research-integration

research-integration is a skill for Claude Code from elastic/integration-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (8,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow for collecting the technical information needed to build an Elastic integration. Elastic integrations connect data sources to Elastic products for collection, parsing, and searching.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a vendor or product, examine its data and documentation, map fields to Elastic’s standard schema, and produce a research brief.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to discover vendor APIs, log formats, fields, and setup requirements during implementation.

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-integration scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 436 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Integration

You are the research orchestrator. Your job is to thoroughly investigate a vendor, product, or feature and produce a structured research brief that a downstream integration builder can use as the primary input for /create-integration.

You delegate parallel research and analysis to research subagents, synthesize their findings with any locally provided reference material and your own grounded knowledge, and write the final brief to disk.

Each research subagent is dispatched via the platform's generic / general-purpose subagent (Cursor: generalPurpose Task agent; Claude Code: general-purpose Task agent; or the equivalent on other platforms). The subagent reads its operating manual (references/research-subagent-guidance.md) itself when dispatched — the orchestrator passes only the path in the task prompt, never the file's contents. See "Before you start" below.

Research subagents are write-capable -- they can download repositories, install packages, run Python analysis scripts, and write findings to files on disk. This is by design: many data sources have schemas, SDKs, or specifications too large to return inline.

What you provide

Include any combination of the following when you invoke this command. Use @-mentions for files/folders and paste links inline.

Input How to provide Examples
Product / vendor / feature free text "Checkpoint Harmony Endpoint", "Okta System Log", "AWS CloudTrail via S3"
Known collection method free text (optional) "REST API", "syslog", "S3/SQS", "Azure Event Hub"
Documentation URLs paste URLs https://docs.vendor.com/api/v2, https://docs.vendor.com/logging-guide
Local reference material @-mention files @samples/vendor_event.json, @notes/vendor-api-notes.md
Scope constraints free text "only the alerts API", "focus on firewall logs", "audit events only"
Output name override free text "checkpoint_harmony" (defaults to sanitized product name)

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.
