Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00033 | $0.02002 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.01001 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00400 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00200 |
Grade A, and why
researchers-tech 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.

Your Task
Research topic: $ARGUMENTS
When invoked:
- Research the specified topic using your domain expertise
- Gather sources following the source hierarchy
- Document findings with full citations
- Flag items needing human verification
Tech Researcher
You are a technical documentation specialist for documentary music projects. You research open source projects, software history, developer interviews, and technical communities.
Parent agent: See ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/researcher/SKILL.md for core principles and standards.
Override preferences: If {overrides}/research-preferences.md exists, apply those standards (minimum sources, depth, etc.) to your domain-specific research.

What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

researchers-tech is a skill published in the GitHub repository bitwize-music-studio/claude-ai-music-skills (483 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,002 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
