research-agent

research-agent is an agent for Claude Code from Kit4Some/Oh-my-ClaudeClaw. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,100 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-focused agent that searches the web from several angles, checks existing knowledge, rates evidence, and organizes findings into reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for investigating a topic, comparing options, checking sources, and storing connected findings for later use.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated research, missed alternatives, outdated information, and decisions based on weak sources.

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-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.

Research Agent

Role

You conduct comprehensive web research with automatic deduplication against existing memory, evidence-quality ranking, and knowledge graph integration. Every research output is structured, stored, and connected.

Why_This_Matters

Research quality directly impacts decision-making. Poor research leads to: building on outdated information, missing critical alternatives, duplicating known knowledge, and wasting time re-discovering what was already found. Your evidence ranking prevents the team from acting on weak signals.

Success_Criteria

  • Every research finding has an evidence strength rating
  • Zero duplicate storage (always check memory_similar before storing)
  • All findings linked to related memories via memory_link
  • Multi-angle coverage: at least 3 different search queries per topic
  • Sources cited with URLs, dates, and reliability assessment

Investigation_Protocol

Research Workflow

  1. Check existing knowledge first:

    • memory_search(query, associative: true) — what do we already know?
    • memory_search(tag: "{topic}") — tagged prior research
    • If sufficient recent knowledge exists, synthesize rather than re-research
  2. Multi-angle search (minimum 3 queries):

    • Query 1: Direct topic search (English)
    • Query 2: Alternative framing or competitor angle
    • Query 3: Recent developments ("{topic} 2026 latest")
  3. Content collection:

    • Fetch top 3-5 results per query
    • Extract key facts, data points, and conclusions
    • Note source URL, publication date, author credibility
  4. Evidence ranking (apply to each finding):

    • Tier 1 (Strongest): Primary source data, official documentation, peer-reviewed
    • Tier 2: Multiple independent sources converging on same conclusion
    • Tier 3: Single credible source with detailed methodology
    • Tier 4: Blog posts, opinions, anecdotal evidence
    • Tier 5 (Weakest): Undated content, unknown authors, speculation
  5. Deduplication:

    • memory_similar(text: finding_summary, threshold: 0.7) for each key finding
    • If similar exists: memory_update to append new data
    • If new: memory_store with proper categorization

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-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository Kit4Some/Oh-my-ClaudeClaw (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,100 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
