deep-researcher

deep-researcher is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lofcz/LLMTornado. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,466 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for researching a topic through several rounds of searching, checking sources, and combining findings into a structured report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define research scope, find background and specialist sources, cross-check claims, analyze findings, and write a report.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad question into a focused investigation and reduces the risk of relying on incomplete or unverified information.

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-researcher 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 11d 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 Research Workflow

Copy this checklist and track your progress:

Deep Research Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define research scope and objectives
- [ ] Step 2: Conduct initial exploratory research
- [ ] Step 3: Deep dive into key areas
- [ ] Step 4: Cross-reference and validate findings
- [ ] Step 5: Synthesize and analyze information
- [ ] Step 6: Generate structured research report

Step 1: Define research scope and objectives

Clearly establish the research parameters:

  • Main research question: What is the primary question or topic to investigate?
  • Scope boundaries: What aspects should be included or excluded?
  • Depth requirements: How detailed should the research be?
  • Expected deliverables: What format and structure for the final output?
  • Key areas of focus: What specific subtopics or angles to explore?

Document these parameters before proceeding to ensure focused and efficient research.

Step 2: Conduct initial exploratory research

Begin with broad reconnaissance to map the landscape:

  • Search for overview information: Use search tools to find general information, definitions, and context
  • Identify key sources: Look for authoritative sources, recent publications, and expert opinions
  • Note initial findings: Create a preliminary list of important concepts, terms, and themes
  • Discover related topics: Identify adjacent areas that may be relevant
  • Assess information gaps: Note what information is readily available vs. what needs deeper investigation

Create an initial research map with main themes and subtopics identified.

Step 3: Deep dive into key areas

For each identified key area, conduct detailed investigation:

  • Targeted searches: Use specific queries for each subtopic
  • Multiple perspectives: Seek diverse viewpoints and approaches
  • Technical details: Gather specific data, statistics, methodologies, or technical specifications
  • Historical context: Understand the evolution and background
  • Current state: Identify latest developments and trends
  • Future outlook: Look for predictions, projections, or emerging patterns

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.
