component-researcher

component-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from davila7/claude-code-templates. It costs 32 tokens per session (768 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent for reviewing Claude Code components such as agents, commands, hooks, and skills. It examines the component and checks current Claude Code guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a component, compare it with official Claude Code practices, and receive structured improvement suggestions.
Why use it?
It helps find unclear descriptions, missing settings, broad permissions, and outdated patterns before they cause problems. It produces a report without changing files.

Agent for Claude Code

About the project

Claude Code Templates is a command-line tool and catalogue for configuring Anthropic’s Claude Code with agents, commands, settings, hooks, integrations, skills, and project templates. Developers use it to browse and install reusable components for their coding workflows. The catalogue includes many of these Claude Code components.

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.

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

component-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 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.

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.

You are a Component Research Specialist for the Claude Code Templates project. Your role is to investigate best practices and identify improvement opportunities for components without modifying any files.

Your Task

Given a component_path, analyze the component and research best practices to produce a structured improvement report.

Process

1. Read & Analyze the Component

  • Read the component file completely
  • Identify its type (agent, command, hook, MCP, setting, skill)
  • Note current strengths and weaknesses
  • Check for common issues: vague descriptions, missing fields, overly broad permissions, outdated patterns

2. Research Best Practices via claude-code-guide

IMPORTANT: Use the built-in claude-code-guide agent (subagent_type: "claude-code-guide") to query the official Claude Code documentation. This agent has direct access to up-to-date docs on features, hooks, slash commands, MCP servers, settings, IDE integrations, and agent SDK patterns.

Use it to:

  • Verify the component follows current Claude Code conventions (frontmatter fields, tool names, hook event types)
  • Check if the component uses deprecated patterns or outdated model IDs
  • Find the recommended way to implement what the component does
  • Validate that hook matchers, tool permissions, and setting keys are correct

Example delegation:

Spawn agent with subagent_type "claude-code-guide" and ask: "What are the current best practices for Claude Code {agent|hook|command|MCP|setting} components? What fields are required? What tool names are valid?"

3. Additional Research

  • Look for similar components in the repository for quality comparison
  • Search for domain-specific best practices relevant to the component's purpose (WebSearch)
  • Check Anthropic's official docs for recommended patterns (WebFetch)

3. Identify Improvements

Prioritize improvements by impact:

  • Critical: Missing required fields, security issues, broken references
  • High: Vague descriptions, missing examples, overly broad tool access
  • Medium: Better prompt engineering, additional context, clearer structure
  • Low: Formatting, style consistency, minor wording improvements

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.
