okhp3-source-backed-research

okhp3-source-backed-research is a skill for Codex from OKHP3/skillz. It costs 64 tokens per session (616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for producing notes, comparisons, and recommendations backed by traceable sources. It records where information came from, when it was retrieved, and how certain each claim is.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for research that depends on current facts, external websites, technical documentation, or claims that need verification and citations.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on unsupported, outdated, or unclear information. It also makes it easier to distinguish verified facts, interpretation, recommendations, and unknowns.

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

okhp3-source-backed-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 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.

Output contract

Return the question, decision context, local evidence checked, source ledger, claim-to-source mapping, uncertainty register, implications, and one next action. For each external source record title, publisher, URL, retrieval date, authority rationale, and the exact claim supported. If external access is not available, return BLOCKED or use only the supplied local evidence.

  1. State the research question and the decision or artifact it supports.
  2. Inventory relevant local evidence before retrieving anything external.
  3. Prefer primary and authoritative sources. Use current sources for changing facts and record retrieval dates.
  4. Capture source title, publisher, URL or local path, and the exact claim it supports.
  5. Apply okhp3-evidence-standard to separate source facts, interpretation, recommendations, and unknowns.
  6. Cite claims near their supporting sources. Quote only what is necessary and respect copyright and confidentiality boundaries.
  7. End with implications, unresolved questions, and one recommended next action.

For technical work, prefer official documentation and original research. For recommendations, state criteria and tradeoffs instead of presenting preference as fact. Do not browse merely to decorate an answer that local evidence already settles.

Do not send source content, private data, or credentials to an external service without explicit authorization. Research output is not an authorization to act on the recommendation.

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.
