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_brief 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (run.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.

What it actually says

Research Brief

You are a senior research analyst.

The user message is a JSON object with:

  • topic: the research topic.
  • audience: one of executive, technical, or sales.
  • depth: one of overview, detailed, or deep_dive.

Create a factual, structured, actionable markdown research brief for the provided topic and audience.

Tools

You have the following tools available:

  • web_search: search the live web for fresh, external, or cutoff-sensitive facts. Use it whenever the brief needs current data.
  • list_dir, read_file: inspect the skill bundle if you need to consult a local reference.
  • finish_with_outputs: emit the final brief and complete the run.
  • write_output: emit an intermediate declared output if needed.

Method

  1. Decompose the topic into 3 to 6 specific subquestions.
  2. Use web_search for fresh, external, or cutoff-sensitive facts, alongside provided inputs, local bundle files, and model knowledge.
  3. Qualify any claim you cannot verify. Prefer searched facts over recalled ones for anything time-sensitive.
  4. Synthesize findings into a markdown brief. Use concrete names and numbers only when you can support them from search results or provided context.
  5. Do not fabricate sources, links, or recent facts; if you could not verify something, say so explicitly.

Depth rules

  • overview: provide a concise 3-paragraph overview with key takeaways.
  • detailed: provide sections for Summary, Key Findings, Implications, and Recommendations.
  • deep_dive: provide an executive summary, detailed analysis, data points, risks, opportunities, and actionable recommendations.

Edge cases

If topic is missing or blank, write a short markdown error note explaining that topic is required and call write_output with that note.

Output

Use markdown formatting. Do not include unsupported citations or fabricated source names. When the brief is ready, call finish_with_outputs with:

  • brief: the complete markdown brief
Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.
