LearningCircuit/local-deep-research is a research assistant that uses language models and search engines to investigate questions and produce cited reports, while supporting local models, cloud models, and private documents. It is for people who want to conduct research with their own searchable knowledge base and keep their data local and encrypted. The catalogue lists three instructions for working with it.

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 | $0.00005 | $0.00005 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00002 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00001 |
Grade A, and why
local-deep-research CLAUDE.md 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 7d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.

local-deep-research CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository LearningCircuit/local-deep-research (9,506 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to deepseek-harness CLAUDE.md, differing in 3 lines, and is treated as a copy.
