research-status

research-status is a command for coding agents from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 6 tokens per session (2,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only command that checks the status of the research pipeline. It summarizes queues, Readwise items, recent podcasts, knowledge-base growth, and failed URLs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pipeline health, inspect overnight results, monitor stored research growth, and identify follow-up actions.
Why use it?
It helps you decide whether to start processing, wait for the overnight run, or investigate failures without changing the research data.

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-status 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 yesterday.

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.

Command Context

When to Reference Research Module

Always reference when:

  • Checking morning research pipeline health
  • Before triggering manual processing with /research-daily
  • Reviewing overnight nightshift results
  • Monitoring knowledge base growth trends
  • Diagnosing research processing issues

Key decisions this command informs:

  • Whether to process pending items immediately or wait for nightshift
  • Which focus areas need more research attention
  • If URL failures need manual intervention
  • Whether podcast generation is working correctly

Quick Reference

Question Answer
What does this show? Queue counts, Readwise items, recent podcasts, knowledge base growth
What files does it read? research_learning.org, podcasts/, literature/, zettel/, industry-landscape.yaml
Does it modify anything? Can import Readwise items to research_learning.org if user confirms
What follow-up actions? Import Readwise, /research-daily, retry failed URLs

Agents This Command Invokes

None - this is a read-only status command that scans files and presents summaries.

Integration Points

  • research_learning.org - Scans for TODO/DONE counts per section
  • Readwise Reader API - Checks for archived items ready to import
  • Podcast directory - Lists recent audio files with metadata
  • Knowledge directories - Counts literature notes and zettels
  • industry-landscape.yaml - Counts landscape entries
  • /research-daily - Suggested as follow-up action for pending items
  • Nightshift status - May reference /nightshift-status for diagnostics

View research queue, recent podcasts, and processing statistics.

When to Use

  • Morning check on research pipeline status
  • Before triggering manual processing
  • Reviewing what was processed overnight
  • Checking industry landscape growth

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Status

Scan the following sources:

  • research_learning.org - Count TODO/DONE items per section
  • Readwise Reader API - Check for archived items (if configured)
  • 0-personal/content/podcasts/ - List recent podcasts
  • 0-personal/notes/2-knowledge/literature/ - Count literature notes
  • 0-personal/notes/2-knowledge/zettel/ - Count zettels
  • industry-landscape.yaml - Count entries

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.
