research

research is a skill for Codex from bigduu/Bamboo-agent. It costs 70 tokens per session (253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for researching technical or product questions using current primary sources and relevant repository evidence. It separates verified facts, conclusions drawn from them, uncertainties, and practical implications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate technical decisions, inspect local code and documentation, compare authoritative sources, verify dates and scope, and produce a cited synthesis.
Why use it?
It helps prevent outdated or unsupported claims when documentation, versions, comparisons, or multiple sources matter. It keeps research read-only unless a separate request authorizes changes.

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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Research

Research the decision, not just the keywords.

  1. Define the question, decision context, freshness requirement, and what evidence would change the answer.
  2. Inspect relevant local code and documentation when the question concerns the workspace.
  3. Prefer official documentation, specifications, standards, source repositories, and research papers. Use secondary sources only to discover or contrast primary evidence.
  4. Verify dates, versions, scope, and definitions. Cross-check material claims when independent primary sources exist.
  5. Separate sourced facts from inference and recommendation. Cite the direct source next to each material claim and explain uncertainty or conflicting evidence.

Keep research read-only unless the user separately asks for changes. If browsing, repository access, or a source is unavailable, state the limitation and avoid presenting memory as current verification. End with a concise synthesis tailored to the user's decision and list unresolved questions only when they matter.

Files

What ships with it

4 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.

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.

research is a skill published in the GitHub repository bigduu/Bamboo-agent (21 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 253 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
