research-discipline

research-discipline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/Vibe-Trading. It costs 114 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short checklist for spotting common biases in investment research, such as focusing only on large companies, English-language sources, popular stories, or evidence that confirms an existing view.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of stock screens, sector studies, and company investigations to improve coverage and challenge an early investment thesis.
Why use it?
These biases can hide relevant companies and make a research conclusion look stronger than the evidence supports. The checklist prompts broader searches and attention to actual business results.

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-discipline 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 8d 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.

AI Research Bias Self-Check

Run this at the start of any research task (screening, sector study, company deep-dive). These biases systematically warp AI-generated research — 60 seconds here materially improves coverage and intellectual honesty.

The biases and their corrections

Bias How it shows Correction
Leader-bias Search results are dominated by large-caps; you end up analyzing only the obvious names. Deliberately search small/mid-caps and suppliers; add small cap / mid cap / supply chain to queries. Ask: "who is NOT in the top-10 that should be here?"
English-bias You miss Japanese / Korean / Taiwanese / European players because English sources under-cover them. For any hardware/supply-chain thesis, explicitly search JP/KR/TW markets in their own languages — they are often the actual choke-point owners.
Narrative-bias You get pulled in by a concept label ("AI stock", "new energy") and analyze the marketing instead of the business. Ignore the label; look at the actual product, unit economics, and financial statements. A company tagged "AI" may have no AI revenue.
Confirmation-bias Once a thesis forms, you only search for evidence that supports it. Force a Munger inversion: for every bull point, deliberately search the bear case ("X risks / problems / bear case"). Cite at least one disconfirming data point per conclusion.
Recency-bias You rely on a cached/outdated figure because it ranks high in search. For any material number, check its date. Prefer the last 30 days; mark anything older than a year as "possibly stale".

How to apply

  1. Before the first search, read the rows above.
  2. Write the thesis in one sentence, then for each bias ask: "am I about to fall into this?"
  3. Consciously broaden the query plan: small-caps? non-English markets? the bear case? the latest data?
  4. After research, before writing conclusions, re-check: did I cite any disconfirming evidence? did I miss a non-English player? is any key figure stale?

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.
