research-synthesizer

research-synthesizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lfyxhappy/lfcode. It costs 57 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-based research guide for gathering, comparing, and summarising evidence. It records where claims came from, when sources were published or accessed, and which points remain uncertain.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer research questions, compare sources, and produce a brief with citations or evidence locations. It can prioritise authoritative sources and check important dates, numbers, quotations, and causal claims.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported conclusions, fabricated citations, and confusion between observed facts and interpretation. It also makes disagreements, missing information, and limits in source coverage visible.

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-synthesizer 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 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.

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

Research Synthesizer

Turn multiple pieces of evidence into a traceable, uncertainty-aware synthesis.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the question, audience, time boundary, geographic or technical scope, desired depth, and acceptable source types.
  2. Form search or inspection questions before collecting evidence. Prefer primary or authoritative sources, then use secondary sources to cross-check context.
  3. Record source title, publisher or owner, URL or local path, publication or access date, relevant passage, and scope for every material claim.
  4. Compare sources for agreement, definitions, incentives, recency, missing data, and contradictions. Separate direct observations, calculations, interpretations, and recommendations.
  5. Draft a concise synthesis with citations or evidence locations, confidence and caveats. Never fill a gap with a plausible but unsupported statement.
  6. Recheck every important number, quote, date, and causal claim against its source before delivery.

Boundaries

  • Do not imply live or exhaustive research when network access, source coverage, or freshness is limited.
  • Do not fabricate citations, quotes, browsing results, or source metadata.
  • Do not collect sensitive personal information or access restricted sources without explicit authorization.

Completion check

Label facts, inferences, and unresolved questions clearly. Include the evidence trail and the cutoff time used for the synthesis.

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.
