Getting it into your agent

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 | $0.00000 | $0.06821 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.03410 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01364 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00682 |
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 10d 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 — 519 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Workflow — Full Pipeline
Description
Runs the complete research pipeline: Brainstorming → Planning → Implementation → Testing & Visualization → Reporting. Orchestrates all phases with user checkpoints between each.
Usage
/research "research topic" [--domain physics|ai_ml|statistics|mathematics|paper] [--weights '{"novelty":0.4,...}'|adaptive] [--depth low|medium|high|max] [--personas N] [--claude-only] [--substitute "Gemini -> Opus"] [--resume <output_dir>]
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS— The research topic (required) and optional flags:--domain— Research domain (physics, ai_ml, statistics, mathematics, paper). Auto-inferred if omitted.--weights— Scoring mode for direction ranking:- Omitted (default): Holistic ranking — Claude ranks directions by expert judgment with detailed rationale. No numeric weights.
- JSON object: Weighted scoring with dimension weights summing to 1.0.
adaptive: Claude analyzes the prompt and recommends weights for user confirmation. See/research-brainstormfor full details.
--depth— Controls brainstorm review depth (default:medium):low— Skip cross-review, go directly to synthesis (fastest, lowest cost)medium— Standard one-shot cross-review (default)high— Cross-review + adversarial debate (most thorough, highest cost)max— Hierarchical MAGI-in-MAGI: N persona subagents run parallel mini-MAGI pipelines, then meta-review + adversarial debate across all perspectives (deepest, highest cost)
--personas N|auto— Number of domain-specialist subagents for--depth max(default:auto, range: 2-4). Whenauto, Claude analyzes the topic to determine the optimal persona count. Ignored for other depth levels.--claude-only— Replace all Gemini/Codex MCP calls with Claude Agent subagents across all phases. Use when external model endpoints are unavailable. Forwarded to all sub-skills automatically.--substitute "Agent -> Opus"— Replace a specific MAGI agent with Claude (Opus). Accepted:"Gemini -> Opus","Codex -> Opus". Can be specified multiple times. Forwarded to all sub-skills. If both agents are substituted, equivalent to--claude-only. Mutually exclusive with--claude-only(--claude-onlytakes precedence).--resume <output_dir>— Resume an interrupted pipeline from a previous output directory. See Resume Protocol below.
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Axect/magi-researchers (13 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 6,821 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.

video-perception
Use when the user mentions a video file (.mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm), a YouTube URL, asks to watch/analyze/review a video, or references video content in conversation.
antigravity
Run the Antigravity CLI (Gemini) as a collaborating AI inside Claude Code, with intelligent model routing across the software development lifecycle. Claude is the conductor/orchestrator — requirements, architecture, the hard 20%, verification, and review — and routes deterministic, high-volume work (scaffolding…
notebook-kb
Use the notebook knowledge base (the local SQLite RAG /agy:notebook builds from a folder of documents) to do precise, grounded, cited work — total amounts by category, find every doc that mentions a person/organization, build a timeline, export a table — instead of re-reading prose and burning Claude's context.…
gemini-imagegen
Use when the user asks to generate, create, draw, edit, or restyle an image, or when a task needs image assets — logos, icons, illustrations, hero images, textures, photos, placeholder art, social/OG cards. Claude cannot produce raster images; a Gemini session via the agy (Antigravity) CLI has a generateimage tool…
