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

entity-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/entity_research.py, tests/__init__.py, tests/test_entity_research.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Entity Research

Deep background research on a company or a person → a cited dossier for a human to read and act on. General-purpose research — vetting a vendor, a counterparty before a contract, a prospective hire, a partner, or verifying a media claim.

Research & compilation — NOT a determination. This skill does not screen, clear, rate, or block anyone. A sanctions-list / PEP / watchlist signal is a SIGNAL to escalate to a qualified compliance / AML function, not a finding; negative press is an allegation with a source and date, not a proven fact. Everything is cited; nothing is auto-acted on.

Scope and routing

Use this skill for general background research and fast public signals. Do not use it as a substitute for professional CDD/AML screening, sanctions clearance, PEP screening, or a compliance decision, and do not build an intrusive profile of a private individual.

When to use it

  • Vet a vendor / supplier / counterparty before engaging or signing a contract.
  • Background on a prospective hire, a partner, or a co-investor's principal.
  • Check for negative / adverse media or litigation on a name.
  • A quick public sanctions-list signal check (to escalate, not to clear).
  • A quick PEP indication check from public research (to escalate, not to clear).
  • "Who actually owns / runs X?" — ownership & key-management background.

The research lenses

  1. Identity & background — confirm you have the right entity (registration no., jurisdiction, incorporation date, website, aliases / former names; for a person: role, employer, location, DOB if public). Disambiguate same-name entities early.
  2. Ownership & key management — shareholders / UBO signals, directors, senior managers; group/parent structure. Use the people-enrichment skill / PDL for people & firmographics where appropriate.
  3. Adverse / negative media — allegations, investigations, scandals, insolvency, fraud, environmental/labour issues — each with source, date, and allegation-vs-outcome.
  4. Sanctions / PEP / watchlist signalsscreen_lists(name) checks public sanctions lists only (OFAC SDN + Consolidated, UK OFSI, UN). PEP indications are manual/open-web research signals, such as public office, senior state-owned enterprise role, close-associate indications, or official biographies. Neither is a clearance.
  5. Litigation & regulatory — material lawsuits, regulator actions, fines, debarments.
  6. Summary & flags — a short read with escalation flags for a compliance reviewer.

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.
