template-deep-research

template-deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from docxology/template. It costs 65 tokens per session (815 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured research workflow for finding, checking, and combining academic sources. It can also turn a broad topic into a focused research question.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a literature collection, review papers, fact-check manuscript claims, or plan a systematic review with clear inclusion and exclusion rules.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of organizing searches, checking references, and deciding which sources belong in a review. It helps keep research records such as queries, dates, and identifiers.

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

template-deep-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 4d 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.

Deep research

Template-native research workflow. This skill routes to existing repository systems instead of running an autonomous external agent suite.

Natural invoke

  • "Research this topic and build the source corpus"
  • "Do a literature review with citation keys"
  • "Fact-check these manuscript claims"
  • "Guide me from vague research interest to answerable question"
  • "Plan a systematic review with inclusion and exclusion criteria"

Inputs to confirm

  • Research goal - question, audience, and expected deliverable.
  • Mode - full, quick, lit-review, fact-check, guided, or systematic-review.
  • Corpus source - arXiv, Crossref, local JSON corpus, provided papers, or project artifacts.
  • Project target - if results feed a manuscript, use docs/_generated/active_projects.md.

Workflow

  1. Question framing - turn vague topics into scoped research questions, explicit in/out boundaries, and search terms. Guided mode asks before converging.
  2. Source discovery - use infrastructure.search.literature and project-local corpora; record query, backend, date, DOI/arXiv IDs, and failures.
  3. Source verification - resolve every candidate reference against Crossref / OpenAlex / arXiv with the deterministic reference-existence gate before it enters the corpus; reject fabricated/mismatch records, surface unverifiable/unchecked honestly, and never invent unavailable bibliographic fields. This is the tier-0 anti-leakage step: flag the gap, do not hallucinate the citation.
  4. Synthesis - hand off to literature-synthesis for per-paper notes, thematic clusters, contradictions, and gap analysis.
  5. Claim bridge - when research supports manuscript prose, create citekey-linked notes that manuscript-claim-verification can audit later.

Deliverables

  • Research brief: question, scope, search strategy, corpus table, and evidence gaps.
  • Literature synthesis with bracket-key citations and source-tier notes.
  • Fact-check report: claim, source, verdict, uncertainty, action.
  • For systematic review mode: protocol draft, inclusion/exclusion criteria, screening counts, and limitations.

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.
