search-first is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khanhhuyenngo985-sys/character-scene-design-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,441 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A workflow that searches for existing tools, libraries, and coding patterns before new code is written. It then calls a researcher agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Researching available tools, libraries, and implementation patterns before coding.
Why use it?

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

search-first scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

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.
