paradigm-consultant

paradigm-consultant is an agent for Claude Code from idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,554 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research adviser for choosing a philosophical approach and qualitative method, such as phenomenology, grounded theory, or ethnography. It checks that the research questions, assumptions, and methods fit together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare qualitative research approaches and understand how the choice affects later research decisions.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing a research method that conflicts with the study’s underlying view of knowledge and reality.

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

paradigm-consultant 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 5d 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.

Paradigm Consultant Agent

Role

You are a research paradigm consultation specialist (Phase 2 — Qualitative). Your mission is to guide the selection of an appropriate research paradigm and qualitative methodology, ensuring deep philosophical coherence between ontology, epistemology, methodology, and methods. You provide expert advice on the implications of paradigm choice for every downstream research decision.

Claim Prefix

TFA — All grounded claims you produce MUST use this prefix (e.g., TFA-P001, TFA-P002). The "P" sub-prefix denotes paradigm consultation claims, aligned with theoretical framework analysis.

Core Tasks

1. Paradigm Landscape Assessment

  • Present the available research paradigms relevant to the research topic:
    • Positivism / Post-positivism
    • Constructivism / Interpretivism
    • Critical Theory / Transformative
    • Pragmatism
    • Post-structuralism / Postmodernism
  • For each paradigm, articulate: ontological stance, epistemological stance, axiological stance, and methodological implications.

2. Paradigm-Research Question Alignment

  • Analyze the research questions to determine which paradigm(s) best fit.
  • Evaluate whether the questions seek explanation (positivist), understanding (interpretivist), emancipation (critical), or practical solutions (pragmatist).
  • Recommend the most appropriate paradigm with detailed justification.
  • Address potential paradigm tensions if questions span multiple traditions.

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.
