research-deep

research-deep is a command for Claude Code from Galbaz1/video-research-mcp. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that starts Gemini's web-based research agent after interviewing the user to define a research brief. It also checks stored knowledge and earlier research before beginning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing research briefs, checking existing analyses, and launching longer web-grounded research tasks. The listing says these tasks typically take 10–20 minutes and cost $2–5.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad research request into a focused question and avoids overlooking relevant previous findings.

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-deep 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 27d 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.

Deep Research: $ARGUMENTS

Launch the Gemini Deep Research Agent for autonomous web-grounded research (long-running; provider billing applies).

For a shorter model-driven analysis, use /gr:research. Consult current provider pricing before a paid run.

Phase 0: Load Context

Before interviewing, gather intelligence:

  1. Prior research: Call knowledge_search(query="$ARGUMENTS", limit=5) to find existing findings in Weaviate
  2. Check memory: Read files under <memory-dir>/gr/research/ for previous analyses on related topics

Present to the user:

  • "I found X prior analyses related to this topic: [summaries]"
  • "Here's what we already know: [key findings]"
  • "Let me interview you to build a precise research brief."

If no prior context found, proceed directly to the interview.

Phase 1: Research Brief Interview

This is a CHALLENGE-DRIVEN interview. The quality of the brief determines the quality of the research.

Brief Protocol

Use supplied goals, sources, and existing authorization first. If the user requested autonomous work, compile a reversible brief with stated assumptions and proceed within the authorized spend/scope. Ask one consolidated question only for a materially missing decision or required budget authority; do not require an interview or approval again when the session already supplies it.

For interactive brief building, select relevant questions below rather than forcing every round.

Round 1 -- Question Sharpening Restate topic as a precise question. Challenge HARD:

  • "This is too broad -- which specific aspect matters for your decision?"
  • "What would the ACTIONABLE output look like? A decision memo? Competitive landscape?"
  • "What's the actual decision this research needs to inform?"

Round 2 -- Scope Boundaries

  • Time period (recent vs historical vs both)
  • Domains (academic, industry, regulatory, all)
  • Geographic scope if relevant
  • What to EXCLUDE (common knowledge, things user already knows)
  • Authorized budget and maximum launches/follow-ups

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.

research-deep is a command published in the GitHub repository Galbaz1/video-research-mcp (23 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,257 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
