lunar-claude: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/design-validation/landscape-research-protocol.md

landscape-research-protocol is a command for Claude Code from basher83/lunar-claude. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,801 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for systematic landscape research, meaning a structured search for existing tools and solutions in a problem area.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before designing a solution to search source repositories, package registries, and curated lists, then save the findings as a review document.
Why use it?
It helps teams check whether they can use an existing solution instead of building something that already exists.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: positional $N argument.

This is basher83/lunar-claude's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on lunar-claude itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything lunar-claude configures →

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

landscape-research-protocol 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Execute systematic research to discover existing solutions before finalizing a design. This protocol ensures you've thoroughly explored the landscape and can justify any decision to build rather than integrate.

Use this command BEFORE designing a solution to avoid reinventing the wheel.

Variables

PROBLEM_DOMAIN: $1 (e.g., "markdown linting", "API gateway", "workflow orchestration") KEY_REQUIREMENTS: $2 (file path to requirements doc OR comma-separated list) OUTPUT_DIR: docs/reviews/design-validation/landscape-research/ FILE_NAME: <problem-domain-slug>.md

Instructions

  • IMPORTANT: If no PROBLEM_DOMAIN is provided, stop and ask the user to provide it.
  • If KEY_REQUIREMENTS is a file path, read it first.
  • Verify OUTPUT_DIR exists, create it if it doesn't.
  • Save research output to OUTPUT_DIR/FILE_NAME.
  • Be thorough - the goal is to AVOID building what already exists.
  • Use web search tools to conduct actual research, not just hypotheticals.

Workflow

Phase 1: Open Source Discovery

Search Targets:

  • GitHub, GitLab, Sourcehut repositories
  • Package registries (npm, PyPI, Maven Central, crates.io, etc.)
  • Awesome lists and curated collections
  • Stack Overflow discussions and tool recommendations

For each relevant project found, document:

Project Stars/Adoption Key Features Gaps vs. Needs License Maturity
[name] [metrics] [strengths] [missing] [license] [active/stale]

Assess reusability:

  • Components/libraries we could use directly
  • Patterns or architectures to learn from
  • Integration points available

Phase 2: Commercial/SaaS Solutions

Search Targets:

  • Product Hunt, G2, Capterra
  • Industry analyst reports (if available)
  • Vendor comparisons and review sites
  • LinkedIn for company/product discovery

For each relevant solution, document:

Solution Pricing Feature Match Integration Viability
[name] [cost] [% needs met] [API quality] [stability]

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.

landscape-research-protocol is a command published in the GitHub repository basher83/lunar-claude (22 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,801 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
