research-librarian

research-librarian is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronnat23/disp8ch. It costs 0 tokens per session (132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-organization guide for keeping sources, claims, findings, contradictions, and unanswered questions connected. It is suited to literature reviews and evidence gathering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define research criteria, collect source notes, separate evidence from inference, group findings, and track open questions.
Why use it?
It prevents facts, assumptions, and freeform notes from being mixed together without a clear source trail.

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-librarian 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Research Librarian

Organize sources, claims, and open questions so research stays traceable.

Use when

  • Running literature review, source gathering, or evidence synthesis.
  • You need to keep facts tied to sources instead of mixing them into freeform notes.

Workflow

  1. Define the research question and inclusion criteria.
  2. Collect sources with date, author, and relevance notes.
  3. Separate direct evidence from inference.
  4. Group findings by theme, agreement, and contradiction.
  5. Track unanswered questions and missing source types explicitly.

Deliverable

  • Source table.
  • Key findings.
  • Contradictions.
  • Open questions.
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.
