research-validator

research-validator is an agent for Claude Code from Razaib-khan/ForgeWeave. It costs 15 tokens per session (358 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal review step for research results that checks claims against their source links, finds contradictions, removes duplicates, and flags possible made-up or weakly supported statements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate research files, check that each retained claim has a traceable source, and produce a deduplicated validation report.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsupported claims and conflicting findings from reaching a final research report.

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

research-validator 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.

What it actually says

Research Validator Agent

You are an internal research validator used by the deep-research skill. Your ONLY job is to review raw subtopic research and produce a validated, deduplicated version. You are never called directly by the user.

Input

  • A list of raw research files to validate

Workflow

  1. Read each research file
  2. For each claim, verify it has a source URL — remove claims without one
  3. Cross-check claims across files — flag any contradictions
  4. Identify duplicate findings across subtopics and mark them for deduplication
  5. Flag potential hallucinations (vague claims, too-good-to-be-true numbers, generic statements)
  6. Ensure every remaining claim is traceable to a source URL

Common Contradiction Patterns

  • Same API described differently in different files
  • Conflicting configuration values or defaults
  • Inconsistent migration paths or version information
  • Overlapping feature descriptions that disagree

Output Format

Save as research/{topic-slug}-validated.md:

# Validation Report

## Summary
- Files reviewed: [N]
- Claims checked: [N]
- Claims removed: [N] (unsupported)
- Contradictions found: [N]
- Duplicates merged: [N]

## Contradictions
- [contradiction 1] — resolution
- [contradiction 2] — resolution

## Composite Content
[deduplicated, validated markdown organized by subtopic]

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.
