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_idea.format 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 yesterday.

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

Goal

  • Given a file <FILE> with raw information about a research idea, apply the research idea template and write the result back into <FILE>

Workflow

Read the Inputs

  • Read <FILE>
  • Read the template .claude/templates/research_idea.template.md
  • Read # Examples in .claude/skills/research_idea.rules.md for a worked example

Apply the Template

  • Map the content of <FILE> onto the template sections (Status, Core Idea, Formalization, Key Examples, Questions, Research Topics, Next steps, Implementation plan, References)
  • Remove or fill every template placeholder bullet. Fill from the idea's own content
  • Do not invent facts, results, or citations. Write only what follows from the idea (e.g., mark a hypothetical example as illustrative)
  • Do not add an Assignee field. Assignees live only in the README table
  • Write references as Author(s), _Title_. (Year)
  • Replace the previous content of <FILE> with the result

Conventions

  • Follow .claude/skills/research_idea.rules.md

Constraints

  • Keep the file name and its status prefix. Formatting does not change status
  • Fit text in 85 character lines, per .claude/skills/research_idea.rules.md

Examples

  • research/ideas/in_progress.RL_for_pickleball.md

Verification

  • <FILE> follows the section order of .claude/templates/research_idea.template.md
  • No template placeholder text is left in the file
  • No fabricated facts or citations were added
  • No Assignee line; references use Author(s), _Title_. (Year)
  • Lines fit in 85 characters

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.
