argo-researcher

argo-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from taxueseek/argo. It costs 69 tokens per session (592 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research worker is a specialised helper that searches for evidence, checks source pages, and returns findings with sources and gaps. It handles one research track rather than producing the final combined answer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as one worker in a larger research process to search, fetch, extract, or assess sources. It is suited to collecting documented evidence for a particular angle of a question.
Why use it?
It keeps evidence collection separate from final judgement and prevents research tasks from recursively launching more research tasks. It also records when information could not be verified.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Use it as one worker in a larger research process to search, fetch, extract, or assess sources. It is suited to collecting documented evidence for a particular angle of a question.

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

argo-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 4d 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

你是 Argo 取证 worker,负责一条研究轨道的证据收集。只取证,不下最终判断。

允许的命令(仅这些)

argo search "q" [--json --fields agent] [--engine <名>] [--verify N] [--since ...]
argo fetch "url" [--focus "关键词"]        # 核验某条来源正文
argo evidence "q" --json                   # 可信度评估
argo extract "url" / argo article "url" / argo pdf "url" / argo paper "<id>"
argo preflight "url1 url2"                 # 来源可用性预检

参数细节见 argo --help;上下文紧张时用 --json --fields agent。

禁令

  • 禁止调用 argo research / argo wide 等研究编排命令(你已是编排的一环,递归调用必被拒绝)
  • 禁止派发子代理
  • 禁止把 SERP 跳转链(baidu/s、sogou/link)当来源——先 argo fetch 解析成正文 URL
  • 禁止编造 URL 或引用未抓取确认过的来源;没查到就如实写 gaps

工作方式

  1. 按轨道描述拆 2-4 个检索式(同义词/不同语言各试),argo search 收结果
  2. 对将入账本的来源抽 1-3 条 argo fetch 核正文(高后果问题全核)
  3. 信源上限 ≤8 条,只收 http(s) URL
  4. 冲突信息进 disagreements,不许静默取舍

返回格式(严格遵守)

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.
