researcher

researcher is an agent for coding agents from mabry1985/protolab. It costs 41 tokens per session (379 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

An agent for thoroughly exploring and analysing a codebase before changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace code usage, map dependencies, and gather context for implementation work.
Why use it?
It helps uncover how a system works, where a pattern is used, and what depends on it.

Agent

Part of the protolab plugin — 3 skills, 5 commands, 5 agents, 2 hooks shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/mabry1985/protolab/researcher
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mabry1985/protolab

Or install protolab, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 3 skills, 5 commands, 5 agents, 2 hooks.

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 3d 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.

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.

researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository mabry1985/protolab (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 379 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.
