king-context: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/king-research/SKILL.md

king-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deandevz/king-context. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow that builds a searchable collection of online sources about a topic. It can gather papers, blog posts, discussions, and other web material, then organize and index it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to survey a topic, find sources, or build a research corpus for later searching. It is also suited to reviewing the state of the art in an area.
Why use it?
It removes the need to collect, split, enrich, export, and index research sources as separate manual tasks. It is intended for broad topic research rather than reading one specific documentation site.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is deandevz/king-context's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on king-context itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything king-context configures →

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

king-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.

King Research — Topic Research Skill

Invoke king-research to build a research corpus on any topic. The user describes what they want; you extract the topic, pick the effort mode, and run the pipeline.


When to use this skill

User wants... Use
Sources on an open-web topic (papers, blog posts, discussions) king-research (this skill)
A specific product/API doc site scraped scraper-workflow (king-scrape)
To query already-indexed content king-context (kctx search)

If the user already mentions a URL or a specific product's docs, hand off to scraper-workflow.


Step 1: Extract the topic

Pull the topic from the user's message as a concise phrase (2–6 words).

Rules:

  • Strip filler: "please", "por favor", "pode fazer", "quero que", "me faça".
  • Keep semantic qualifiers: "for RAG pipelines", "in production", "2025".
  • Prefer the user's wording over paraphrase.
  • Quote multi-word topics when passing to the CLI.

If the topic is vague (e.g. "faz um research aí", "pesquise algo"), ask ONE clarifying question before running: "What topic?"


Step 2: Pick the effort mode

Explicit signals (override inference)

Signal in the user's message Mode
"rápido", "quick", "basic", "só uma ideia", "overview", "simples" --basic
(no qualifier) --medium (default)
"detalhado", "aprofundado", "profundo", "detailed", "in-depth", "completo" --high
"exaustivo", "estado da arte", "thorough", "comprehensive", "state of the art", "máximo", "tudo que tiver" --extrahigh

Inferred from complexity (when no explicit signal)

Topic shape Mode
Narrow, well-known (e.g. "httpx timeouts") --basic
Standard technical topic (e.g. "prompt caching strategies") --medium (default)
Broad or comparative (e.g. "RAG vs fine-tuning") --high
Bleeding-edge / multi-domain survey (e.g. "mixture of experts state of the art 2025") --extrahigh

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.
