Prefer an active alternative unless you maintain a private fork or need a frozen dependency. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use academic-research-skills - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between coder_reviewer_reranking and academic-research-skills? coder_reviewer_reranking: Official code release for the paper Coder Reviewer Reranking for Code Generation.. academic-research-skills: Academic Research Skills for Claude Code: research → write → review → revise → finalize.
