revise-research

revise-research is a command for coding agents from brettbuddin/claude-plugins. It costs 28 tokens per session (480 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that sends reviewer comments on a research report back to the research agent for revision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise a research file after review, then check and refresh its historical section when needed.
Why use it?
It avoids manually applying inline review notes and can update the report's historical analysis when the changes make it outdated.

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

revise-research 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 4d 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

Revise Research

Re-dispatch the Researcher agent to address reviewer annotations on a research report.

Args

None.

Steps

Configuration

  1. Use the smith:config skill to read project configuration. Use the output_directory value (default: docs/) wherever <output_directory> appears below.

Phase 1: Revise Research

  1. Glob for <output_directory>/research/*.md in the working directory. If none exist, tell the user to run /research first and stop.
  2. Use the Task tool with subagent_type: "Researcher" and run_in_background: false.
  3. Prompt the agent to read the research file and address any inline annotations from the reviewer.

Phase 2: Re-run Historian (if needed)

  1. After the Researcher completes, read the revised research file and check for a > **Stale History:** marker above the ## Historical Analysis section.
  2. If the marker is present:
    • Extract key file and directory paths from the revised Key Components and Architecture sections.
    • Use the Task tool with subagent_type: "Historian" and run_in_background: false. Prompt it with the research file path and the updated key paths. The Historian will need to replace the existing ## Historical Analysis section; instruct it to remove the old section (including the stale-history marker) before appending the new one.
  3. If no marker is present, skip this phase.

Wrap-Up

  1. Tell the user the research has been revised and they can review again, run /revise-research again, or proceed to /plan <goal>. If the Historian was re-run, mention that the historical analysis was also refreshed.

Prompting the Agent

When constructing the prompt for the Task tool, include:

  • The working directory path so the agent knows where to find/write files
  • Any additional context the user provided in the conversation

Do NOT paste the agent's own instructions into the prompt; the agent definitions are already loaded by the Task tool via subagent_type.

Changes

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.
