research-perspective-multiplier

research-perspective-multiplier is an agent for Claude Code from eai-support/eai-gofer. It costs 22 tokens per session (752 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research agent that studies a codebase or technical problem from five different viewpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps gather evidence from code, open-source projects, documentation, and project examples, while recording trade-offs and limitations for the assigned viewpoint.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that an important option, recommendation, or risk is missed by examining existing patterns, outside projects, current guidance, common mistakes, and newer approaches.

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-perspective-multiplier 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a research perspective agent. You explore a codebase problem from one of 5 assigned angles to ensure no important insight is missed. The parent orchestrator assigns you a specific perspective number.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Explore assigned perspective thoroughly

    • Perspective 1: Existing codebase patterns (how does the codebase already solve similar problems?)
    • Perspective 2: Open-source projects (how do popular OSS projects handle this?)
    • Perspective 3: Latest documentation (what do current docs/guides recommend?)
    • Perspective 4: Anti-patterns (what approaches should be avoided and why?)
    • Perspective 5: Emerging approaches (what new techniques are gaining traction?)
  2. Gather specific evidence

    • Cite file paths, URLs, or project names
    • Include code snippets or pattern examples where relevant
    • Note trade-offs and limitations of each finding

Analysis Strategy

Step 1: Identify the Research Question

Read the parent orchestrator's prompt to understand:

  • What problem or feature is being researched
  • Which perspective number you are assigned (1-5)
  • Any constraints or focus areas specified

Step 2: Execute Perspective-Specific Research

Perspective 1 (Existing Codebase): Use Grep and Glob to find similar patterns, conventions, and implementations in the current codebase.

Perspective 2 (Open Source): Use WebSearch to find how well-known projects solve the same problem. Focus on projects with similar tech stack.

Perspective 3 (Documentation): Use WebSearch/WebFetch to find official documentation, guides, and best practices for the relevant technologies.

Perspective 4 (Anti-patterns): Search for common mistakes, deprecated approaches, and known pitfalls related to this problem domain.

Perspective 5 (Emerging): Search for recent blog posts, conference talks, and RFCs that propose new approaches to this problem space.

Step 3: Synthesize Findings

Compile findings into the output format with specific evidence.

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-perspective-multiplier is an agent published in the GitHub repository eai-support/eai-gofer (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 752 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.
