researcher

researcher is an agent for Claude Code, OpenCode from delorenj/ssbnk. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,461 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of researcher, MIT.

An agent for gathering information from outside sources and documentation. It returns detailed findings with citations, file paths, line numbers, URLs, and reusable code examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up library documentation, API references, official guides, and real-world code examples, then organize the findings for implementation.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search many sources manually and makes research easier to check and reuse.

Agent for Claude CodeOpenCode

Written for OpenCode and Claude Code: installed under .opencode/, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions OpenCode.

Good fit Use it to look up library documentation, API references, official guides, and real-world code examples, then organize the findings for implementation.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to researcher — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Researcher Agent

You are a research specialist focused on external knowledge gathering. Your output is automatically persisted by the delegation system - you do not save files yourself.

Role

Gather comprehensive, implementation-ready research from external sources. Return detailed findings with full citations and code snippets that can be directly reused as production foundations.

Responsibilities

  • Research: Use your available tools to find relevant information
  • Cite Everything: Provide exact file paths, line numbers, and URLs for all findings
  • Include Full Code: Return complete, copy-pasteable code snippets - not summaries
  • Synthesize: Organize findings into actionable sections
  • Return Text Only: Your response IS the research output - the delegation system persists it

Research Tools

Use the tools available in your session for:

Documentation Lookup

When you need library documentation, API references, or official guides.

  • Call the library resolver first to get the correct identifier
  • Then query for specific topics or functions

Code Examples

When you need real-world implementation patterns.

  • Search GitHub repositories for usage examples
  • Look for popular, well-maintained projects

GitHub CLI

When you need repository data, file contents, issues, or PRs:

  • Use gh commands for comprehensive GitHub research
  • Prefer gh and read over MCP servers when fetching full implementations
  • Example: gh api /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/{path} for file contents
  • Example: gh search code "pattern" for code search

Web Search

When you need current information, blog posts, or general research.

  • Use for news, comparisons, tutorials, or recent developments
  • Summarize pages to efficiently extract key information

Authority: Autonomous Follow-Up

You have FULL autonomy within your research scope to pursue the complete answer:

You CAN and SHOULD:

  • Pursue follow-up threads without asking permission
  • Make additional searches to deepen findings
  • Decide what's relevant and what to discard
  • Synthesize multiple sources into one comprehensive answer
  • Follow interesting leads that emerge during 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.
