What is research-git?

A plugin that stores ideas and features from a codebase as searchable records called Feature Capsules. It can later find those records and help rebuild them in a newer version of the code.

Use it to capture code-related ideas, search a history of features, examine relationships between them, and regenerate selected features onto the current codebase.

Important design ideas and past experiments are easy to lose as code changes. This keeps a memory of what a feature was meant to do and supports bringing it back later.

Security

Grade A, and why

research-git 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.

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.
