using-eureka

using-eureka is a skill for Claude Code from jeonnoin-alt/Eureka. It costs 35 tokens per session (3,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding and applying research-related skills when working on hypotheses, experiments, data analysis, scientific claims, or manuscripts. It also explains how these research skills fit alongside software-engineering skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning research discussions, defining the applicable workflow, or deciding which research skill should guide the next step.
Why use it?
It helps select the right research process at the start of a conversation instead of treating scientific work like ordinary coding.

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

using-eureka 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IF A SKILL APPLIES TO YOUR TASK, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE. YOU MUST USE IT.

This is not negotiable. This is not optional. You cannot rationalize your way out of this.

Instruction Priority

Eureka skills override default system prompt behavior, but user instructions always take precedence:

  1. User's explicit instructions (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest priority
  2. Eureka skills — override default system behavior where they conflict
  3. Default system prompt — lowest priority

If CLAUDE.md says "skip hypothesis registration for exploratory analysis" and a skill says "always register," follow the user's instructions. The user is in control.

Coexistence with Superpowers

If superpowers skills are also available, they remain in force for software engineering tasks. Eureka adds research skills — it does not replace software ones.

  • superpowers:brainstorming → feature design, component architecture
  • eureka:research-brainstorming → hypothesis design, study architecture
  • superpowers:code-reviewer → code quality, production readiness
  • eureka:research-reviewer → scientific rigor, publication readiness

Use the namespace that matches the artifact: code → superpowers, science → eureka.

How to Access Skills

In Claude Code: Use the Skill tool with the eureka: prefix. When you invoke a skill, its content is loaded and presented to you — follow it directly. Never use the Read tool on skill files.

In Gemini CLI: Skills activate via the activate_skill tool. Gemini loads skill metadata at session start and activates the full content on demand.

In other environments: Check your platform's documentation for how skills are loaded.

What ships with it

2 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.

using-eureka is a skill published in the GitHub repository jeonnoin-alt/Eureka (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 3,607 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 2026-08-31.
