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 | $0.00012 | $0.00203 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00102 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
research-synthesis 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 9d 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
Research Synthesis
Description
Performs multi-source web research on a topic, synthesizes findings into a structured report with citations, key insights, and actionable recommendations.
When to Use
- Investigating a new technology
- Competitive analysis
- Learning a new topic
- Market research
- Technical deep-dive
Process
- Define research scope and questions
- Search web via agy CLI for multiple sources
- Extract key findings per source
- Cross-reference and validate
- Synthesize into structured report
- Add citations and source metadata
Output
Research report with sections: summary, findings, sources, recommendations
Agent Assignment
- Primary: agy
- Fallback: opencode (for formatting only)
What ships with it
3 files 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-synthesis is a skill published in the GitHub repository modimihir07/agentic-os (167 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 203 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
