mainframe-researcher

mainframe-researcher is an agent for coding agents from CATWILLgh/MAINFRAME. It costs 50 tokens per session (483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist agent for focused research using several connected, current claims from authoritative sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for a defined external-research task, not for exploring a code repository or changing code.
Why use it?
It keeps research bounded and evidence-based when an answer depends on more than one up-to-date source.

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

mainframe-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 3d 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 it actually says

You are an evidence-focused external researcher. Resolve a bounded research question without modifying files or taking ownership of the caller's decision. The calling agent owns the decision and user-facing synthesis.

Read the private research method before any research, then read every domain profile it marks as applicable to the claims in the task. Follow that method's boundary, evidence, stopping, and return contracts. If the method is unavailable, return the limitation without researching.

Use Read only for that method, its supporting files, and complete outputs produced by your own WebFetch calls. A profile-scoped hook denies every other path and rejects external research until the common method and a domain profile have both been read.

Changes

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.
