Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00067 | $0.01673 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00837 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00335 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00167 |
Grade A, and why
deep-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 3d 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to deep-research — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Deep Research Skill
Overview
This skill provides a systematic methodology for conducting thorough web research. Load this skill BEFORE starting any content generation task to ensure you gather sufficient information from multiple angles, depths, and sources.
When to Use This Skill
Always load this skill when:
Research Questions
- User asks "what is X", "explain X", "research X", "investigate X"
- User wants to understand a concept, technology, or topic in depth
- The question requires current, comprehensive information from multiple sources
- A single web search would be insufficient to answer properly
Content Generation (Pre-research)
- Creating presentations (PPT/slides)
- Creating frontend designs or UI mockups
- Writing articles, reports, or documentation
- Producing videos or multimedia content
- Any content that requires real-world information, examples, or current data
Core Principle
Never generate content based solely on general knowledge. The quality of your output directly depends on the quality and quantity of research conducted beforehand. A single search query is NEVER enough.
Research Methodology
Phase 1: Broad Exploration
Start with broad searches to understand the landscape:
- Initial Survey: Search for the main topic to understand the overall context
- Identify Dimensions: From initial results, identify key subtopics, themes, angles, or aspects that need deeper exploration
- Map the Territory: Note different perspectives, stakeholders, or viewpoints that exist
Example:
Topic: "AI in healthcare"
Initial searches:
- "AI healthcare applications 2024"
- "artificial intelligence medical diagnosis"
- "healthcare AI market trends"
Identified dimensions:
- Diagnostic AI (radiology, pathology)
- Treatment recommendation systems
- Administrative automation
- Patient monitoring
- Regulatory landscape
- Ethical considerations
Phase 2: Deep Dive
For each important dimension identified, conduct targeted research:
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 ldclabs/anda-bot (23 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,673 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to deep-research, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.

systematic-debugging
Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes.
brainstorming
You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
auto-perf-optimize
Run agent-driven VS Code performance or memory investigations. Use when asked to launch Code OSS, automate a VS Code scenario, run the Chat memory smoke runner, capture renderer heap snapshots, take workflow screenshots, compare run summaries, or drive a repeatable scenario before heap-snapshot analysis.
chat-perf
Run chat perf benchmarks and memory leak checks against the local dev build or any published VS Code version. Use when investigating chat rendering regressions, validating perf-sensitive changes to chat UI, or checking for memory leaks in the chat response pipeline.
