research-topic

research-topic is a command for Claude Code from thangnguyenworkspace/company-research-pipeline. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,230 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for building a research dossier about one topic for a company. A dossier is a structured collection of gathered, checked, and analyzed evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps load existing research, gather evidence, verify and challenge claims, write the dossier, and distribute the finished result.
Why use it?
It organizes research into defined questions and review stages instead of leaving findings scattered across separate searches.

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-topic scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Topic

Build one dossier for: $ARGUMENTS (a company slug and a topic). If either is missing, ask. The company folder research/{slug}/ must exist (run /research-company first if not). The topic's question, ownership boundary, and analytical spine are defined in method/03-topics.md; the full method is method/01-pipeline.md section 2.

Step 1: Load

Read in full: 00-scope.md, 00-coverage-map.md, every already-written dossier-*.md for this company, and this topic's inbound-queue/pending/ entries. Then draft the dossier's section plan: the numbered sections, each defined by the question it answers (scaffolding, never conclusions). Present the section plan plus the sub-question carve for the gather, and pause for approval.

Step 2: Gather

Fan out 2 to 4 parallel research agents, each owning a disjoint sub-question slice. When the topic's evidence lives on LinkedIn or X, include a slice that runs the /social-crawl motion; when the company has public repos and the topic is product, include a /repo-recon slice. Dedicate one slice (or one agent) to the skeptic pass: hunting evidence against the scope's stated prior.

Every gather agent prompt must include:

  • The slice: sub-questions covered, sub-questions explicitly excluded.
  • The loop: up to 3 reason-search-reflect rounds; at most 2 Exa searches plus 1 batched crawl per round; stop on the named-gap test, diminishing returns, or the round cap.
  • The grading rules: two-axis [R·C] per source, sole-source caps at C3 (method/02-epistemics.md section 3).
  • The tool rules: method/04-tools.md (crawl maxCharacters, explicit numResults, natural-language queries, pre-score from result text before crawling, live-fetch systems of record for time-sensitive facts).
  • Organize-only: report sourced findings, never conclusions or tags. Every finding carries its external source URL.
  • Output: one file per agent at research/{slug}/{topic}/01-gather/gather-{slice}.md per templates/gather-report.md.
  • Read files past truncation.

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.

research-topic is a command published in the GitHub repository thangnguyenworkspace/company-research-pipeline (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,230 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
