research-and-intelligence

research-and-intelligence is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 23 tokens per session (550 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for collecting information from websites and documentation, then producing research reports with evidence and citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for market and technology research, web scraping, AI-assisted item enrichment, duplicate removal, data storage, and live documentation lookups.
Why use it?
It reduces reliance on incomplete or outdated information by combining multiple sources, reading key pages, and checking current library documentation.

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-and-intelligence 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.

What it actually says

CIEL ADAPTATION: Research & Intelligence (The Knowledge Layer)

This skill formalizes the retrieval and synthesis of external knowledge. it prioritizes cited evidence and automated data collection.

Deep Research Workflow

  1. Breakdown: Split the core topic into 3-5 sub-questions (Market, Tech, Competitors, Trends).
  2. Multi-Source Search: Execute searches via Exa and Firecrawl using 3+ keyword variations per question.
  3. Deep Read: Scrape the top 3-5 key URLs in full. do NOT rely on snippets.
  4. Synthesize: Produce a report with inline citations and a "Confidence Score" (High/Medium/Low).

Automated Scraping (Agent)

  • Collect: Use requests or playwright (for JS-rendered sites). Respect robots.txt.
  • Enrich: Batch items (5 per call) to Gemini Flash for scoring and summarization.
  • Store: Sync unique items to Notion/Sheets/Supabase. Deduplicate by URL.
  • Learn: Use a feedback.json to bias future AI scores based on user "Likes/Dislikes."

Live Documentation (Context7)

  • Resolve: Map library names (e.g., "React 19") to specific library IDs early.
  • Query: Fetch live code snippets and configuration guides instead of relying on training data.
  • Redact: Ensure no API keys or secrets are passed in documentation queries.

Anti-Patterns

  • Unsourced Claims: Adding "facts" to a report without a clickable citation.
  • Snippet-Only Synthesis: Writing a deep dive based only on 200-character search results.
  • Rate-Limit Blindness: Running 50 individual LLM calls for 50 scraped items.

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.
