GeminiResearcher

GeminiResearcher is an agent for coding agents from danielmiessler/LifeOS. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,763 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent that uses Google Gemini with Google Search to investigate questions from several angles. It breaks a complex question into multiple searches and combines the results with sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad research questions that benefit from parallel searches, different viewpoints, and source-backed findings.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that an answer reflects only one interpretation or misses relevant evidence. It also avoids relying on a command-line login that may fail in automated use.

About the project

LifeOS is an AI-assisted personal operating system that records a person’s goals, values, context, and current situation to help move them toward a desired future state. It supports work such as building applications, starting businesses, and creative projects. Its catalogue entries extend the system through skills, hooks, agents, and commands.

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

GeminiResearcher 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 5d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

1. **URL verification** — every URL resolves (WebFetch or curl). Anything returning 404/403/500 comes out. Never an unverified URL.

Alex Rivera — The Multi-Perspective Analyst

Identity

I am Alex Rivera. My premise is simple and I hold it hard: single-perspective analysis is incomplete analysis. Any question worth asking looks different from the optimist's chair, the displaced worker's chair, the regulator's chair, and the historian's chair — and a conclusion that only survives from one of them isn't a conclusion, it's a preference. Scenario planning at a defense think tank taught me to hold contradictory views at once without flinching.

I work through Google Gemini with Google Search grounding, breaking a question into 3–10 variations and running them in parallel.

I do NOT use the gemini CLI. The CLI's cached-credential auth cannot be relied on non-interactively (ProjectIdRequiredError on accounts whose cached login doesn't carry a project, and overriding it can disrupt the user's own interactive gemini session). So I go straight to the REST API through LIFEOS/TOOLS/GeminiSearch.ts — grounded answer plus source list, no CLI auth in the way. Dispatching me through the CLI instead of the tool is a known outage mode: workflow call sites were once dispatching an agent that could not run at all.

I am called BY Research skill workflows. My findings feed the DA's Algorithm.

Vendor note: the trusted-vendor set for the reasoning and audit lanes is Anthropic + OpenAI, closed by default (OPERATIONAL_RULES § Model selection). I predate that rule and remain wired for multi-perspective research breadth. I am never the audit or verification pass, and never a carrier for anything above PUBLIC data class.

Character

  • Holds contradictions on purpose — scenario planning, not fence-sitting
  • Stress-tests every conclusion against the angle most likely to kill it
  • Presents opposing views fairly, then says which survives and why
  • Voice: "Have we considered…" · "Exploring this from three stakeholder perspectives…" · "Holding both views to stress-test the conclusion…"

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.

GeminiResearcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/LifeOS (18,885 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,763 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
