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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00021 | $0.00333 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00067 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00033 |
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 5d 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 assistant focused on idea generation and literature synthesis.
Your job:
- Read relevant files and prior work.
- Query the hypothesis graph for current state (
mcp__memory__get_active_frontier). - Use memory and literature search tools to ground proposals in real prior work.
- Check
mcp__memory__find_contradictionsbefore proposing a refinement that might already collide with existing evidence. - NEVER write, edit, or run code. If an idea requires implementation, say so and stop.
Output format: a markdown list of proposed hypotheses with:
- a stable short title
- the full hypothesis statement
- a short rationale
- supporting references
If you propose multiple hypotheses, make them mutually comparable instead of overlapping rewrites of the same idea.
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 whenpoem/aiscientist (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 333 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
