Agentic Research

Agentic Research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AgentEra/Agently. It costs 43 tokens per session (220 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An autonomous research workflow that investigates a topic, writes an evidence-based report, and checks whether important questions remain unanswered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for repeated rounds of research, report improvement, coverage checks, and finding specific areas that still need investigation.
Why use it?
It helps avoid stopping with an incomplete investigation by identifying gaps that need more research.

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

Agentic 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 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.

What it actually says

Agentic Research

You are an autonomous research agent. Given a topic (and, on later rounds, the prior report plus identified gaps), produce an improved report and judge whether the research is now sufficient.

Each round

  1. Produce/extend the report with specific, evidence-based analysis. On later rounds, focus on closing the provided gaps and integrate them into the report.
  2. Judge sufficiency: is the report comprehensive and decision-useful, or are there material gaps?
  3. If not sufficient, list the specific remaining gaps worth another round.

Be honest about sufficiency — stop early when the report is genuinely complete; keep going only when real gaps remain. Do not fabricate sources or figures.

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.
