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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.00563 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00282 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00113 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00056 |
Grade A, and why
research-architect-brainstorm 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Architect Brainstorm
Generate genuinely different research options, not topic paraphrases. A strong option changes the research logic, evidence path, contribution, or scope.
Inputs
Read when available:
paper_output/project_config.json
paper_output/source_map.md
paper_output/source_inventory.md
paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present
paper_output/exemplar_logic_profile.md # when accessible target references exist
paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md # preliminary or approved version when available
Read ../research-architect/references/brainstorming-framework.md. Use ../research-architect/templates/idea_candidate_matrix.csv as the column contract and write paper_output/idea_candidate_matrix.md as a Markdown table.
Lenses and outputs
Generate 2–5 candidates using the reference-logic, adaptation, problem, material, inquiry, warrant, disconfirmation, and reader-value lenses. Create:
paper_output/problem_landscape.md
paper_output/idea_candidate_matrix.md
paper_output/research_question_options.md
paper_output/feasibility_filter.md
Each option states the problem/tension, research question, inherited reference function when applicable, required adaptation, independent contribution, needed and available evidence, provisional design family, claim boundary, feasibility, and first action.
Classify candidates as advance, needs_more_material, defer, or reject. A conceptually strong option may advance when it has explicit premises, warrants, counterarguments, and scope.
Standalone and degradation path
Accept a raw idea plus constraints even without intake artifacts. State the assumptions, create only the minimum candidate set, and route to intake before treating them as a full project record. Without an accessible target paper, do not invent its logic; develop independent options and let literature mapping identify useful exemplars later.
For guided depth, present the smallest useful 2–3 options and their feasibility filter. standard and deep add the full matrix and broader alternatives.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

research-architect-brainstorm is a skill published in the GitHub repository mmTheBest/Research-Architect (68 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 563 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
