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

deep-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 12d 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.

Deep Research

This skill enables an AI agent to perform rigorous, multi-step research on complex topics. Rather than returning a single search result, the agent decomposes the research question into sub-queries, gathers information from diverse source types (academic papers, industry reports, official documentation, news articles, and expert commentary), cross-references findings for consistency, and synthesizes everything into a structured, citation-backed report. The result is a thorough analysis that surfaces nuance, identifies conflicting viewpoints, and highlights knowledge gaps.

Workflow

  1. Decompose the Research Query: Break the user's high-level question into 3-6 targeted sub-queries that cover distinct facets of the topic. Each sub-query should address a specific angle such as historical context, current state, key players, technical details, or future outlook. This ensures broad coverage rather than shallow retrieval from a single search.

  2. Identify and Gather Sources: For each sub-query, search across multiple source categories: academic databases, official documentation, reputable news outlets, industry analyst reports, and community forums. Aim for at least 2-3 sources per sub-query. Record the URL, publication date, author, and a relevance score for each source to enable later prioritization.

  3. Extract and Organize Key Findings: Read each source and extract the core claims, data points, statistics, and expert opinions. Organize findings into a structured outline grouped by theme or sub-query. Tag each finding with its source for traceability.

  4. Cross-Reference and Validate: Compare findings across sources to identify consensus, contradictions, and gaps. Flag any claims that appear in only one source or that conflict with the majority of evidence. Note the recency and authority of each source when resolving disagreements.

  5. Synthesize the Report: Combine validated findings into a coherent narrative. Structure the report with an executive summary, detailed sections for each theme, a discussion of limitations and open questions, and a full reference list. Use clear headings and bullet points for readability.

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.
