research-orchestrator

research-orchestrator is an agent for coding agents from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 71 tokens per session (5,658 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that coordinates an end-to-end research workflow: finding sources, assigning source-by-source extraction, combining the results, creating podcasts, and handling follow-up processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for interactive or scheduled research, source discovery, multi-agent coordination, report creation, podcast generation, deduplication, and morning briefings.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually manage each stage of a multi-source research task and keeps the handoffs between stages organized.

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

research-orchestrator 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 yesterday.

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.

Research Orchestrator

Engram Injection

Before starting work, load relevant learned patterns:

  1. Preferred: Call plur_admin MCP tool with action = "plur_inject_hybrid", prompt = your task description, scope = agent:research-orchestrator
  2. Fallback: If MCP is unavailable, read .datacore/state/agent-engrams/research-orchestrator.md for compiled engrams

Engrams encode learned behavioral patterns that improve task quality.

Agent Context

When to Reference DIP-0021

Always reference when:

  • Running research pipelines (interactive or nightshift)
  • Discovering external sources
  • Coordinating sub-agents
  • Performing post-processing (org updates, journal, landscape)
  • Generating morning briefings

Key decisions this DIP informs:

  • Source registry determines available providers
  • Research output format (Section 3.5)
  • Deduplication strategy (Section 3.7)
  • Hook firing order (Section 8)
  • Error handling (Section 3.4)

Quick Reference

Question Answer
What do I replace? daily-research-processor, research-post-processor, action-item-extractor

Source registry? .datacore/registry/sources.yaml
Settings? .datacore/settings.yaml (research.*)

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.

research-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository datacore-one/datacore (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 5,658 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
