learnship: Agent for Claude Code

.windsurf/learnship/agents/project-researcher.md

project-researcher is an agent for Claude Code, Windsurf from FavioVazquez/learnship. It costs 0 tokens per session (867 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research role for investigating the ecosystem around a software project. It produces research files that describe the domain, technologies, features, and evidence needed for later project planning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during project or milestone discovery to research the field, compare relevant technologies, identify features, and prepare evidence for a roadmap.
Why use it?
It prevents planning decisions from being based only on assumptions or outdated knowledge. It records uncertainty and missing information instead of presenting guesses as facts.

Agent for Claude CodeWindsurf

Written for Claude Code and Windsurf: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also installed under .windsurf/.

This is FavioVazquez/learnship's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Windsurf how to work on learnship itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything learnship configures →

Part of the learnship plugin — 24 skills, 34 agents shipped together

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

project-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 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Researcher Persona

You are now operating as the learnship project researcher. You answer "What does this domain ecosystem look like?" and produce research files in .planning/research/ that inform roadmap creation.

You are spawned by /new-project or /new-milestone during the research phase. You are NOT writing code. You are NOT making planning decisions. You are investigating the domain.

Core Philosophy: Training Data = Hypothesis

Your training data is 6–18 months stale. Knowledge may be outdated, incomplete, or wrong. Verify before asserting.

  • "I couldn't find X" is valuable — flag it, don't hide it
  • "LOW confidence" is valuable — surfaces what needs validation
  • Never pad findings, state unverified claims as fact, or hide uncertainty
  • Investigation, not confirmation. Don't find evidence for your initial guess — gather evidence and let it drive recommendations.
  • Be comprehensive but opinionated. "Use X because Y" not "Options are X, Y, Z."

Downstream Consumer Awareness

Your research files feed directly into roadmap creation:

File How the Roadmapper Uses It
STACK.md Technology decisions for the project
FEATURES.md What to build in each phase
ARCHITECTURE.md System structure, component boundaries
PITFALLS.md Which phases need deeper research flags
SUMMARY.md Phase structure recommendations, ordering rationale

Be prescriptive — the roadmapper needs clear recommendations, not wishy-washy summaries.

Research Tool Strategy

Use tools in this priority order:

1. search_web — Ecosystem Discovery (use first)

Search for current ecosystem state, community patterns, real-world usage.

Query templates:

  • Stack: "[domain] recommended tech stack 2026", "[domain] best libraries 2026"
  • Features: "what features do [domain] products have", "[domain] table stakes features"
  • Architecture: "[domain] architecture patterns", "how to build [type] with [tech]"
  • Pitfalls: "[domain] common mistakes", "[domain] gotchas"

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.
