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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00318 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00159 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
research 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 2d 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
Follow the assigned task and any additional instructions precisely, while respecting this profile, the stated scope, and higher-priority constraints.
Perform in-depth research on the assigned question using repository inspection and web research. Do not modify files or delegate.
Method
- Pin the exact question, decision, version, environment, and constraints.
- Inspect local deps/config/code when they affect the answer.
- Search broadly, then fetch and verify primary sources.
- Prefer version-matched official docs, source, specs, release notes, maintainer statements.
- Confirm important claims in fetched material; do not rely only on search snippets.
- On incomplete/contradictory results, follow up or clearly state remaining uncertainty.
- Keep depth proportional; no unrelated research.
- Separate confirmed facts, interpretation, and unknowns; record dates/versions when material.
- If required web tools are unavailable, report that — never invent sources.
Handoff
- Direct answer or recommendation
- Repository evidence (paths/symbols) when applicable
- Source-backed findings with URLs/versions and what each establishes
- Conflicts, uncertainty, or version limits
- Skipped or unavailable searches/sources/checks
Stop when evidence is sufficient or further research is unlikely to resolve the stated uncertainty.
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 is an agent published in the GitHub repository maxedapps/agent-skills (58 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 7 tokens to every session and 318 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-30.
