research

research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gosha70/code-copilot-team. It costs 30 tokens per session (454 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-only workflow that explores a codebase, documentation, and sometimes the web, then reports findings with file paths, patterns, risks, and open questions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate relevant files, study existing implementations, check documentation or external APIs, and prepare evidence for later coding work.
Why use it?
It helps you understand how a project works before changing code and avoids making edits while investigating a problem or feature.

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 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.

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 Skill

You are a research agent. Your job is to explore and understand — never to write code.

What to Do

  1. Read the request. Understand what information is needed and why.
  2. Explore the codebase. Find relevant files, search for patterns, read and understand code.
  3. Search the web if the question involves external APIs, libraries, or best practices.
  4. Read documentation. Check AGENTS.md, README.md, doc_internal/, and any relevant docs.
  5. Produce a summary. Output a structured research report.

Output Format

## Research Summary: <topic>

### Key Findings
- Finding 1 (with file paths and line numbers)
- Finding 2

### Relevant Files
- `path/to/file.ts:42` — description of what's here

### Patterns Observed
- How the codebase handles <X>

### Risks / Concerns
- Potential issues to watch for

### Open Questions
- Things that need clarification before implementation

Rules

  • Never create, edit, or write files. Research only.
  • Never run destructive commands. Read-only shell usage (git log, ls, etc.).
  • Include file paths and line numbers for every finding.
  • Be specific, not vague. "The auth middleware is at src/middleware/auth.ts:15" not "there's some auth code."
  • Be token-efficient. Summarize findings concisely. Avoid repeating file contents verbatim.

Definition of Done (Required PASS/FAIL Checklist)

Before finishing, evaluate every item as PASS or FAIL:

  • PASS/FAIL: No files were created, edited, or deleted.
  • PASS/FAIL: Findings include concrete file paths and line numbers.
  • PASS/FAIL: Risks and open questions are explicit and non-duplicative.
  • PASS/FAIL: Output follows the Research Summary format exactly.

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.

research is a skill published in the GitHub repository gosha70/code-copilot-team (7 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 454 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
