super-research

super-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from evoelsewhere/evoflux. It costs 199 tokens per session (2,671 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of super-research, Apache-2.0.

A disciplined workflow for long-running research using repeated experiments, comparisons, and investigations. It requires a clear goal, a starting baseline, measurable evidence, and records that let someone check the work later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for benchmark comparisons, ablation studies, root-cause investigations, quantitative analyses, and reproducing research papers.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported conclusions and makes results comparable and auditable across multiple attempts.

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

super-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/fetch_paper.py, scripts/paper_search.py, scripts/verify_citation.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Autonomous Research

The value of this skill is not the specific procedure — it is the property that research work done under it is comparable, honest, and auditable. Ten cheap experiments, queries, or analyses done to the same standard beat one clever untested claim. This is what lets a human check in eight hours later and trust what they see.

The method is distilled from Karpathy's autoresearch and generalized to eight research modes.

Shared discipline (all modes)

Every mode operates under the same five rules. Read them before branching into a mode.

  1. State a contract before you begin. Infer everything you can from the workspace and the request, then write down the goal, the primary output, and the stopping condition, and get one confirmation. This is your last question. After confirmation you are autonomous.

  2. Establish a baseline as your first artifact. Every mode has a version of "the answer without any of my work" — the unmodified code, the first three sources found, the raw dataset before any transformation. Record it first. Without a baseline, "better" and "significant" are meaningless.

  3. Log every step in a machine-readable file, including failures. A tab-separated log (TSV, not CSV — descriptions contain commas) with a header row and one row per attempt. Failed attempts get a crash / dead-end / inconclusive status. Silently discarding attempts is the fastest way to fool yourself and the user; the log is the evidence that the work happened.

  4. Never pause to ask permission mid-loop. Once the contract is confirmed, do not stop to check in, propose stopping at a "natural break", or ask "should I keep going?". The human may be asleep and expects to wake up to a full log. The loop ends only at the agreed stopping condition or a manual interruption. This is the single most common failure mode of autonomous runs.

  5. Never game the metric, the sources, or the analysis. Do not edit the eval code because it is "clearly wrong". Do not drop a source because it does not fit the thesis. Do not p-hack or cherry-pick a subset that gives a nicer number. If the ground truth looks wrong, log the concern in the description column and keep going — the human decides later.
