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 | $0.00044 | $0.01154 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00462 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00231 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00115 |
Grade A, and why
clio-kit-materio-research-explorer 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 9d 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Host compatibility
This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.
Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.
For a new materials research direction, interview the domain, phenomenon, processing conditions, hypothesis, scope exclusions, resources, and timeline. Present three calibrated candidate questions, then write the selected identity and decisions under .research/ using the linked template. Preserve existing research state. Use the research state helper to initialize missing config.
Read the shared research policy for state, provenance, execution boundaries, and advisory validation.
Read the linked references when needed. Resolve links from this skill directory. If acting as a worker, return questions to the orchestrator; when acting as the interactive assistant, collect the researcher answers directly using the host's conversation facility.
What Makes a Good Research Prompt
A good research prompt is:
- Specific: Names specific material, property, condition, or phenomenon
- Answerable: Can be confirmed or refuted by an achievable experiment or calculation
- Novel: Not already fully answered in the literature (this comes from literature-review, but initial framing matters)
- Scoped: Has clear in/out boundaries so the researcher knows when they're done
What ships with it
32 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.

clio-kit-materio-research-explorer is a skill published in the GitHub repository iowarp/clio-kit (30 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 1,154 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-08.
