research-redteam-loop

research-redteam-loop is a skill for Claude Code from chf3198/copilot-governance. It costs 55 tokens per session (1,180 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeated research and review process that produces a deliverable, has another model challenge it, and revises it until it reaches a required score or the iteration limit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for issue-specific research, corpus-overlap checks across open and closed issues, adversarial review, scoring, and repeated rework.
Why use it?
It catches missing evidence, overlap with other issues, and weak conclusions before a research result is accepted.

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-redteam-loop 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 6d 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.

Research Red-Team Loop Skill

Purpose

Bundles the proven research→adversarial-review→rework→consensus cycle (validated in #2710: 78→92→91→94 ACCEPT) into a single invocation. Fleet/free-cloud only. Cross-family invariant: reviewer MUST NOT be Anthropic/Claude family.

Invocation

/research-redteam-loop #N [--gate 93] [--web] [--cap 5]

Arguments: --gate N = minimum acceptance score (default 93). --web = inject web search evidence (default on; degrades gracefully). --cap N = max iterations.

Loop Protocol

  1. Produce/refresh the research deliverable for issue #N (read existing body or linked wiki page). 1a. Corpus-overlap stage (MANDATORY before ACCEPT — #2801). Run node scripts/global/corpus-overlap-scan.js --scope-file <deliverable> --json. It reuses the #2617 tokenizer but scans open AND closed issues (the near-miss #2518 was a closed epic) via overlap-coefficient. Embed buildOverlapBlock (related_tickets: + overlap_decision:) in the deliverable and inject reviewerOverlapFragment into the reviewer prompt so the red-team validates the boundary (overlap vs conflict vs redundancy vs gap). ACCEPT is blocked when shouldBlockAccept(scan, deliverable) is true (overlap present, no overlap_decision:). Distinct from #2617/Epic #2623 (ticket-CREATION stage).
  2. Web augmentation: fetch 3+ relevant references via WebSearch; inject into reviewer prompt. On search failure, log web-search-unavailable to ~/.megingjord/incidents.jsonl and continue without web context.
  3. Dispatch review (G3 fleet-first) — canonical CLI is cascade-dispatch.js (#2858 / Epic #2926 D1):
    • node scripts/global/cascade-dispatch.js --prompt "<review prompt>" --model qwen2.5-coder:32b [--json] — orchestrates fleet → free-cloud fallback → escalation; timeouts per timeout-policy.json. It already emits [cascade] escalate→<tier> to stderr on escalation.
    • On a fleet availability failure it fails over to the $0 free-cloud chain automatically (#2619/#2621); premium is reached only on a free-cloud capability failure (Epic #2926 D4).
    • fleet-red-team-dispatch.js is a LIBRARY (no CLI) — do NOT invoke it directly; it redirects here.
    • Cross-family invariant enforced at every tier (no Anthropic model).
  4. Score check: if score > gate and shouldBlockAccept is false → post ACCEPT and stop. If overlap blocks (no overlap_decision:), record the boundary and re-review. Else → post ITER comment and proceed to rework.
  5. Manager rework: revise deliverable using reviewer findings + web context.
  6. Repeat steps 2–5 until ACCEPT or cap exhausted → post REJECT.

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-redteam-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository chf3198/copilot-governance (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 1,180 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
