research-note

research-note is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-synthesis step that combines reports from four technical research angles into one Research section. It compares overlapping findings, resolves conflicts, and records gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Combining API, ecosystem, impact, and codebase-audit findings into a structured research summary for a larger workflow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually merge separate research reports and helps distinguish independently supported findings from disagreements.

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-note 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 5d 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Note

Synthesize multi-angle research outputs into a single Research section with signal weighting and conflict resolution. Return content to the calling orchestrator — the orchestrator writes to the backlog.

Step 1 — Receive Angle Outputs

Accept the structured report text from each angle that ran:

  • api-state — API surface, stability, deprecations
  • ecosystem-research — compatibility, dependencies, community health
  • impact-measurement — quantitative benchmarks, adoption, performance data
  • codebase-auditor — behavioral contracts, coding conventions, workflow insertion points, agent data flow maps

Identify and isolate the Gaps section from each report — you will need it in Step 4.

Step 2 — Cross-Angle Signal Detection

For each factual claim that appears in 2 or more independent angle reports, mark it [CROSS-ANGLE].

A claim qualifies when:

  • Two angles independently reached the same conclusion from different sources
  • Neither angle cites the other's output as its source

Correct: mark [CROSS-ANGLE] only for genuinely independent corroboration. One angle quoting another angle's cited source is not independent corroboration — mark it only in the section of the angle that sourced it independently.

Step 3 — Conflict Detection and Resolution

For each claim where two angles contradict each other, mark it [CONFLICT] and apply the resolution procedure:

  1. One angle has a primary source citation, the other does not → the cited claim wins. State the resolution explicitly.
  2. Both angles have citations and still contradict → mark [UNRESOLVED] and surface it.

Every contradiction must reach a stated resolution or an [UNRESOLVED] marker. Surface all conflicts in the Conflicts section of the output.

Step 4 — Gap Aggregation

Collect the Gaps section from every angle report. Separate into two priority tiers:

  • Cross-angle gaps — appear in 2 or more angle reports. Highest priority for follow-up.
  • Single-angle gaps — appear in only one angle report.

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.

research-note is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jamie-BitFlight/claude_skills (66 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,034 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
