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-synthesis-brief 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 11d 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 Synthesis Brief

Workflow

  1. Identify research question, audience, decision context, source set, and time sensitivity.
  2. Extract claims, evidence, methods, dates, limitations, contradictions, and source quality signals.
  3. Separate what is known, what is inferred, what conflicts, and what remains unknown.
  4. Synthesize findings into decision-relevant implications rather than source-by-source summaries.
  5. Produce a brief with confidence levels, caveats, and recommended next actions.

Output Standard

Use this structure by default:

  • Research Question: what the brief answers.
  • Bottom Line: concise answer with confidence level.
  • Key Findings: claims with evidence and caveats.
  • Evidence Table: source, claim supported, strength, limitation.
  • Contradictions / Gaps: conflicts, missing data, and uncertainty.
  • Decision Implications: what the findings mean for action.
  • Recommended Next Steps: follow-up research, validation, or decision path.

Rules

  • Do not cite or rely on sources not provided unless the user asks for external research.
  • Label confidence and uncertainty explicitly.
  • Do not flatten conflicting evidence into a false consensus.
  • Keep source-grounding clear enough for a human reviewer to audit.

References

Read references/evidence-rubric.md when the user asks for evidence grading, confidence scoring, contradiction handling, or decision implications.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
