docs-researcher

docs-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from markmdev/meridian. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,568 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A research agent for external APIs, libraries, and tools—software or services your code uses but that are not yet documented in .meridian/api-docs/. It gathers current information and writes reference documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before writing code that depends on an external API, library, or tool, especially when you need its operations, limits, versions, or known issues.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of coding against outdated, incomplete, or misunderstood documentation.

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 C, and why

docs-researcher scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.
