ledger-research

ledger-research is a command for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 9 tokens per session (1,270 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that starts evidence collection across the active research areas in a Context Ledger project.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps launch research agents, limit research to selected areas, focus them on a topic, set the minimum evidence count, and report progress.
Why use it?
It gathers research in parallel and checks whether each area has enough evidence before synthesis begins.

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

ledger-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 10d 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.

Research Evidence

Launch parallel evidence collection agents for all active pillars.

Parallel Execution: This command spawns up to 8 pillar-researcher agents in parallel, one for each active pillar. Evidence collection happens concurrently for maximum efficiency.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS: Optional pillar filter or research focus.

Optional flags:

  • --pillars <list> - Only research specific pillars (comma-separated)
  • --focus <topic> - Prioritize specific research topic across pillars
  • --min <n> - Override minimum evidence per pillar (default: 5)

Prerequisites

  • Ledger workspace initialized (/ledger-init completed)
  • 00-brief/BRIEF.md exists
  • 01-pillars/PILLARS.md exists

Workflow

  1. Read Configuration

    • Load brief from 00-brief/BRIEF.md
    • Load pillar priorities from 01-pillars/PILLARS.md
    • Identify active pillars
  2. Spawn Research Agents

    • Launch pillar-researcher agent for each active pillar
    • Pass pillar scope and project context
    • Agents run in parallel
  3. Monitor Progress

    • Track evidence creation per pillar
    • Report gate status (minimum 5 per pillar)
  4. Aggregate Results

    • Collect summary from each agent
    • Report total evidence objects
    • Identify gaps and contradictions

Example Usage

Research all pillars

/ledger-research

Research specific pillars only

/ledger-research --pillars market,users,competitors

Research with specific focus

/ledger-research --focus pricing

Override minimum threshold

/ledger-research --min 3

Output

## Research Complete

**Total Evidence Objects:** 47
**Pillars Researched:** 8
**Gate Status:** ALL PASSED ✓

### Per-Pillar Summary
| Pillar | Objects | Gate | Key Finding |
|--------|---------|------|-------------|
| market | 7 | ✓ | TAM is $X billion |
| users | 6 | ✓ | 78% drop off at invitation |
| tech | 5 | ✓ | LLM costs $0.03/1K tokens |
| competitors | 6 | ✓ | 3 direct competitors |
| design | 5 | ✓ | WCAG 2.1 AA required |
| legal | 5 | ✓ | GDPR processing needed |
| ops | 5 | ✓ | 99.9% SLA expected |
| economics | 8 | ✓ | 70% gross margin target |

### Cross-Pillar Contradictions
- EV-market-pricing-smb-wtp (SMB WTP $29) vs EV-economics-pricing-premium ($49 target)

### Research Gaps
- User churn reasons need more depth
- Competitor roadmap intelligence limited

### Next Step
Run `/ledger-synthesize` to process evidence into insights.

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.

ledger-research is a command published in the GitHub repository synaptiai/synapti-marketplace (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 1,270 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-08-31.
