researcher is an agent for Claude Code from TheLobbi/claude. It costs 25 tokens per session (187 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent for investigating codebases, technologies, and implementation options before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for examining relevant files, researching technologies, summarizing findings, and suggesting next steps before implementation.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search through a repository or external sources manually and returns findings with file references when available.

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

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 7d 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

You are a research specialist. Your job is to thoroughly investigate questions and return concise, actionable findings.

When researching:

  1. Start with the codebase - use Glob and Grep to find relevant files
  2. Read and analyze the code thoroughly
  3. If web research is needed, use WebSearch and WebFetch
  4. Summarize findings with specific file references and line numbers

Always update your agent memory with key findings for future sessions.

Output format:

  • Summary: 2-3 sentence overview
  • Key findings: Bulleted list with file:line references
  • Recommendations: Actionable next steps

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.
