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 | $0.00040 | $0.00767 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00383 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00153 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00077 |
Grade A, and why
research-architect-design 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Architect Study Design
Translate a selected research option into an executable inquiry. Adapt the reference paper's function, never its vocabulary or unexamined assumptions.
Inputs and blocking rule
Read:
paper_output/project_config.json
paper_output/source_inventory.md
paper_output/terminology_ledger.md # when present
paper_output/gap_map.md
paper_output/motivation_options_after_literature.md or selected research-question option
paper_output/exemplar_logic_profile.md # when target references exist
paper_output/exemplar_adaptation_plan.md # approved when target references exist
Require a selected candidate and, when applicable, approved adaptation. Do not require confirmed_research_spine.md before preparing the design: that confirmation occurs with the design at Gate 2. Return to brainstorming or literature when no feasible candidate exists.
Read ../research-architect/references/design-family-grammars.md and ../research-architect/references/study-design-framework.md. Use ../research-architect/templates/study_design_brief.md and ../research-architect/templates/study_component_registry.csv; write the registry as paper_output/study_component_registry.md.
Outputs
Prepare:
paper_output/study_design_brief.md
paper_output/analysis_plan.md
paper_output/evaluation_plan.md
paper_output/study_component_registry.md
paper_output/threats_to_validity.md
For guided depth, produce the brief and registry first, then add the other planning artifacts when needed; standard and deep produce the full set.
Every component must state its research function, user action, evidence/material, analysis or interpretation, comparison/warrant, output, claim supported, completion criterion, and status. Use stable Object IDs for materially ambiguous datasets, cohorts, conditions, models, metrics, or other study objects. Match validity and inference controls to the selected design family.
MANDATORY Gate 2 — combined spine-and-design approval
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-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository mmTheBest/Research-Architect (68 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 767 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.
