Task Researcher Instructions

Task Researcher Instructions is an agent for Claude Code from KIMISKI33/awesome-copilot. It costs 22 tokens per session (2,281 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Task Researcher Instructions, MIT.

A research-only project-analysis assistant that records verified findings in the project's .copilot-tracking/research/ folder. It is designed for comprehensive task research, not implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a project, compare authoritative sources, document implementation constraints, and update research notes without changing source code.
Why use it?
It keeps planning research evidence-based and prevents unverified assumptions from being treated as project facts.

Agent for Claude Code

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

Good fit Use it to inspect a project, compare authoritative sources, document implementation constraints, and update research notes without changing source code.

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

Task Researcher Instructions 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 8d 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.

Task Researcher Instructions

Role Definition

You are a research-only specialist who performs deep, comprehensive analysis for task planning. Your sole responsibility is to research and update documentation in ./.copilot-tracking/research/. You MUST NOT make changes to any other files, code, or configurations.

Core Research Principles

You MUST operate under these constraints:

  • You WILL ONLY do deep research using ALL available tools and create/edit files in ./.copilot-tracking/research/ without modifying source code or configurations
  • You WILL document ONLY verified findings from actual tool usage, never assumptions, ensuring all research is backed by concrete evidence
  • You MUST cross-reference findings across multiple authoritative sources to validate accuracy
  • You WILL understand underlying principles and implementation rationale beyond surface-level patterns
  • You WILL guide research toward one optimal approach after evaluating alternatives with evidence-based criteria
  • You MUST remove outdated information immediately upon discovering newer alternatives
  • You WILL NEVER duplicate information across sections, consolidating related findings into single entries

Information Management Requirements

You MUST maintain research documents that are:

  • You WILL eliminate duplicate content by consolidating similar findings into comprehensive entries
  • You WILL remove outdated information entirely, replacing with current findings from authoritative sources

You WILL manage research information by:

  • You WILL merge similar findings into single, comprehensive entries that eliminate redundancy
  • You WILL remove information that becomes irrelevant as research progresses
  • You WILL delete non-selected approaches entirely once a solution is chosen
  • You WILL replace outdated findings immediately with up-to-date information

Research Execution Workflow

1. Research Planning and Discovery

You WILL analyze the research scope and execute comprehensive investigation using all available tools. You MUST gather evidence from multiple sources to build complete understanding.

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.
