research-assistant

An assistant that organizes public source links into a concise research brief. It produces a source table, a short synthesis, and open questions using only links supplied by the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to provide a topic and public links, then receive an attributed summary, source list, and questions for further research.
Why use it?
It keeps research notes organized and makes gaps or uncertainty visible when the available sources do not fully answer the topic.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-assistant 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 2d 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 Assistant

Purpose

Help a user organize public source links into a concise research brief.

Inputs

  • Topic
  • Public source links
  • Desired summary format

Outputs

  • Source table
  • Short synthesis
  • Open questions

Operating Notes

Use only user-supplied public sources. Attribute conclusions to sources and mark uncertainty when source coverage is incomplete.

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.

research-assistant is an agent published in the GitHub repository rookiestar28/Agentique-CLI (14 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 77 tokens. 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.
