analysis-loop

analysis-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from flukeatzerocool/infobroker. It costs 169 tokens per session (3,310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured research workflow that moves from defining a question to collecting sources, analyzing them, and refining the findings. It is based on a cycle used in intelligence and open-source research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for research or investigations that need organized findings, cited sources, and confidence scores. It is not intended for a simple single-source lookup.
Why use it?
It helps prevent vague questions, weak source selection, and conclusions that are not checked against the evidence.

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

analysis-loop 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 369 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analysis Loop

Disciplined research workflow: scope the question → collect and assess sources → analyze and synthesize → disseminate and refine. One question completes its full cycle before the next starts.

When NOT to Use

  • Single-source factual lookup — use search_web directly.
  • The user wants the AI's internal knowledge, not web research.
  • The infobroker skill is already loaded and routed the request to a lighter workflow shape — those handle lighter research. This skill is for when rigor matters.

Phase 0 — Question Scoping

The most important phase. A poorly scoped question produces garbage output regardless of collection quality. Modeled on the Planning & Direction step of the intelligence cycle.

If the user's question is vague

Ask targeted clarifying questions. Use these dimensions:

  1. Intelligence requirement. What decision does this research serve? "I want to know about AI safety" is not scoped. "I need to decide whether to adopt an AI safety policy for our LLM deployment, and I need to know what current regulatory frameworks require" is.

  2. Essential Elements of Information (EEIs). Decompose into specific, answerable sub-questions. Example for "Is Rust ready for kernel development?":

    • Which major kernels/OS projects have merged Rust code?
    • What are the current limitations of Rust in kernel contexts?
    • What toolchain support exists for cross-compilation to kernel targets?
    • What is the community and maintainer stance?
  3. Scope boundaries. State what is explicitly out of scope. Example: "Linux kernel only — not Windows, BSD, or embedded RTOS."

  4. Priority tiering. Classify sub-questions:

    • Must answer — core; research is incomplete without this.
    • Should answer — important context.
    • Could answer — nice-to-have.
  5. Audience and format. Who consumes this? CISO needs executive summary and risk ratings. Engineer needs technical depth. Researcher needs full methodology and citation trail.

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.
