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

quick-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 8d 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

Quick Research: $ARGUMENTS

Research with source verification (2-3 searches max).

Process

  1. Search for relevant sources

  2. After each search, note:

    • Key facts (High/Medium/Low confidence)
    • Any contradictions
  3. Deliver:

## Answer
[Direct response]

## Supporting Evidence
- [Fact] ([Source], [confidence])
- [Fact] ([Source], [confidence])

## Confidence: [High/Medium/Low]
[justification]

## Caveats
[limitations]

User Interaction

Use the AskUserQuestion tool when:

  • Question is too broad for quick research
  • Clarification needed between quick vs deep research
  • Low confidence result warrants escalation decision

Example Invocations

Broad question:

User: /quick-research climate change
→ Use AskUserQuestion tool:
  Question: "This topic is broad for quick research. What specific question?"
  Options:
  - "Latest IPCC report findings"
  - "Current global temperature trends"
  - "Switch to /deep-research for comprehensive coverage"

Low confidence result:

After research: Confidence LOW (conflicting sources)
→ Use AskUserQuestion tool:
  Question: "Quick research found conflicting information. How to proceed?"
  Options:
  - "Accept low-confidence answer with caveats"
  - "Escalate to /deep-research for thorough verification"
  - "Try different search queries"

Escalation decision:

User: /quick-research [complex multi-part question]
→ Use AskUserQuestion tool:
  Question: "This question may need deeper research. Which approach?"
  Options:
  - "Quick research (2-3 searches, faster)"
  - "Deep research (5-10 searches, more thorough)" (Recommended)
  - "Start quick, escalate if needed"

Begin now.

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.
