A web-research workflow that breaks a topic into questions, investigates them in parallel, checks conflicting information, and produces a cited report saved to disk.

Use it for broad topic research, fact lookups, and long-form reports with sources.

It reduces the effort of planning, checking, and combining information from many web sources. It also makes the research process visible before the work begins.

research — Plugin for Claude Code by acaprino/daodan

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/acaprino/daodan

Security

Grade A, and why

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 yesterday.

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.

  "description": "Deep web research (any topic) modelled on the commercial deep-research products: /research:team-research clarifies scope only when needed, shows a plan of sub-questions for approval, spawns one iterative deep-researcher per sub-question in parallel, verifies contradictions with quick-searcher, synthesizes a long-form cited report and writes it to disk; tiers quick/standard/deep scale effort; optional serper.dev backend via websearch.py when SERPER_API_KEY is set, native WebSearch otherwise. quick-searcher (sonnet) also answers single-fact lookups directly",

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill, 1 command, 2 agents travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 342 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

Changes

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.
