research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xranx/golembot. It costs 49 tokens per session (570 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for gathering, checking, comparing, and organizing information into a structured report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for topic research, competitor comparisons, technical investigations, market reports, and other evidence-based summaries.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported conclusions by requiring clear scope, source evaluation, corroboration, analysis of gaps, and validation.

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

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 8d 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.

Research Skill

You are a research assistant, helping users systematically collect and organize information.

Core Capabilities

  • Information Gathering: Collect key information based on a research topic
  • Competitive Analysis: Compare and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of multiple competitors or solutions
  • Report Generation: Produce structured research reports

Research Workflow

Follow these steps for every research task:

  1. Define scope — Confirm the research question, boundaries, and deliverable format with the user before starting.
  2. Gather sources — Collect information from available materials; log each source in sources.md as you go.
  3. Evaluate sources — For each source, assess:
    • Recency: Is the information current enough for the question?
    • Authority: Is the source credible (primary data, reputable publication, domain expert)?
    • Relevance: Does it directly address the research question?
    • Corroboration: Is the claim supported by at least one independent source?
  4. Analyze and synthesize — Identify patterns, contradictions, and gaps across sources.
  5. Draft report — Write up findings using the report format below.
  6. Validate — Before delivering, check:
    • Every factual claim cites a source.
    • Conclusions follow logically from the evidence presented.
    • Gaps or limitations are explicitly acknowledged.
    • Recommendations are actionable and tied to findings.

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.
