Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent. ## About Research Japanese NLP trends for topic: "$ARGUMENTS" by combining the bundled dataset with the latest web information. ## Instructions ### Preamble — Establish the current date Before doing anything else, run this once and remember the values — every subsequent step that mentions a year, month, or report date refers to them: ```bash echo "YEAR_NOW=$(date +%Y)" echo "YEAR_PREV=$(($(date +%Y) - 1))" echo "REPORT_DATE_EN=$(LC_TIME=C date '+%B %Y')" echo "REPORT_DATE_JP=$(date '+%Y年%-m月')" ``` Substitute these values everywhere this skill writes `${YEAR_NOW}`, `${YEAR_PREV}`, `${REPORT_DATE_EN}`, or `${REPORT_DATE_JP}` below. **Do not hardcode dates** — the skill must always reflect the current month. ### Step 0 — Handle empty input If `$ARGUMENTS` is empty or blank, treat it as a request for a **general overview of current Japanese NLP trends**. Use the following defaults for the rest of the steps: - **Topic label** for output headings: "Japanese NLP Overall Trends" (use "日本語NLP 全体トレンド" only when the user's query was written in Japanese) - **Keywords for Step 1** (local dataset survey): `japanese nlp`, `llm`, `bert`, `embed`, `speech`, `morpholog`, `translat` — These broad keywords give a cross-category snapshot of the most popular resources - **WebSearch queries for Step 5**: cover multiple active sub-fields rather than one topic: - `japanese NLP trends ${YEAR_NOW} overview` - `日本語 NLP 最新動向 ${YEAR_NOW}` - `japanese LLM embedding benchmark ${YEAR_NOW} github` - `日本語 自然言語処理 注目 モデル ${YEAR_NOW}` - `huggingface japanese models trending ${YEAR_NOW}` - **Report title**: `## 📊 Japanese NLP Trend Report (as of ${REPORT_DATE_EN})` instead of `## 📊 Trend Report for "$ARGUMENTS"` (use `## 📊 日本語NLP 全体トレンドレポート (${REPORT_DATE_JP}時点)` only when output language is Japanese) - **Section 1 (Overview)**: write a broad 3–4 sentence overview covering the major active sub-fields (LLMs, embeddings/RAG, speech, morphological analysis, benchmarks) Then continue normally from Step 1 using the above defaults. ### Step 1 — Interpret the topic The user's topic is: "$ARGUMENTS" Generate **two keyword sets**: 1. **English stem keywords (4–6)** for searching the local dataset (descriptions are mostly English). Use stems like `morpholog`, `embed`, `classif`, `translat`, `generat`, `recogni`, etc. Add well-known Japanese-specific tool/model names where applicable: `mecab`, `sudachi`, `ginza`, `bert`, `gpt`, `llama`, `swallow`, `elyza`, `rinna`, `calm`, `ruri`, `whisper`, `voicevox`, `manga-ocr`, `jglue`, `llm-jp-eval`, etc. 2. **Web search phrases (3–5)** mixing English and Japanese for the latest information. ### Step 2 — Locate the data file The data file ships with the plugin. Resolve its path via `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` (Claude Code substitutes this inline in skill content), falling back to a scoped search only if the install is unusual: ```bash RESOURCES_PATH="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/resources.json" [ -f "$RESOURCES_PATH" ] || RESOURCES_PATH="$(find "${HOME}/.claude/plugins" -type f -name resources.json 2>/dev/null | grep "awesome-japanese-nlp-resources/" | head -1)" echo "RESOURCES_PATH=$RESOURCES_PATH" ``` Save the resulting absolute path as `RESOURCES_PATH`. ### Step 3 — Survey existing resources (inline scoring) **Do NOT use the Read tool** on `resources.json` — it exceeds the read limit. Run this Python block in Bash, substituting `RESOURCES_PATH` and your English stem keywords: ```python python3 3 years ago)**? - Is there an apparent **gap** (e.g., no recent multimodal models, no public benchmarks)? Use these angles to shape Step 5's queries. ### Step 5 — Web research Use **WebSearch + WebFetch only — do not use the `gh` CLI in this project.** Run **4–6 WebSearch queries**. Always include `${YEAR_NOW}` (and optionally `${YEAR_PREV}`) to bias toward recency. Mix English and Japanese: - `Japanese NLP ${YEAR_NOW}` - `日本語 最新 モデル ${YEAR_NOW}` - `arxiv japanese ${YEAR_PREV} ${YEAR_NOW}` - `huggingface japanese new release` - ` github trending japanese ${YEAR_NOW}` - Optional domain-specific: ` jp benchmark ${YEAR_NOW}`, `日本語 評価` When a specific high-value URL surfaces (e.g. an arXiv abstract, a HuggingFace model card, a blog post announcing a release), use **WebFetch** to extract details: ``` WebFetch url="https://..." prompt="Extract: release date, model/library name, key contribution, GitHub/HuggingFace URL if any, parameter count or dataset size if applicable." ``` Limit WebFetch to **at most 3 calls** to keep latency in check. ### Step 6 — Cross-reference and synthesize Combine signals: 1. **Web items already in the dataset** — confirm the survey's top items remain relevant; note if anything new dethrones them. 2. **Web items NOT in the dataset** — these are candidates the user could also surface via `/awesome-japanese-nlp-resources:find-new-resources "$ARGUMENTS"`; mention this in section 4 of the output. 3. **Directional signals** — write 2–4 specific observations about *where the field is heading*. Examples: - "Parameter-count growth: 1B → 7B → 70B for Japanese LLMs since 2024" - "Shift from encoder-only (BERT) to decoder-only (LLaMA-derived) base models" - "Embedding models specialized for RAG dominate 2025–2026 releases (Ruri-v3, GLuCoSE)" - "Multimodal Japanese models (image+text) are emerging but still rare" 4. **Gaps** — what's missing from the existing list that the web shows exists? ### Step 7 — Format the trend report **Language detection rule (apply before writing any output):** - `$ARGUMENTS` is empty → **English** - `$ARGUMENTS` contains Japanese characters (hiragana / katakana / kanji) → **Japanese** - Otherwise → **English** Apply the detected language to all headings and prose. **English output template (default):** ``` ## 📊 Trend Report for "$ARGUMENTS" (as of ${REPORT_DATE_EN}) ### 1.

The report should be **scannable**, not exhaustive. - Each line in section 3 must include a **date** (or year-month) and a **URL**. No undated rumors. - Section 4 must include at least one *directional signal* and at least one *gap* (or explicitly note "no obvious gaps"). - The `Sources:` block at the very end is **mandatory** — WebSearch results require it. ### Step 8 — Edge cases - **No existing results** (Step 3 returns empty): Skip section 2's table; in section 2 write "既存リストにこのトピックの直接的なリソースは見つかりませんでした。" Then make section 3 + 4 the focus. - **No recent web results**: Note in section 3 that the field is quiet — that's itself a signal. - **Topic is too broad** (e.g. just "NLP"): Suggest in section 4 a narrower sub-topic to re-query. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [taishi-i](https://github.com/taishi-i) - **Source:** [taishi-i/awesome-japanese-nlp-resources](https://github.com/taishi-i/awesome-japanese-nlp-resources) - **License:** CC0-1.0 - **Homepage:** https://taishi-i.github.io/awesome-japanese-nlp-resources/ Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-taishi-i-awesome-japanese-nlp-resources-research-trends - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/taishi-i - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
