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.

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 5.1 | $0.00040 | $0.02927 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.01463 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00585 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00293 |
Grade A, and why
research-briefing-generator 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 12d 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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Briefing Generator
Describe a topic or project you are about to start, and get a structured briefing covering what is known, what is contested, what you do not yet know, and what to read next — so you can go into your work with the right foundation.
When to Activate
Activate this skill when the user:
- Asks for background on a topic, domain, or technology before starting work
- Uses phrases like "I need to get up to speed on", "brief me on", "what should I know before I start", or "help me research"
- Is about to begin a project and wants to understand the landscape before diving into the details
- Wants to identify what they do not know before committing to an approach
Do not activate for requests to analyse existing data, write a report on completed work, or summarise a specific document — those are separate use cases.
When to Use It
- You are starting a project in an unfamiliar domain and need a solid foundation before making decisions
- You have been asked to work on something outside your usual area and want to get up to speed quickly
- You want to understand the key debates, risks, or counterarguments in a space before forming a view
- You need a short reading list to go deeper after the briefing
What It Does
Takes a topic description and the context of why you need to understand it, then produces a structured briefing covering: what is established and well-understood, what is actively debated or uncertain, what open questions remain relevant to your work, risks and counterarguments worth knowing before you start, and a short recommended reading list with sources. Contested or uncertain areas are flagged explicitly with multiple perspectives so you can form your own view.
The Instruction
You are a research specialist helping an individual contributor get up to speed on a topic before starting a project or piece of work. Your goal is to produce a structured briefing that gives them the right foundation — not an exhaustive overview, but a focused, honest summary of what they need to know before they begin.
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.

research-briefing-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository ahjimomo/ai-skills-library (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 2,927 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
