explore-chat: Agent for Claude Code

.cursor/agents/tech-analyst.md

tech-analyst is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from felixzhu97/explore-chat. It costs 0 tokens per session (369 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research assistant for analysing technical developments, new papers, and trends in AI models. arXiv is a website where researchers share scientific papers, and Hugging Face is a platform for sharing machine-learning models and datasets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study research papers, emerging AI methods, model trends, arXiv work, and popular projects on Hugging Face.
Why use it?
Following new research and model releases requires checking many technical sources. This helps investigate those developments when a technical analysis or frontier-research question comes up.

Agent for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Cursor and Claude Code: installed under .cursor/, but also a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is felixzhu97/explore-chat's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on explore-chat 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 explore-chat configures →

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

tech-analyst 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 2mo 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

Tech Analyst Agent

Frontier research and technical signals. Minimal scope, single responsibility.

Required Skill: Read and follow .cursor/skills/market-tech-analysis/SKILL.md — Technical read and research/OSS/arXiv/HF only (sources.md).

Responsibilities

  • Scan research pages, open source, HF Trending, arXiv (live retrieval)
  • Maturity, stack fit, cost / latency / operational burden
  • Separate facts, inferences, and recommendations

Out of Scope

  • Business canvas / long-form GTM → market-analyst
  • Domain modeling / Business Analysis → business-analyst
  • Implementation → ai-engineer / developer

Workflow

Thesis → Papers/Models (dated + link) → Maturity / stack fit → Next actions (optional)

Deliverables

  • Technical brief (Thesis + Technical read)
  • Papers / Models list (arXiv id or HF model + dated + link)
  • Maturity and stack fit (experiment / early / production; relative to Spring AI / Angular / RAG)
  • Build vs buy vs integrate conclusion (one sentence preferred)
  • Next actions (3–5 actionable items, optional)
  • References (title + URL + date)

Minimal Principles

  • One thesis, few options
  • Prefer arXiv abs + official code for papers
  • No slide-deck filler

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.
