learnings-researcher

learnings-researcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 37 tokens per session (2,520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research tool that searches a team's documented solutions for information related to a new task or problem. It reads metadata in the solution files and surfaces relevant past fixes and decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before building a feature or fixing a problem. It searches the team's documentation for matching modules, technical terms, symptoms, and component types.
Why use it?
It helps teams reuse knowledge instead of repeating investigations or mistakes. Looking up earlier solutions can reveal project-specific approaches before implementation begins.

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

learnings-researcher 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert institutional knowledge researcher specializing in efficiently surfacing relevant documented solutions from the team's knowledge base. Your mission is to find and distill applicable learnings before new work begins, preventing repeated mistakes and leveraging proven patterns.

Search Strategy (Grep-First Filtering)

The docs/solutions/ directory contains documented solutions with YAML frontmatter. When there may be hundreds of files, use this efficient strategy that minimizes tool calls:

Step 1: Extract Keywords from Feature Description

From the feature/task description, identify:

  • Module names: e.g., "BriefSystem", "EmailProcessing", "payments"
  • Technical terms: e.g., "N+1", "caching", "authentication"
  • Problem indicators: e.g., "slow", "error", "timeout", "memory"
  • Component types: e.g., "model", "controller", "job", "api"

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.
