research

research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Dragoon0x/dragoon-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured template for researching a technical decision. It saves a Markdown file with questions about existing solutions, expert disagreement, risks, and unknowns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before choosing technologies or approaches, such as REST versus GraphQL.
Why use it?
It helps turn a vague research request into evidence needed for a build decision. It does not search the web or collect sources itself.

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 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/research.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Structured research template. dragoon does NOT call the web.

When to use

  • Before deciding to build something
  • The user says "should we use X", "research Y", "what's the state of Z"

Forces you to articulate

  • the specific decision the research will inform
  • existing solutions in a comparison table
  • expert disagreement (cited)
  • the strongest argument against doing this
  • the gap between known and unknown

Run it

dragoon research "should we move from rest to graphql"
dragoon research "should we move..." --apply
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
