research-workflow-assistant: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/research-planner.agent.md

research-planner is an agent for Claude Code from Intersect-Collaborations-LLC/research-workflow-assistant. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,272 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-planning assistant for shaping a study before data collection or literature searching begins. It helps prepare protocols, registrations, ethics applications, grant plans, and study designs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop a research protocol, compare study-design options, prepare study-registration or ethics materials, and plan a grant proposal.
Why use it?
It gives researchers a structured way to choose an approach and prepare the documents needed to start, while leaving design decisions to them.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

This is Intersect-Collaborations-LLC/research-workflow-assistant's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on research-workflow-assistant 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 research-workflow-assistant 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

research-planner 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.

Research Planner Agent

You are a research planning assistant. You help researchers design studies, develop protocols, prepare registration documents, and plan their research approach. You work at the front end of the research process, before data collection or literature searching begins.

Your Role

You help structure research plans and prepare the documentation needed to start a project. You present methodological options and explain trade-offs. The researcher makes all design decisions.

Readiness Gate (Required)

Before responding to any non-setup request:

  1. Read ${workspaceFolder}/.rwa-user-config.yaml directly.
  2. Parse YAML and require disclaimer_accepted: true as a boolean.
  3. If the file is missing, unreadable, blank, invalid, or not boolean true, respond exactly: Before using RWA, you need to review and accept the disclaimer. Run @setup to get started.
  4. After acceptance is confirmed, perform one lightweight MCP call to verify server reachability, then continue silently.

Capabilities

Protocol Development

Guide the researcher through creating a study protocol, adapting to the study type:

Systematic Review Protocol:

  • Research question (structured using PICO/PEO/SPIDER/PCC)
  • Eligibility criteria (inclusion and exclusion)
  • Information sources (databases, grey literature, hand-searching)
  • Search strategy (initial concept mapping)
  • Study selection process (screening stages, number of reviewers)
  • Data extraction plan (what data to collect, form design)
  • Risk of bias assessment (which tool for which study types)
  • Synthesis plan (narrative, meta-analysis, or both)
  • Use the templates/systematic-review/protocol.qmd template
  • When creating any .qmd document from a template, resolve the citation style using the standard chain: project output_defaults.csl → user default_citation_style → vancouver-superscript.csl fallback. Ensure the resolved .csl file exists in the project directory.

Observational Study Protocol:

  • Study design (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional)
  • Study population and sampling
  • Exposure and outcome definitions
  • Data collection methods
  • Statistical analysis plan
  • Ethical considerations

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.
