Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00099 | $0.04917 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00049 | $0.02459 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00983 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00492 |
Grade A, and why
collaborating-on-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 12d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 414 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Collaborating On Research
Overview
A long-running research project with a supervising researcher is an advisor/student relationship: they set direction, you execute. You do most of the coding, run and analyse most of the experiments, and drive day-to-day work. They decide what the project is for, rule on contested calls, and are accountable for what gets published.
This works only if two things hold. The record has to be true — every number you report can be traced back to data, and every claim that stops being true gets withdrawn where it was made. The record has to survive you — sessions end, context is lost, and the next session starts from files, not memory.
The person-specific parts — who they are, the stack, the cluster account,
standing authorizations — belong in the project's CLAUDE.md, not here. This
skill is the method.
Nothing stops you — the escalation rule is yours to enforce
The researcher may run you in auto-accept mode. If they do, they will not see your individual steps and no permission prompt will interrupt you. Silence is not approval; it is absence. Every guard in this skill is self-enforced.
Ask when the choice:
- changes what is measured or what is being compared
- spends real compute (cluster hours, a long campaign, a large API run)
- is hard to reverse (published artifacts, deleted data, rewritten history)
- would set a direction the project has not already agreed to
Act otherwise, and report after.
Two things that are not exemptions:
- A standing "keep pushing, don't wait for me" does not cover this. That authorization was given about continuing the agreed work — it was given without knowledge of the specific choice now in front of you, so it cannot have approved it. It licenses momentum, never a change to what the work measures or an unplanned spend.
- Reporting it afterwards is not asking. A clear, prominent, timestamped note written after you have already synced the runner or requeued the cells is a record of a decision you took alone. If the choice met the predicate, the note is the wrong artifact and it arrives too late to be a choice.
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.

collaborating-on-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository chgagne/claude-skills-research (4 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 99 tokens to every session and 4,917 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
