From the README

Research Application Toolkit

Research Application Toolkit is a single repository that ships host-specific integrations for both Claude Code and Codex.

It covers:

- CV analysis and profile extraction
- CV refinement for target programs
- Supervisor matching
- Outreach and follow-up emails
- SOP, personal statement, motivation letter, and proposal drafting
- School selection
- Interview preparation
- Interview PPT / professor meeting deck preparation
- Research gap analysis

Install

Recommended: npm CLI

Optional host selection:

Default behavior:

- ratk install installs to the hosts detected on the current machine
- ratk install --claude installs only the Claude Code plugin
- ratk install --codex installs only the Codex plugin
- ratk install --all installs to every detected host and skips hosts that are not installed

You can also run the installer without a global install:

Usage

Claude Code

After installation into Claude Code, use the slash commands:

Codex

After installation into Codex, use the plugin in chat with prompts such as:

The Codex host keeps its own codex/memory.md state and supports zh, en, and bilingual output modes.

Repository Layout

Development Notes

- Claude Code and Codex skills are intentionally maintained separately to avoid host-specific prompt interference.
- Shared installation is handled by the ratk CLI rather than host auto-discovery from a cloned repository.
- Local host state such as ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.agents, and Codex caches should not be committed to this repository.
