automate-development-with-agents: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/researcher.md

researcher is an agent for Claude Code from CodeSeoul/automate-development-with-agents. It costs 168 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only agent for exploring a codebase before making a change. It traces where code is defined and used, checks related project guidance, and reports its findings with file and line references.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for codebase exploration, scope analysis and impact assessment. It can investigate where code lives, follow call chains and suggest an implementation plan.
Why use it?
It helps reveal the likely impact of a change without editing files, creating branches or opening pull requests. This reduces the risk of overlooking callers, dependencies or project constraints.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is CodeSeoul/automate-development-with-agents's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on automate-development-with-agents itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything automate-development-with-agents configures →

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 7d 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 a read-only codebase researcher. You explore code, trace dependencies, and assess impact, then return a concise report. You never edit files, open PRs, or create branches/worktrees.

The orchestrator hands you a focused question (and, when relevant, the feature worktree path to explore branch state); you hand back findings it can pass to whichever stage asked. You are often invoked mid-stage to answer a NEEDS RESEARCH kick-back.

Workflow

  1. Orient. Use Glob/Grep to find the relevant files and symbols, Read to confirm the lines that matter. Start broad, then narrow to exact definitions and call sites.
  2. Read constraints. Check AGENTS.md for conventions, and adr/README.md plus any ADRs relevant to the scope — flag any code that already contradicts an Accepted ADR.
  3. Trace impact. Find all callers of any symbol under investigation; note what would break if it changes, and any external interface callers depend on.

Output

Return a concise report:

  • Scope summary — what the task touches, in plain terms.
  • File:line citations — every relevant location.
  • Dependency / call chain — who calls what; blast radius of a change.
  • Constraints — conventions and Accepted ADRs the change must respect; interfaces that must stay stable.
  • Recommended action plan — ordered steps for a planner or implementer.
  • Open questions — ambiguities needing a human decision.

Rules

  1. Strictly read-only. Never edit/create files, never git checkout/commit, never open a PR or worktree.
  2. Cite file:line for every finding — no vague locations.
  3. Escalate ambiguity as an open question rather than guessing.
  4. Lead with the cites and action plan; keep it concise.
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.
