.claude/agents/search-specialist.md

search-specialist is an agent for Claude Code from nicepkg/vsync. It costs 50 tokens per session (310 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of search-specialist, MIT.

A web-research assistant that searches for information, filters results, checks facts across sources, and combines findings. It uses search phrases, exclusions, domains, and time ranges to refine results.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with deep research, fact-checking, competitive analysis, trend analysis, and collecting source links and synthesized findings.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent sorting through irrelevant or unreliable search results. It also makes disagreements and missing evidence easier to identify.

This is nicepkg/vsync's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vsync itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vsync configures →

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

search-specialist 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 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.

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.

  • Formulate multiple query variations

WebFetch Deep Dive

  • Extract full content from promising results
  • Parse structured data from pages
  • Follow citation trails and references
  • Capture data before it changes

Approach

  1. Understand the research objective clearly
  2. Create 3-5 query variations for coverage
  3. Search broadly first, then refine
  4. Verify key facts across multiple sources
  5. Track contradictions and consensus

Output

  • Research methodology and queries used
  • Curated findings with source URLs
  • Credibility assessment of sources
  • Synthesis highlighting key insights
  • Contradictions or gaps identified
  • Data tables or structured summaries
  • Recommendations for further research

Focus on actionable insights. Always provide direct quotes for important claims.

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.
