ultra-research

ultra-research is a command for Claude Code from rocky2431/ultra-builder-pro. It costs 12 tokens per session (720 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided research command for turning an early software or product idea into written specifications. It leads you through problem validation, market and competitor research, product strategy, users, scenarios, and technical planning, pausing for confirmation between steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate whether a problem is real, assess the market, study competitors, define users and scenarios, choose product priorities, validate assumptions, and create specification files.
Why use it?
It helps replace an unclear idea with tested assumptions and documented decisions before implementation begins. The step-by-step process also keeps research findings from being lost.

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

ultra-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 12d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ultra Research v2

Step-file architecture: Each research step is a self-contained instruction file loaded just-in-time for maximum LLM attention density.

How This Works

  1. Read the main skill file: skills/ultra-research/SKILL.md
  2. Follow the activation sequence (pre-checks → project type detection → step routing)
  3. For each step: Read skills/ultra-research/steps/step-{NN}-{name}.md and follow ALL instructions
  4. Each step writes output immediately to spec files, then presents [C] Continue gate
  5. Only proceed to next step after user confirms [C]

Step Sequence

Step File Focus
R0: Product Discovery
00 step-00-problem-validation.md Validate the problem is real
01 step-01-opportunity-discovery.md Map opportunity space (OST)
02 step-02-market-assessment.md TAM/SAM/SOM sizing
03 step-03-competitive-landscape.md Competitor analysis
04 step-04-product-strategy.md Vision, segments, trade-offs
05 step-05-assumptions-validation.md Risk assumptions + experiments
R1: User & Scenario
10 step-10-user-personas.md 2-3 personas
11 step-11-user-scenarios.md 3-5 user scenarios
R2: Feature Definition
20 step-20-user-stories.md Stories + acceptance criteria
21 step-21-features-scope.md MVP scope + exclusions
22 step-22-success-metrics.md KPIs + targets
R3: Architecture
30 step-30-architecture-context.md Quality goals, constraints
31 step-31-solution-strategy.md Tech stack decisions
32 step-32-building-blocks.md Modules + runtime scenarios
R4: Quality & Deploy
40 step-40-deployment.md Infrastructure + CI/CD
41 step-41-quality-risks.md Quality scenarios + risks
Synthesis
99 step-99-synthesis.md Distillate + validation

Critical Rules

  • Read SKILL.md first — it has activation logic and project type detection
  • One step at a time — never load multiple step files simultaneously
  • Write immediately — every step writes to spec file before presenting to user
  • Web search mandatory — factual claims need sources, no exceptions
  • User gate — halt at [C] Continue, do not auto-proceed

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.

ultra-research is a command published in the GitHub repository rocky2431/ultra-builder-pro (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 720 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
