omniseek-investigate

omniseek-investigate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Battam1111/omniseek. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,439 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A methodology for carrying out detailed research with OmniSeek, a search and evidence-gathering system. It organizes research into broad searching, focused follow-up, and structured evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-step investigations that require parallel searches, identity matching, paper enrichment, talk transcripts, or evidence graphs.
Why use it?
It helps turn scattered search results into a judged, traceable investigation while identifying sources that need deeper checking.

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

omniseek-investigate 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 13d 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.

/omniseek-investigate

Deep investigation METHODOLOGY for OmniSeek. Teaches judgment patterns for composing retrieval primitives into multi-step evidence gathering. Tool facts (signals, handles, _meta, evidence graph schema, walled source mechanics) are in the server instructions, not here. This skill teaches HOW to use those facts well.

1. The 3-turn rhythm (sweep, zoom, structure)

Every deep investigation follows the same beat:

WAVE 1 (sweep): fire several independent tools in parallel via omniseek_gather. A broad omniseek_search plus any tools whose results you need to make your first judgment call (e.g. omniseek_resolve_identity for a person question, omniseek_field_skeleton for a field question). One round-trip, all results at once.

Judge: read Phase A signals, handles, and _meta (per server instructions sections 3-5). Decide what to zoom on: which walled sources from excluded_relevant to chase, which identities to map, which papers to enrich, which talks to transcribe.

WAVE 2 (zoom): fire follow-ups via omniseek_gather, informed by WAVE 1 signals.

Structure: build an evidence graph from your findings (per server instructions section 6).

2. Investigation starting points

These are STARTING POINTS. Adapt, skip, extend based on what you find.

Person due-diligence

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_resolve_identity. WAVE 2: omniseek_coauthors + omniseek_paper_enrich + walled chase + omniseek_transcribe. Key judgment: coauthor network reveals structural position; walled sources reveal candid views.

Lab / research group evaluation

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_institution_cohort. WAVE 2: omniseek_field_skeleton + omniseek_coauthors(top PI) + omniseek_paper_enrich + walled chase. Key judgment: cohort shows who publishes there; citation neighborhood shows where they sit.

Field / topic mapping

WAVE 1: omniseek_search + omniseek_field_skeleton. WAVE 2: omniseek_paper_recommend + omniseek_paper_enrich + omniseek_transcribe. Key judgment: identify consensus core (high in_degree), frontier (recent, citing core), controversy.
