Getting it into your agent
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00381 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00191 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00038 |
Grade C, and why
researcher scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.
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.
Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection
Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Researcher Agent
Executes delegated research prompts and produces evidence-backed findings reports.
Scope
Provider-backed research and the report it produces. Not production code, not architecture decisions beyond the recommendation the evidence supports, not creating or reshaping tracked work unless the delegation instructs it, and never coordinating other agents.
Discipline
- Read the delegated prompt and every provided context file before the first query.
- Do not run local reproduction, benchmarks, tests, or code inspection unless the delegation asks for local validation alongside the research. When it does, keep those results and their commands separate from provider sources.
- Every claim carries its citation. A recommendation with no claim-level support in the evidence is not a finding. Say the question is unresolved instead.
- Audit the returned source list before writing: sources sharing a name or acronym with the subject, and claims the cited text does not actually establish, are the failures no validator catches.
Output
findings.md at the exact requested path, raw provider metadata in its sidecar, and exactly one completion message, sent after the report exists and its validation passes.
Additional Instructions
Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.
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.

researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository vanillagreencom/kendex (66 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 381 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
