A document generator that builds performance-review summaries from evidence such as project notes, pull requests, and self-recorded achievements.

Use it to prepare self-reviews, manager briefs, peer assessments, and evidence-based team reviews.

It gathers scattered evidence into a review document instead of making you compile it by hand.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00073	$0.03029
Opus 5	$0.00036	$0.01515
Sonnet 5	$0.00015	$0.00606
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00303

Measured 7d ago against content hash f6d0eb02d5ec, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-10, from the pricing page.

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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Skill

API Keys Required

This skill works best with these optional API keys configured in ~/.env:

Feature	API Key	Get It From
Perplexity Research	`PERPLEXITY_API_KEY`	https://perplexity.ai/settings/api
Gemini Research	`GOOGLE_API_KEY`	https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey
BrightData Scraping	`BRIGHTDATA_API_KEY`	https://brightdata.com

Works without API keys:

Claude-based research (uses built-in WebSearch)
Basic web fetching (uses built-in WebFetch)
Fabric patterns (if Fabric CLI installed)

Workflow Routing

Multi-Source Research Workflows

When user requests comprehensive parallel research: Examples: "do research on X", "research this topic", "find information about Y", "investigate this subject" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/research/workflows/conduct.md → EXECUTE: Parallel multi-agent research using available researcher agents

When user requests Claude-based research (FREE - no API keys): Examples: "use claude for research", "claude research on X", "use websearch to research Y" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/research/workflows/claude-research.md → EXECUTE: Intelligent query decomposition with Claude's WebSearch

When user requests Perplexity research (requires PERPLEXITY_API_KEY): Examples: "use perplexity to research X", "perplexity research on Y" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/research/workflows/perplexity-research.md → EXECUTE: Fast web search with query decomposition via Perplexity API

When user requests interview preparation: Examples: "prepare interview questions for X", "interview research on Y" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/research/workflows/interview-research.md → EXECUTE: Interview prep with diverse question generation

Content Retrieval Workflows

When user indicates difficulty accessing content: Examples: "can't get this content", "site is blocking me", "CAPTCHA blocking" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/research/workflows/retrieve.md → EXECUTE: Escalation through layers (WebFetch → BrightData → Apify)

What ships with it

10 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 CarbeneAI/Forge (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 3,029 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
