaude plugin update implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplace
codex plugin marketplace upgrade levnikolaevich-skills-marketplacecodex plugin add implementation-suite@levnikolaevich-skills-marketplace

For a local-directory marketplace, update its checkout first, then refresh the installed plugin; Codex marketplace upgrade supports Git sources only. Follow Claude's reload/restart instruction and start a new Codex session. Source edits alone do not refresh the installed cache or an existing session.
