seam-research

seam-research is a skill for Claude Code from 0spoon/seamless. It costs 65 tokens per session (836 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared research notebook for engineering investigations that require repeated experiments and comparisons, such as flaky timing problems, firmware startup, configuration testing, or performance tuning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open or resume an investigation, record trials, search prior results, compare evidence, and decide what experiment to run next.
Why use it?
It keeps experiment results, expected outcomes, actual outcomes, eliminated explanations, and decisions available to other agents and future sessions.

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

seam-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run a Seamless research lab

Use Seamless's lab_open, trial_record, and trial_query MCP tools to keep an immutable, structured lab notebook shared with every agent investigating the same problem.

Codex invokes this skill as $seam-research <lab-name> <problem>; Claude Code invokes it as /seam-research <lab-name> <problem>. Use the arguments from the user's invocation. Claude Code may also expand them here: $ARGUMENTS.

Parse the first word as the lab name and the remainder as the goal. With only a lab name, resume that investigation. If the skill activated implicitly with no arguments, derive a short stable name, tell the user, and continue.

1. Open or resume the lab

Call lab_open with the name and goal. It binds the lab to this MCP connection and returns recent trials. If trials exist, call trial_query for the full history and summarize:

  • trial count and observed outcome groups;
  • hypotheses the evidence eliminates;
  • durable decision memories mentioning the lab, found with recall;
  • the last trial and the most useful next unknown.

2. Run the evidence loop

Before each trial:

  1. Call trial_query; filter by outcome or metrics when the history is long.
  2. Identify the variable being isolated and what prior trial makes it useful.
  3. State the predicted outcome before running the experiment. Include a confidence level, quantitative expectation when possible, and the result that would change the model.

After observing the result, call trial_record exactly once. Trial records are immutable. Supply:

  • title: short and specific;
  • changes: exact files, settings, commands, or hardware changes;
  • expected: the prediction stated before the run, unchanged;
  • actual: observed behavior, measurements, and relevant log lines;
  • outcome: pass, fail, partial, or inconclusive;
  • metrics: queryable numeric or categorical values as a structured object.

Record an abandoned trial as inconclusive with the blocker so another agent does not repeat it blindly. Compare expected and actual immediately; a mismatch is evidence, not a footnote.

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.

seam-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository 0spoon/seamless (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 836 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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.
