deep-ass-research

deep-ass-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kaos599/Deep-Ass-Research. It costs 115 tokens per session (824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for researching a topic through multiple sources and recording the findings in an Obsidian vault, a folder of linked notes. It creates cited claim notes, checks them against opposing evidence, and combines them into a structured report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for thorough research on topics, companies, markets, or academic literature when you need citations, linked notes, and a final overview.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on unsupported claims, missed sources, or research notes that cannot be traced back to their evidence.

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

deep-ass-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 10d 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.

Deep Ass Research (DAR) — Claude Code adapter

This is the Claude Code entry point for the portable DAR framework. The methodology is host-agnostic and lives in core/; this file just binds DAR's capability verbs to Claude Code's tools and tells you how to spawn the roles.

How to run

  1. Read core/orchestration.md and follow it exactly. It is the runbook (preflight → charter → breadth → gate → depth → drift guard → verify → synthesize → deliver). Read its referenced files as needed: core/capabilities.md, core/methodology.md, core/vault-layout.md, core/note-schemas.md, core/provenance.md, and the chosen core/modes/<mode>.md.
  2. Spawn sub-agents with the Task / Agent tool (subagent_type: general-purpose). For each role, read core/roles/<role>.md and paste its full content as the sub-agent prompt, then append a ## Task block with the thread/claim context and the absolute vault path. (This mirrors the bug-hunt-review skill's dispatch pattern.) Run independent sub-agents in parallel by issuing multiple Task calls in one message.
  3. Track progress in the vault files _progress.md and _open-threads.md (source of truth). You MAY also mirror _progress.md into TodoWrite for visibility.

Capability bindings (Claude Code)

Verb Binding
WRITE_FILE Write / Edit
ASK_USER AskUserQuestion
SPAWN_SUBAGENT Task / Agent tool (general-purpose), parallel via multiple calls
SEARCH Tavily / Exa MCP if present, else built-in WebSearch
FETCH Tavily extract / Exa fetch if present, else built-in WebFetch
BROWSE TinyFish MCP (run_web_automation)
READ_DOCS Context7 + Ref MCP, else WebSearch+WebFetch on official docs

Record the actual bindings (and any degraded verbs) in _session.md during preflight.

Optional acceleration (Workflow tool)

For determinism, resumability, and budget control, the Depth → Drift → Verify → Synthesize stretch MAY run via adapters/claude-code/dar-pipeline.workflow.js (native Workflow tool). If you use it: first read the role files in core/roles/ and the chosen core/modes/<mode>.md, then invoke the Workflow passing them in args (the script sandbox can't read files): args = {vault, mode, brief, threads, roles:{...}, playbook}. Otherwise just follow steps 3–5 of core/orchestration.md directly. Running DAR implies opting into multi-agent orchestration — announce the approach before launching.

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.
