A project-scoped research command for recalling, refreshing, or saving research. It can use existing project notes and web research when current information is needed.

Use `/research` when you need to investigate a topic, retrieve saved findings, verify current information, or store new research in the project's `.research/` folder.

It keeps research findings organized in the project instead of leaving them only in a conversation. It also starts by checking whether relevant notes already exist.

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.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 144 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00144
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00058
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00029
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00014

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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

/research

Use the bundled Codex research skill to recall, refresh, or store project-scoped research.

Arguments

topic: research topic or question.

Workflow

Treat the user argument as the research topic.
Follow skills/research/SKILL.md.
Start with retrieval: inspect .research/INDEX.md, then load only matching summaries.
If fresh research is needed, use Codex web search and browsing tools for current sources.
Use Codex subagents only when the user explicitly asked for subagents, delegation, or parallel agent work; otherwise investigate inline.
Store findings under .research/ using Codex-safe file edits.

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.
