Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00066 | $0.01696 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00848 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00339 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
customize-easyresearch 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 today.
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 — 160 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Customizing EasyResearch
Inspect the effective configuration, change the smallest relevant layer, and preserve unrelated fields. Prefer Agent/Skill Markdown for behavior changes; use extensions only when configuration cannot express the requested behavior.
Configuration location and precedence
Global root: ~/.easyresearch/agent/. Project root:
<exact-session-cwd>/.easyresearch/. Paths below are relative to those roots.
| Configuration | Location and precedence |
|---|---|
| Agent definitions | Global agents/<id>.md over bundled Agents; project agents/ is ignored |
| Agent model/thinking | Global settings.json: easyresearch.agentDefaults.<id> only |
| Skills | Project skills/ > global skills/ > optional home ~/.agents/skills/ > bundled Skills |
| General settings | Project settings.json deep-merges over global, except global-only policies |
| Models and credentials | Global models.json and auth.json |
| Extensions, prompts, themes | Respective global/project directories and Pi settings resource entries |
Same-name Agent/Skill resources replace lower layers completely; distinct names
append. The optional home Skill layer requires global
easyresearch.enable_dot_agents_skill: true (default false).
Research Assistant.md aliases research-assistant.md; the primary filename
wins if both exist. Other built-ins use their primary filenames.
Never search ancestor directories, read ~/.pi or .lazypaper, migrate legacy
data, or create a separate config.json. EasyResearch does not read or write
trust.json. Bundled resources are fallbacks, not user edit targets: Web
Settings copies an Agent file or complete Skill directory into the global root
on edit. Preserve existing user copies.
For less common settings, extension authoring, Web APIs, or diagnostics, read Configuration reference only as needed.
Editing Agents and Skills
Agent definitions
Each Agent is a complete Markdown file: frontmatter configures capabilities; the body supplies the system prompt. Keep the name aligned with the file stem and provide a meaningful description. Example custom leaf Agent:
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

customize-easyresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository hdu-ailab/EasyResearch (11 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,696 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
ui-ux-pro-max
Use when designing, implementing, reviewing, or improving web and mobile UI/UX. Consults searchable design data for product patterns, styles, palettes, typography, accessibility, charts, icons, and common frontend stacks.
research-framework-figure
A generator for editable research diagrams that show proposed relationships between concepts, such as one factor affecting another through an intermediate factor. It produces SVG and PowerPoint files, which are vector formats that can be edited without treating the figure as a fixed image.
paper-visual-craft
Use when designing, redrawing, or validating research-paper figures and tables, including Matplotlib plots, LaTeX tables, benchmarks, captions, legends, annotations, color, and typography. Preserves exact evidence and checks rendered PDFs for clipping, overlap, and readability.
paper-framework-figure-studio-pro
Use when planning a source-grounded method overview, architecture, pipeline, system/data-flow, mechanism, or agent-workflow figure for a CS or deep-learning paper. Produces an editable figure brief before image generation or manual redrawing; not for plots, tables, or general prose.
academic-poster
A guide for turning a research paper or abstract into a printable academic conference poster. It covers large single-page layouts, including traditional columns and a design that enlarges the main finding.
report-slides
Use when creating presentations and research reports, especially diagram-heavy decks with architecture, flowcharts, timelines, charts, conceptual illustrations, or editable PPTX output.
