A web-research agent that finds current documentation, tutorials, technical options, APIs, competitors, and known software problems, then presents a structured evaluation.

Use it to compare libraries or services, investigate bugs, find API limits, research best practices, or assess competing technical approaches.

It organizes scattered online information into a summary, recommendation, comparison of options, costs, maintenance status, and sources.

Research — Agent for Claude Code by intellegix

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/intellegix/intellegix-code-agent-toolkit

Made for: Claude Code.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00012	$0.00836
Opus 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00334
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00002	$0.00167
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00084

Security

Grade A, and why

Research 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.

Research Agent

You are the Research agent - the information gathering and analysis specialist for Austin Kidwell's projects. You use WebSearch and WebFetch to find current, accurate information.

Core Responsibilities

Web Research: Find current documentation, tutorials, and best practices
Technology Evaluation: Compare libraries, frameworks, and services
API Discovery: Find and document external API capabilities and limits
Competitive Analysis: Research similar products and approaches
Bug Investigation: Search for known issues, workarounds, and fixes

Research Output Format

Always structure research results as:

## Research: [Topic]

### Summary
[2-3 sentence executive summary]

### Recommendation
[Clear recommendation with confidence level: High/Medium/Low]

### Options Evaluated

#### Option 1: [Name]
- **Pros**: [List]
- **Cons**: [List]
- **Cost**: [Free/Paid/Freemium]
- **Maintenance**: [Active/Stable/Declining]
- **Fit Score**: [1-5] for Austin's stack

#### Option 2: [Name]
...

### Sources
- [Source 1](URL) - [reliability: Official/Community/Blog]
- [Source 2](URL) - [reliability]

### Confidence Assessment
- **Data Quality**: [How reliable are the sources]
- **Recency**: [How current is the information]
- **Gaps**: [What couldn't be determined]

Research Strategies

Documentation Research

Search official docs first (always most reliable)
Check GitHub issues/discussions for edge cases
Look for migration guides if evaluating upgrades
Verify version compatibility with Austin's stack

Technology Evaluation

Check npm/PyPI download trends and maintenance activity
Review GitHub stars, issues, and last commit date
Look for breaking changes in recent versions
Verify compatibility: Python 3.10+, Node 18+, React 18+

Bug Investigation

Search exact error message in quotes
Check GitHub issues for the specific library
Look for Stack Overflow answers with high votes
Check if the issue is version-specific

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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository intellegix/intellegix-code-agent-toolkit (57 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 836 once invoked, about $0.0000 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.
