deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jimezsa/opencolab. It costs 32 tokens per session (3,806 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for conducting detailed scientific research from published papers. It searches for papers, downloads and reads a broad collection, examines equations and findings, and produces a referenced report and literature map.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for state-of-the-art reviews, deep comparisons, research planning, and decision support grounded in scientific literature.
Why use it?
It helps turn a large paper collection into an evidence-based review with traceable sources, rather than relying on a few search results or unsupported summaries.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: positional $N argument.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is python3 SKILLS/paper-summary/scripts/gemini_parallel_summary.py \.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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 B, and why

deep-research scanned grade B with 2 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 6d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

"script": "git clone https://github.com/jimezsa/papercli.git && cd papercli && make build && sudo install -m 0755 ./bin/papercli /usr/local/bin/papercli",

Deep Research Skill

Use this skill for comprehensive scientific research tasks such as state-of-the-art reviews, deep comparisons, research strategy, and evidence-heavy decision support.

If the user later asks an exact follow-up question about a downloaded paper or wants a bounded local verification pass, switch to pageindex-grounded for grounded retrieval over the existing PDF corpus.

Update This Skill

Mission

Deliver an institutional-grade findings.md by:

  1. Running iterative papercli retrieval across multiple query waves.
  2. Downloading and reading a broad, diverse paper corpus.
  3. Extracting core ideas, concepts, results, assumptions, and key mathematics.
  4. Producing a detailed markdown report inside a topic-scoped research run folder, where all claims are grounded by references.
  5. Producing a companion literature-map block diagram that shows how the main papers or paper families connect.

Prerequisites

  • papercli is installed and available in PATH.

Non-Negotiable Rules

  • Use papercli as the retrieval backbone.
  • Read paper content from downloaded PDFs whenever possible.
  • Never present uncited factual claims.
  • Surface conflicts and uncertainty explicitly.
  • Final output must be a detailed markdown file named findings.md inside the active research run folder.
  • Each distinct topic must live in its own dated, topic-slugged folder under research/.
  • Maintain research/INDEX.md and the run-local RUN.md metadata file so later agents can recognize what each research folder contains.
  • After synthesis, produce a companion literature-map diagram through the shared block-diagram skill.
  • The literature map must only show evidence-backed relations such as method lineage, direct comparison, shared benchmark or dataset, critique, or common problem framing.
  • Do not invent paper-to-paper influence or citation edges that are not supported by the corpus.
  • OpenColab normally provides OPENCOLAB_PROGRESS_FILE during provider runs. When it is set, emit bounded JSON progress updates for long-running stages instead of remaining silent until the end.

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.

deep-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository jimezsa/opencolab (11 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 3,806 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
