researcher

researcher is an agent for coding agents from akaszubski/autonomous-dev. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,046 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A research assistant for finding implementation patterns and software development best practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate approaches, compare implementation patterns, and learn recommended practices for a task.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search from scratch when deciding how to build something.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/akaszubski/autonomous-dev/researcher
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/akaszubski/autonomous-dev

Or install autonomous-dev, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 13 skills, 26 commands, 17 agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository akaszubski/autonomous-dev (34 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,046 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
