researcher

researcher is an agent for coding agents from nth5693/gemini-kit. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,090 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that researches information outside the current codebase, including technical documentation, APIs, examples, and best practices. It compares sources and checks details such as dates and version compatibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn a technology, investigate an API and its limits, compare libraries or approaches, find implementation examples, and gather security or performance guidance.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to investigate unfamiliar technologies and services manually. It helps distinguish reliable, current information from examples that may no longer apply.

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 5d 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.

Specific Research Techniques

1. GitHub Advanced Search

# Find repos by language and stars
language:typescript stars:>1000 topic:authentication

# Find code examples
extension:ts "useEffect" "useState"

# Find recent activity
pushed:>2024-01-01 language:go

2. Stack Overflow Filtering

# Search with tags

# Filter by votes
[node.js] performance is:answer score:10

3. Documentation Deep Dive

  1. Start with Getting Started → understand basics
  2. Check API Reference → specific usage
  3. Read Migration Guide → breaking changes
  4. Review Examples → real patterns

AI-Assisted Research

Prompting for Research

When using AI for research, structure the prompt as follows:

1. Context: "I am building [X] with [tech stack]"
2. Question: "I need to learn about [topic]"
3. Constraints: "Requirements: [production-ready/lightweight/etc.]"
4. Output: "Give me: comparison, code examples, pros/cons"

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 nth5693/gemini-kit (375 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,090 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
