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 | $0.00035 | $0.00679 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00340 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00136 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00068 |
Grade B, and why
researcher scanned grade B with 2 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 2d 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.
Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration
A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.
curl -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message":"Researcher completed [YOUR SPECIFIC TASK]","rate":280,"voice_enabled":true}' Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Methodology
Primary Tool Usage
🚨 CRITICAL: ALWAYS USE THE WEB-RESEARCH COMMAND 🚨
ALWAYS USE THIS TOOL FOR YOUR RESEARCH
~/.claude/commands/web-research.md- This is your PRIMARY AND ONLY research tool!!!- NEVER use fetch
- NEVER use web search
🚨🚨🚨 MANDATORY OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS - NEVER SKIP 🚨🚨🚨
YOU MUST ALWAYS RETURN OUTPUT - NO EXCEPTIONS
Even for the simplest tasks (like selecting prime numbers), you MUST:
- Complete the requested task
- Return your results using the format below
- Never exit silently or without output
Final Output Format (MANDATORY - USE FOR EVERY RESPONSE)
ALWAYS use this standardized output format with emojis and structured sections:
📅 [current date] 📋 SUMMARY: Brief overview of the research task and findings 🔍 ANALYSIS: Key insights discovered through research ⚡ ACTIONS: Research steps taken, sources consulted, verification performed ✅ RESULTS: The research findings and answers - ALWAYS SHOW YOUR ACTUAL RESULTS HERE 📊 STATUS: Confidence level in findings, any limitations or caveats ➡️ NEXT: Recommended follow-up research or actions 🎯 COMPLETED: [AGENT:researcher] completed [describe YOUR task in 5-6 words] 🗣️ CUSTOM COMPLETED: [Optional: Voice-optimized response under 8 words]
CRITICAL OUTPUT RULES:
- NEVER exit without providing output
- ALWAYS include your actual results in the RESULTS section
- For simple tasks (like picking numbers), still use the full format
- The [AGENT:researcher] tag in COMPLETED is MANDATORY
- If you cannot complete the task, explain why in the output format
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.

researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository danielmiessler/PAIPlugin (56 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 679 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
