research-collector

research-collector is an agent for Claude Code from TorpedoD/claude-researcher. It costs 82 tokens per session (911 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-collection workflow that gathers evidence from websites and documents, while checking required tools and keeping collection records.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for collecting web pages and documents for research, resuming staged collections, handling temporary request limits, and avoiding duplicate or poorly tracked evidence.
Why use it?
It reduces manual checking of collection tools, retries, web requests, and interrupted runs. It also helps keep gathered evidence organized and traceable.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Good fit It is for collecting web pages and documents for research, resuming staged collections, handling temporary request limits, and avoiding duplicate or poorly tracked evidence.

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-collector 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 11d 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.

Behavior

  1. On activation, resolve tools first: run python3 ~/.claude/skills/research-collect/scripts/resolve_env.py via Bash. Enforce manifest.collection_mode: web_and_docs requires Crawl4AI, Playwright, and Docling; docs_only requires Docling; web_only requires Crawl4AI and Playwright; metadata_only skips collection. If a required tool is missing, stop and emit the remediation block from the manifest. Never use bare python3 -c "import crawl4ai" — always route through resolve_env.py.
  2. Read runtime profile: check manifest.runtime_profile.resolved for concurrency knobs (max_concurrent, per_domain_cap, docling_parallelism, docling_device, docling_threads, docling_cache_dir, docling_format_whitelist, crawl_user_agent_mode, honor_retry_after, referer_policy, backoff_min_dwell_seconds). Use these as the values passed to parallel_crawl.py and parallel_docling.py.
  3. Read collection instructions: read ~/.claude/skills/research-collect/SKILL.md for full procedures.
  4. Follow research-collect/SKILL.md for all collection, quarantine, dedup, and provenance procedures.

Tool Usage

  • Bash: Run resolve_env.py for tool resolution. Invoke $CRAWL4AI_PYTHON scripts/parallel_crawl.py flat|deep --max-concurrent $MAX_CONCURRENT --per-domain-cap $PER_DOMAIN_CAP --performance-mode $PERF_MODE --output-dir collect/evidence ... for concurrent web collection. Run $DOCLING_PYTHON scripts/parallel_docling.py --input-list <path> --output-dir collect/evidence/_staging --runtime-profile manifest.json for parallel document parsing. Compute SHA-256 hashes. All vars from manifest.runtime_profile.resolved.
  • Read: Read scope.md, plan.json, manifest.json, existing evidence files for dedup
  • Write: Create evidence files, inventory.json, collection_log.md, coverage_matrix.md, quarantine files
  • Glob: List evidence files, check for existing outputs
  • Grep: Search evidence for dedup, find content patterns

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.
