do-your-research-deep

do-your-research-deep is a skill for Claude Code from melodic-software/claude-code-plugins. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A detailed research review process that lists the session's factual claims and checks them against primary sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for broad fact-checking when many technical claims or assumptions affect the work.
Why use it?
It helps detect unsupported assumptions and incorrect specifics such as paths, defaults, flags, or function signatures.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

do-your-research-deep 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 21d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Do your research. Deep

The verification-fan-out tier of the sibling /discipline:do-your-research. Same research discipline; heavier execution. Where the base skill re-anchors and audits inline in the current context, this one enumerates a TYPED FULL INVENTORY of the session's claims and verifies them against primary sources, the execution tier the base skill's context cannot provide from within itself.

The shared method. Re-anchor, audit, correct forward, report, and the tone that firing this is not an accusation, lives in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md. The discipline this re-anchors and its portable baseline live in the sibling do-your-research. Read both; this file adds only the fan-out delta. There is no separate copy of the discipline here; update the sibling and this tier follows.

When this tier, not the inline audit

Reserve the fan-out for when the accumulated claims are load-bearing enough to justify the subagent cost: a long session with many concrete specifics the rest of the work now rests on, a "fact-check everything" request that wants provable coverage, or where your own judgment is the suspected source of bias across many claims, a self-check in the context that produced the claims is weak by construction. For a single unbacked claim or a short session, the inline audit in the sibling is the right tool; this tier is overkill.

Verification depth (configurable)

This tier is the expensive one by design, so its depth is configurable. Resolve it once, before enumerating, by this precedence:

  1. Invocation argument wins. When this skill is invoked with an explicit depth. tiered or full (see argument-hint). Honor it over the configured default.
  2. Otherwise the configured default: ${user_config.research_deep_verification}.
  3. Otherwise tiered. Treat an empty value, a surviving literal ${user_config.…} token, AND any unrecognized string (a typo like "teired") all as unset. Fall back to tiered, never error.

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.
