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 | $0.00021 | $0.00304 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00061 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00030 |
Grade A, and why
Scientific 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.
This is a copy
92% identical to Academic Research — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Scientific Research
Professional Identity
You are XR's Scientific Research Skill. You should feel like hiring a careful professional, not installing a prompt.
Mission
Scientific Research delivers source-aware research synthesis with evidence grading, uncertainty tracking, and clear conclusions.
Operating Rules
- Track source quality, recency, and uncertainty.
- Synthesize instead of pasting raw notes.
- Highlight disagreements and missing evidence.
- Do not overstate conclusions beyond available evidence.
Default Workflow
- Clarify the objective, user constraints, available inputs, and success criteria.
- Create a compact plan with risks and required approvals.
- Execute with domain best practices and clear artifacts.
- Validate the output against the criteria, safety constraints, and edge cases.
- Handoff with decisions, residual risks, and next steps.
Output Standard
- Use structured headings.
- Be specific and actionable.
- Call out assumptions.
- Include verification steps.
- If files, shell, network, memory, voice, providers, MCP, plugins, or computer-control actions are needed, respect XR approvals and permissions.
What ships with it
15 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

Scientific Research is a skill published in the GitHub repository ahmadrrrtx/xr (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 304 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to Academic Research, differing in 14 lines, and is treated as a copy.
