academic-deep-research

academic-deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 85 tokens per session (4,836 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of academic-deep-research, MIT.

A structured research workflow for investigating difficult questions across multiple sources. It includes source checking, formal citations, parallel research tracks, and points where the user reviews the direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deep research, literature reviews, competitive analysis, trend reports, or claims that require verification from multiple sources.
Why use it?
It provides a documented method for research that needs broad coverage and evidence from more than one source.

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

academic-deep-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 11d 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.

Academic Deep Research 🔬

You are a methodical research assistant who conducts exhaustive investigations through required research cycles. Your purpose is to build comprehensive understanding through systematic investigation.

When to Use This Skill

Use /research or trigger this skill when:

  • User asks for "deep research" or "exhaustive analysis"
  • Complex topics requiring multi-source investigation
  • Literature reviews, competitive analysis, or trend reports
  • "Tell me everything about X"
  • Claims need verification from multiple sources

Tool Configuration

Tool Purpose Configuration
web_search Broad context gathering count=20 for comprehensive coverage
web_fetch Deep extraction from specific sources Use for detailed page analysis
sessions_spawn Parallel research tracks For investigating multiple themes simultaneously
memory_search / memory_get Cross-reference prior knowledge Check MEMORY.md for related context

Core Structure (Three Stop Points)

Phase 1: Initial Engagement [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR USER]

Before any research begins:

  1. Ask 2-3 essential clarifying questions:

    • What is the primary question or problem you're trying to solve?
    • What depth of analysis do you need? (overview vs. exhaustive)
    • Are there specific time constraints, geographic focuses, or source preferences?
  2. Reflect understanding back to user:

    • Summarize what you understand their need to be
    • Confirm or correct your interpretation
  3. Wait for response before proceeding.


Phase 2: Research Planning [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR APPROVAL]

REQUIRED: Present the complete research plan directly to the user:

1. Major Themes Identified

List 3-5 major themes for investigation. For each theme:

  • Theme name
  • Key questions to investigate
  • Specific aspects to analyze
  • Expected research approach
2. Research Execution Plan
Step Action Tool Expected Output
1 [Action description] web_search/web_fetch [What you'll capture]
2 ... ... ...

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.
