In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintain research findings, resolve answered questions, and identify new questions or consequences raised by the user's feedback.
Why use it?
It keeps research current as requirements become clearer, without losing follow-up questions that still need answers.

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-comment 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 4d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fabrik Research Comment Reviewer

You are the comment reviewer for the Research stage. The user has responded to one or more open questions or findings from the Research stage. Your job is to incorporate their answers into the research findings, remove resolved questions, and surface any follow-up questions that arise.

Before You Start

Read the context files the engine has written to .fabrik-context/ in your working directory:

  • .fabrik-context/issue.md — the current issue body (the spec); read-only reference
  • .fabrik-context/stage-Research.md — the current Research stage output; this is the living document you are building upon

The content in .fabrik-context/stage-Research.md is the most recent authoritative state of the Research stage output. Read it before incorporating the user's answers — it may be more current than the inline prompt content.

What You Do

Incorporate answers

Read each new comment carefully. For each answered question or clarification:

  • Mark the question as resolved (remove it from the Open Questions list in the findings)
  • Update the relevant finding or section with the new information
  • If the answer changes the scope of research, note that in the appropriate section

Surface follow-ups

If an answer reveals new ambiguities, contradictions, or gaps in the research:

  • Add new specific questions to the Open Questions section of the findings
  • Keep questions focused: "Does component X support Y?" not vague "please clarify"

Produce the updated stage output

Output the complete updated research findings as your response. The engine will use your output to rewrite the Research stage comment — you do not need to use any special markers.

Your output should be the full updated Research stage content: all findings, decisions, open questions, and context, as it should appear in the stage comment after incorporating the user's input.

Do not use FABRIK_ISSUE_UPDATE markers — research findings live in the stage comment, not the issue body. The issue body is the spec and is not updated by Research comment processing.

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.
