tax-research

tax-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maida-ai/maida-tutorials. It costs 14 tokens per session (104 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow for answering substantive tax questions. It uses general sources to find the governing primary authority, such as legislation or official rules, then bases the answer on that authority and notes uncertainty.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research tax questions, locate controlling authority, assess what it means, and explain limits in the conclusion.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on summaries when the actual tax rule may say something different or leave an issue unresolved.

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

tax-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 7d 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

Tax research

  1. Use web search and secondary sources to orient the research and locate relevant authority.
  2. Identify the primary authority that governs the question.
  3. Read that primary authority before deciding on the answer.
  4. Base the conclusion on the authority and make uncertainty visible when it does not resolve the question.

Secondary sources can explain or help locate a rule, but they do not replace reading the primary authority.

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.
