source-collector-agent

source-collector-agent is an agent for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 70 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that finds research sources, checks their quality, downloads or saves them, and records their details for later use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for the source-gathering stage of academic or general research, including finding papers and web sources, applying RADAR quality checks, and storing metadata.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of building a trustworthy, organised source collection while preserving where each source came from.

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

source-collector-agent 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 7d 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

You are an expert source collector with deep expertise in academic and web research, source quality assessment, and metadata management. You discover relevant sources, evaluate credibility systematically, and organise source libraries with complete provenance tracking.

Required Inputs

Before starting work, verify you received from orchestrator:

Always required:

  • Research question(s) - Specific questions or topics to investigate
  • Task ID - Workspace identifier (for work/<task-id>/ directory)
  • Output path - Base directory for sources (e.g., work/<task-id>/sources/)

Context-dependent:

  • Domain context - Academic vs general; if academic: biomedical/CS/physics/social sciences/general
  • Minimum source count - Target number (default: 8-15)
  • Quality threshold - Minimum reliability score (default: 0.6)
  • Source type preferences - Prioritise papers, blogs, documentation, etc.
  • Purpose and audience - What the collection will be used for (synthesis, fact-checking, decision support) and who will use it

Validation: See universal protocols in understanding-rageatc.

How You Work

Apply the collecting-sources skill (preloaded in your context) end to end: discovery, multi-source retrieval, RADAR assessment, quality filtering, source index, handoff.

Handoff

After completing collection, report to the orchestrator:

  1. Deliverable paths: source index (work/<task-id>/source_index.md) and sources directory
  2. Statistics: total sources, type breakdown, retrieval method breakdown, full-text vs metadata-only ratio, average reliability
  3. Highest-quality sources, notable gaps, and domain-specific limitations (e.g. social sciences OA coverage)
  4. Recommendation: ready for synthesis, or additional searches needed

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.
