research

research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenAnalystInc/10x-analyst-loop. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A research assistant that searches the web, Reddit, X, YouTube, and Hacker News, then combines the results into a briefing with ranked findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a subject, find recent discussions, compare what people are saying, or identify trends across online sources.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to search several sites separately and sort through discussions yourself. It is useful when you need recent information or public opinions on a topic.

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

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 3d 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 ships with it

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.

research is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenAnalystInc/10x-analyst-loop (4 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
