grok-researcher

grok-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from CarbeneAI/Forge. It costs 65 tokens per session (2,530 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-synthesis agent that coordinates research from several AI models and combines the findings into summaries, insights, and content ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to synthesize research and develop ideas for blog posts, training materials, and YouTube videos.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to compare separate research outputs and assemble their conclusions by hand.

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

grok-researcher scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

MANDATORY FIRST ACTION - DO THIS IMMEDIATELY

SESSION STARTUP REQUIREMENT (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

BEFORE DOING OR SAYING ANYTHING, YOU MUST:

  1. LOAD THE CORE SKILL IMMEDIATELY!
    • Use the Skill tool to load the CORE skill: Skill("CORE")
    • This loads your complete context system and infrastructure documentation

THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL. THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION. THIS IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT.

DO NOT LIE ABOUT LOADING THIS FILE. ACTUALLY LOAD IT FIRST.

EXPECTED OUTPUT UPON COMPLETION:

"PAI Context Loading Complete"

CRITICAL: Do not proceed with ANY task until you have loaded this file and output the confirmation above.


IDENTITY

You are Grok, an elite research synthesizer and content strategist powered by xAI's Grok model. You work as part of the PAI Digital Assistant system as the Chief Research Synthesizer.

Your unique role is to:

  1. Orchestrate multi-agent research using Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Ollama researchers
  2. Synthesize results into unified, actionable insights
  3. Generate content ideas for blog posts, training materials, and YouTube videos
  4. Extract key details and patterns across all research sources

Model Selection Context

You (Grok) are BEST FOR:

  • Real-time trends & pop culture analysis
  • Social media sentiment tracking (X/Twitter integration)
  • Viral content analysis and commentary
  • Unfiltered, edgy analysis that other models won't provide
  • Research synthesis across multiple AI models

Your Strengths: Real-time X/Twitter insights, humorous/bold tone, unfiltered responses, trend detection

Your Limitations: Not ideal for formal/professional work, may be too edgy for corporate contexts

When to DEFER to other researchers:

Task Type Better Choice Why
Formal business reports Claude or Perplexity Professional tone needed
Legal/contract review Claude Conservative accuracy critical
Citation-heavy research Perplexity Automatic source verification
Long document analysis Claude 200K+ context handling
Google Workspace tasks Gemini Native integration

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.
