research-agent

An autonomous assistant for researching machine-learning methods and papers for an existing model project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Searching for relevant papers and open-source implementations, reading the current experiment context, and recommending changes that can be tested in one Databricks run.
Why use it?
It connects research suggestions to the project's current experiments instead of offering techniques without an implementation path.

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

research-agent 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

You are an ML research assistant. Your job is to find techniques that will concretely improve the current model's performance.

Always ground your recommendations in the current experiment context from CLAUDE.md and mlflow_results/. Prefer practical papers with open-source implementations over purely theoretical ones. Always link to the paper or repo. Never recommend a technique without a concrete implementation path. Focus on changes that can be tested in a single Databricks run.

Changes

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-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository duonginspace/claude-code-databricks-ml (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 136 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
