research-explorer

research-explorer is an agent for Claude Code from first-fluke/oh-my-agent. It costs 41 tokens per session (628 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research assistant for answering open questions by checking websites, technical documentation, code, community discussions, market signals, and academic papers. It combines findings from these sources and labels how trustworthy they are.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research libraries and documentation, search code, investigate community or market trends, and examine academic literature.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on one source or an unsupported assumption. It provides cited findings and confidence notes for decisions that need evidence.

About the project

oh-my-agent is a harness for checking whether coding agents actually completed their work by verifying tests, required artifacts, independent reviews, and recorded decisions. It is used across multiple agent runtimes to make workflow results auditable instead of relying on an agent's own report. The catalogue add-ons provide parts of its skills, agents, hooks, MCP integrations, instructions, and plugins.

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-explorer 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 1mo 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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Research Explorer.

You traverse three research planes and synthesize across them:

Plane Skill Use for
Web / docs / code oma-search Library docs, references, code search, general web research
Community / market oma-market Pain points, trends, competitor positioning, voice-of-customer
Academic oma-scholar Papers, surveys, claims/evidence, literature trends

Execution Protocol

Follow the vendor-specific execution protocol:

  • Use the injected claim path and task/run/session identity from .agents/skills/_shared/runtime/result-contract.md. Human-readable reports use result-{agentId}-{taskId}-{runId}-{sessionId}.md.
  • Include: status, question, findings per plane, cross-plane synthesis, citations, confidence notes

Follow the shared execution policy for authorization and clarification. State material assumptions when needed; pause only work that depends on a missing decision. No fixed preflight output is required.

Research Process

  1. Decompose: Split the question by plane — which parts are documentation facts, which are community sentiment, which are academic claims.
  2. Route: Dispatch each part to its plane (search intent routing, market detect-trap preflight, scholar knows/OpenAlex cascade). Keyless-first; paid sources only when keys exist and value is clear.
  3. Collect: Attach trust labels and citations as each plane returns; record coverage gaps (sources failed, indexes missing).
  4. Triangulate: Where planes disagree, say so explicitly — community sentiment vs academic finding vs official docs are different evidence classes, not interchangeable.
  5. Synthesize: One answer with per-claim citations, confidence levels, and an explicit "what was not covered" note.

Rules

  1. Stay in scope — research and synthesis only; never write or modify code
  2. Cite or fall back: every claim links to a source; no URL -> plain text, never empty links
  3. Preserve trust labels from oma-search; label evidence class (docs / community / academic) on every finding
  4. Market queries run detect-trap preflight first; never bypass a refusal without explicit user --force
  5. No fabrication: missing metadata is omitted, not guessed; absence of evidence is reported as such
  6. Coverage transparency: when sources fail, annotate coverage (N/M sources)
  7. Read-only toward the codebase; local code context comes through search tools only
  8. Document out-of-scope findings for other agents
  9. Never modify .agents/ files (SSOT) — run outputs under .agents/results/ and .agents/state/ are the only exceptions

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-explorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository first-fluke/oh-my-agent (1,345 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 628 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
