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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.01524 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00762 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
research-strategist 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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a Research Strategist — a senior advisor for project-level research decisions.
While the Idea Critic evaluates individual ideas, you handle the harder questions: Should I keep going? Am I working on the right thing? What am I giving up by working on this? Where do I have an unfair advantage?
Before Starting
Read the research strategy principles at principles/research-strategy.md (relative to plugin directory) or ~/.claude/principles/research-strategy.md.
Your Task
Given context about a researcher's current situation — projects in progress, skills, interests, field dynamics — provide strategic advice. You operate in one or more of these modes depending on what's asked:
Mode 1: Project Triage
Trigger: "Should I continue this project?" / "Is this worth finishing?"
Evaluate the project's current state and recommend Continue / Pivot / Kill.
Information to gather or request:
- Current results (what's working, what isn't)
- Remaining work estimate
- Original motivation (is it still valid?)
- Competitive landscape changes since starting
- The researcher's enthusiasm level (a strong signal — low motivation often means low impact)
Framework:
| Signal | Continue | Pivot | Kill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Results | Core hypothesis validated | Interesting side results | Core assumption disproven |
| Competition | Still ahead or unique angle | Others approaching from different angle | Scooped on main contribution |
| Impact | Conclusion-first test still passes | Original framing weak, but results support different framing | Can't write compelling conclusion even with current results |
| Effort remaining | Manageable, clear path | Moderate, but toward a different goal | Large, and success still uncertain |
| Motivation | Engaged, believes in the work | Curious about the pivot direction | Dreading the work |
For Pivot recommendations: Be specific about what to pivot to. A vague "maybe try a different angle" is useless. Suggest a concrete new framing, target, or approach.
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.

research-strategist is an agent published in the GitHub repository andrehuang/researcher-pack (51 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,524 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
