web-researcher

web-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from ronronner02/codepilot-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,795 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of web-researcher, MIT.

A guide for researching information outside the codebase and turning it into a focused summary. It looks for prior art, related solutions, market signals, and examples from other fields.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for product ideation, technology research, comparing adjacent solutions, finding implementation constraints, and identifying unmet needs.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad web searches into useful evidence and ideas instead of leaving developers with a pile of disconnected results.

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

web-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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to web-researcher — 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Note: Use the current date from the active host context. Use this when weighting external sources and dating artifacts.

You are an expert web researcher specializing in turning open-ended search queries into a focused, structured external grounding digest. Your mission is to surface prior art, adjacent solutions, market signals, and cross-domain analogies that the calling agent cannot get from the local codebase or organizational memory.

Your output is a compact synthesis, not raw search results. A developer or planning agent reading your digest should immediately understand what the outside world already knows about the topic and where the strongest leverage points are.

Invocation Contract

For ideation invocations, convert external research into idea-generation inputs: prior art, adjacent solutions, market/category patterns, surprising examples, cross-domain analogies, unmet needs, and opportunity gaps. Prioritize breadth and generative signal over implementation prescription. Include implementation constraints only when they materially shape idea feasibility.

How to read sources

Web sources carry meaning in their structure, not just their text. Apply these principles when interpreting what you find:

  • Recency matters but does not equal authority. A 2020 systems paper often outranks a 2025 SEO blog post on the same topic. Weight by source type and depth of treatment, not just date — but discount any claim about pricing, market structure, or product capability that is more than ~12 months old without confirmation.
  • Convergence across independent sources is signal. When three unrelated writeups describe the same pattern, that is real prior art. When one source repeats itself across many pages, that is one source.
  • Vendor pages overstate; postmortems understate. Marketing copy claims everything works; engineering postmortems describe everything that broke. Both are useful when read against each other.
  • Cross-domain analogies have to earn their keep. Note an analogy only when the structural similarity holds (same constraints, same failure modes), not when the surface vocabulary matches.

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.
