omk-research

omk-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KaimingWan/oh-my-kiro. It costs 73 tokens per session (852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A staged research workflow that starts with existing knowledge, then uses web search, and finally can use Tavily for deeper investigation. Tavily is a web research service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research libraries, compare products or competitors, investigate topics, and check current best practices.
Why use it?
It helps match the research method to the question, from basic explanations and quick checks to larger comparisons or investigations.

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

omk-research 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/research.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Trigger Examples

  • "@research AutoMQ vs Confluent 对比"
  • "帮我调研一下这个库怎么用"
  • "find out how competitors handle this"
  • "what's the best practice for X in 2026?"
  • "compare these three approaches"

Search Level Strategy

Always use the lowest level that can answer the question:

Level Tool Use Case Cost
0 Built-in knowledge Common concepts, basics Free
1 web_search Quick verification, simple queries Free
2 Tavily Research API Deep research, competitive analysis API credits

Rule: If Level 0 or 1 can answer it, don't use Level 2.

Don't need research: Common knowledge, already in knowledge/, answerable from built-in knowledge.

Level 2: Tavily Research API

Prerequisites

Get your API key at https://tavily.com (1000 free credits/month)

Set environment variable:

export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-your-key-here"

Or add to your agent config:

{
  "env": {
    "TAVILY_API_KEY": "tvly-your-key-here"
  }
}

Usage

./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "your research query"}' [output_file]

# Quick research
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "quantum computing trends"}'

# Deep research
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "AI agents comparison", "model": "pro"}'

# Save to file
./scripts/research.sh '{"input": "market analysis", "model": "pro"}' ./report.md

Model Selection

Model Use Case Speed
mini Single topic, targeted ~30s
pro Multi-angle, comprehensive ~60-120s
auto API chooses based on complexity Varies

Rule of thumb: "what does X do?" → mini. "X vs Y vs Z" → pro.

Structured Output

./scripts/research.sh '{
  "input": "fintech startups 2025",
  "model": "pro",
  "output_schema": {
    "properties": {
      "summary": {"type": "string", "description": "Executive summary"},
      "companies": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}}
    },
    "required": ["summary"]
  }
}'

What ships with it

1 file 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.
