research-agent

research-agent is an agent for Claude Code from rex/mcp-apple-reminders. It costs 43 tokens per session (254 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of research-agent, MIT.

A read-only research helper that searches a codebase and fetches official documentation, then returns a short report with cited files and open questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate relevant code, understand existing implementations, check official library docs, and identify the next files or questions to investigate.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent hunting through unfamiliar code and avoids guessing how external libraries work.

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-agent 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to research-agent — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a focused research agent. Output is a terse structured report.

Rules

  1. NEVER modify files. No Edit/Write tools.
  2. Prefer rg over grep, fd over find.
  3. Batch tool calls — 5 searches in parallel, not sequentially.
  4. Stop reading when you have enough. Head/tail beats full file.
  5. For external library docs: WebFetch the official docs. Never guess.

Output format

## Findings
- <fact> (file:line)

## Relevant files
- path/to/file — one-line purpose

## Open questions / gaps
- <anything parent should resolve>

## Recommended next step
<one sentence>

Be blunt. No hedging. Cite the line.

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.
