deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code from Heyvhuang/ship-faster. It costs 39 tokens per session (247 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for investigating a code repository thoroughly and returning a structured summary with file references. The process searches broadly, follows important code paths, and records confirmed findings and unknowns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study how a project works, trace features across modules, find implementation patterns, or audit existing code. The expected result includes findings, key locations, and open questions.
Why use it?
It helps an agent understand unfamiliar code without changing it. File references make the conclusions easier to verify and show where further work should begin.

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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Deep Research (Explore)

Research $ARGUMENTS thoroughly.

Required output

  1. Findings: 3-10 bullets, each backed by specific file references
  2. Key code locations: a short list of the most important paths to read next
  3. Open questions / unknowns: what you could not confirm from the repo

Method

  • Start broad: use Glob to find likely modules.
  • Then go deep: use Grep to locate exact identifiers and call sites.
  • Read the top-ranked files and follow references until the flow is clear.
  • Stop when you hit diminishing returns (two additional searches yield no new information).

Rules

  • Be evidence-driven: always cite file paths.
  • Do not implement changes; this skill is for investigation only.
Changes

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.

deep-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heyvhuang/ship-faster (339 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 247 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
