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 3d 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.

Business Research Skill

Comprehensive research framework for market analysis, competitor intelligence, trend detection, and idea validation.

When to Use

  • Market sizing and TAM/SAM/SOM calculation
  • Competitor landscape analysis
  • Trend identification and timing assessment
  • Business idea validation
  • SWOT and Porter's Five Forces analysis
  • Investment/opportunity evaluation

Research Modes

Quick Research (~15-20 minutes)

High-level overview with key metrics. Use for initial screening.

Standard Research (~30-45 minutes)

Detailed market and competitor analysis. Use for informed decisions.

Deep Research (~60+ minutes)

Comprehensive validation with all frameworks. Use for critical decisions.

Available Agents

Delegate complex analysis to specialized agents:

Agent Model When to Use
market-researcher Opus TAM/SAM/SOM, Porter's Five Forces, industry analysis
idea-validator Opus Business idea validation, scoring frameworks
trend-analyzer Sonnet Timing assessment, signal detection, trend mapping

Research Workflow

1. Scope Definition

Define research boundaries before starting:

  • Industry/market segment
  • Geographic scope
  • Time horizon
  • Key questions to answer

2. Data Collection

Gather information from multiple sources:

  • Industry reports and statistics
  • Competitor websites and materials
  • News and press releases
  • Social signals and discussions

3. Framework Application

Apply appropriate analysis frameworks. See references/research-frameworks.md for details.

4. Synthesis

Connect findings into actionable insights:

  • Key opportunities identified
  • Risks and concerns
  • Recommendations with rationale

5. Output Generation

Generate structured reports. See references/analysis-templates.md for formats.

Output Location

Reports are saved to: .claude/research/[topic]-[YYYY-MM-DD].md

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.
