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-toolkit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/ddgs_search.py, scripts/headless_dl.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

research-toolkit

通用研究工具包:网页搜索 + 无头浏览器下载。

何时使用

  • 需要搜索网页/新闻/图片来找链接或信息时
  • 需要下载JS 渲染的页面(React/Vue/Next.js SPA,普通 curl 拿不到内容)
  • 遇到 CDN 反爬(Akamai / CloudFront / Cloudflare),curl 返回 Access Denied
  • 需要下载 PDF,但服务器拦截非浏览器请求

工具

ddgs_search.py — DuckDuckGo 搜索

python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\ddgs_search.py" <cmd> <query> [options]

子命令: text | images | news | videos

常用参数: --max N --region wt-wt --timelimit d|w|m|y -o json|csv

示例:

python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\ddgs_search.py" text "site:sec.gov Block Inc 10-K" --max 10
python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\ddgs_search.py" news "CFPB enforcement action" --timelimit m
python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\ddgs_search.py" text "query" -o json --max 5

headless_dl.py — Headless Chrome 下载器

python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\headless_dl.py" <url> <output> [--mode text|html|pdf] [--wait "text"] [--timeout 30]

模式:

  • --mode text — 提取 innerText 纯文本(过滤导航/CSS/JS)
  • --mode html — 保存完整渲染后的 HTML DOM
  • --mode pdf — 通过 Chrome CDP 下载 PDF(绕过 CDN 反爬)

示例:

# 等页面出现 "Annual Report" 后再截取文本
python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\headless_dl.py" "https://spa.example.com" out.txt --mode text --wait "Annual Report"

# 绕过 Akamai 下载 PDF
python "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\headless_dl.py" "https://cdn.gov/doc.pdf" out.pdf --mode pdf --timeout 60

典型工作流

  1. ddgs_search.py 搜索目标链接
  2. headless_dl.py 下载 JS 渲染页面或 PDF
  3. 对 PDF 做 OCR / 对文本做分析

依赖

pip install -r "C:\Users\a\.agents\skills\research\research-toolkit\scripts\requirements.txt"

需要 Chrome 浏览器。

Files

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
