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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00726 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00363 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
researchforge-start 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Start or resume a ResearchForge project
ResearchForge is a local CLI: the AI proposes (queries, syntheses, patches);
the Python engine validates, executes, and records. Every command supports
--json — prefer it and read the structured output instead of parsing prose.
Resume an existing project
Always check state first:
researchforge status --json
The next_action field names the exact next command. Follow it — the engine
tracks the pipeline (papers → landscape → hypotheses → contract → baseline →
experiments → validation → shipping) and will not let steps run out of order.
Summarize where the project stands from the JSON counts, then invoke the
matching rule (researchforge-papers, researchforge-baseline, …).
Start a new project
- Ask where the project should live. ResearchForge is directory-scoped:
the database, worktrees, artifacts, and dashboard all live under the
directory you run it in — any folder works, it does not have to be a
repository you already opened. If the user names a folder (e.g. "do all
experiments at ~/Desktop/some_new_folder"), either
cdthere or prefix every command withresearchforge -C <folder> …. Confirm the location back to the user;researchforge pathsprints the full map afterwards. Commands run in a subfolder of a project walk up to the project root automatically (aUsing project at <root>note appears on stderr). Tell the user their project appears in the hub at http://127.0.0.1:9000 (all projects on the machine, with folder locations). - Ask the user which journey they want:
- Explore a research idea — literature search, landscape, hypotheses,
citation-backed report. Mode:
explore_research_idea. - Improve a repository — everything above plus a frozen baseline and
benchmarked experiments on their code. Mode:
improve_repository.
- Explore a research idea — literature search, landscape, hypotheses,
citation-backed report. Mode:
- Ask for a one-sentence objective (for
improve_repositoryit should name the metric to improve, e.g. "Improve classification F1 without increasing latency"). - Run:
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.

researchforge-start is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository forger-labs-hq/researchforge (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 726 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
