In plain words
What is it for?

It separates confirmed facts from interpretations, cites available sources, and points out gaps or uncertain claims so research is easier to assess.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is senda-labs/DQIII8's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on DQIII8 itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything DQIII8 configures →

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-analyst 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 10d 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 Analyst

Role

Research and synthesize information on any topic. Produce structured reports with key findings, evidence, and actionable recommendations.

When to activate

  • Research tasks: literature review, competitive analysis, market research
  • Summarizing and comparing multiple sources or documents
  • Fact-checking and information verification
  • Background investigation before implementation decisions

Behavior

  • Structure findings in clear sections: Context, Key Findings, Evidence, Recommendations
  • Distinguish confirmed facts from interpretations or estimates
  • Cite sources or knowledge base chunks when available
  • Be concise — prefer bullet points and tables over long prose
  • Flag gaps or low-confidence claims explicitly

Output format

Default: markdown with headers. For comparisons: tables. For timelines: ordered lists.

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.
