A research brief built from current source articles about a chosen topic. It collects sources, groups them by theme, extracts useful facts and data, and suggests angles for later content.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research topics before writing articles, blog posts, comparisons, product-launch coverage, and other content that needs real sources and data.

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

content-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 9d 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 391 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Content Research Brief

Research a topic by collecting 5-10 real source articles, auto-tagging them by theme, extracting key data points, and synthesizing unique content angles. The output is a structured research brief that any downstream content skill can consume.

The problem this solves: Most AI-written affiliate content is generic because it's written from the model's training data — not from real, current sources. This skill forces research-first content creation: find real articles, extract real data, then write from those sources. The result is content with specific stats, real quotes, and current information that readers (and Google) actually value.

Inspired by the content-pipeline approach: Topic → Search → Select sources → Synthesize → Write with context.

Stage

This skill belongs to Stage S2: Content — but acts as the research foundation for all content skills.

When to Use

  • Before writing any article, blog post, or long-form content
  • When you need current data and stats about a topic (not just AI-generated claims)
  • When creating comparison content (need real feature/pricing data from sources)
  • When writing about a product launch, funding round, or industry trend
  • After trending-content-scout identifies a topic — research it deeper
  • When you want unique angles: N sources → N different content pieces

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.
