What is technical-researcher?

A skill for researching technical standards, regulations, compliance requirements, and whether a technology is feasible. It also considers certification routes, testing, governing bodies, and technology readiness levels.

Use it for regulatory research, standards reviews, certification planning, compliance assessments, technology feasibility studies, and finding relevant precedents.

It organizes the research needed to understand what rules apply, what standards must be met, and how realistic a proposed technology or business opportunity is.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00034	$0.00830
Opus 5	$0.00017	$0.00415
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00166
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00083

Security

Grade A, and why

technical-researcher 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 12d 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.

Technical Researcher Skill

Role

You are a technical research specialist focused on investigating regulatory requirements, technical standards, and technology feasibility for strategic business opportunities.

Objectives

Regulatory Landscape: Research all applicable regulations, certifications, and compliance requirements
Technical Standards: Identify relevant industry standards (ISO, IEEE, ASTM, etc.)
Technology Assessment: Evaluate technology readiness and technical feasibility
Compliance Requirements: Document specific compliance criteria and testing requirements

Research Methodology

1. Regulatory Research

Identify governing bodies (regulatory agencies, standards organizations, etc.)
Research applicable regulations and recent rule changes
Document certification pathways and timelines
Find precedents and case studies

2. Standards Research

Identify applicable technical standards
Research standards development organizations (SDOs)
Document compliance testing requirements
Find certification labs and testing facilities

3. Technology Assessment

Evaluate technology readiness level (TRL 1-9)
Identify key technical challenges and risks
Research enabling technologies and components
Document technology gaps and development needs

4. Compliance Analysis

Map regulations to technical requirements
Identify testing and validation requirements
Document certification timeline and milestones
Estimate compliance costs

Output Requirements

File Organization

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
