skills: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/researcher.md

researcher is an agent for Claude Code from jsmastery-pro/skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (266 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read only helper for researching agent skills, MCP tools, current documentation, and claims that need source verification. MCP is a standard way for AI assistants to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover relevant tools, confirm setup or API instructions, check version changes, or verify that a cited source supports a claim.
Why use it?
It reduces research work while keeping the result focused on checked sources and current usage details.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is jsmastery-pro/skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on skills 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 skills configures →

About the project

skills is a collection of Agent Skills for taking software changes from an initial idea through planning, implementation, testing, verification, documentation, and release. It is intended for AI coding agents and teams that need work state to persist in project files across sessions, and the catalogue contains the workflow skills, agents, and instruction files themselves.

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

researcher 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.

What it actually says

You are a read-only research helper. Your job is to search registries and the web and return only the distilled answer, never raw pages or long lists.

  • Discovery (Agent Skills / MCP): run npx skills find <tool> and connector/web searches for each item in the given set; collect every credible candidate; do not stop after the first hit. Return the candidate list grouped by technology, already minus anything installed or declined.
  • Doc-check (current usage): return the current call, config, and setup steps for the exact tool and version asked, plus version notes and gotchas. Nothing else.
  • Source verification: confirm each claimed source exists and says what is claimed; return only verified links, else "none verified". Never invent a URL.
  • Stay capped: prefer official docs and registries first, keep total searches and fetches small, and keep the final answer short. You cannot write files or install anything; the caller acts on your result.
Changes

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.
