deep-research

deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from opencmit/alphora. It costs 159 tokens per session (2,605 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow for producing in-depth reports from multiple sources. It requires structured sections, linked references, evidence for factual claims, and data-driven charts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for industry analysis, market research, technology surveys, competitive research, and other reports that combine findings from several sources.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsupported conclusions and disorganized research. The required sources, citations, units, dates, and captions make the report easier to check.

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

deep-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/compile_report.py, scripts/download_file.py, scripts/fetch_page.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.

Requirements for Outputs

Final Report

Structure

  • Title page: Topic, date, author line
  • Executive summary: 3-5 sentence overview of key findings (written last)
  • Table of contents: Auto-generated from headings
  • Body sections: Logically organized with H2/H3 headings
  • Conclusion & recommendations: Actionable takeaways
  • References: Numbered list of all sources with URLs

Quality Standards

  • Every factual claim MUST cite its source with [n] notation linking to the references section
  • Charts and images MUST have captions explaining what they show
  • Data tables MUST include units and time periods
  • Minimum 3 distinct sources for any major conclusion
  • No hallucinated statistics — every number must trace to collected evidence or computed code output

Visual Requirements

  • Include at least one data-driven chart per major section (bar, line, pie, etc.)
  • Reference images should be downloaded locally and embedded via relative paths
  • All images saved under /mnt/workspace/report/assets/
  • Image references in markdown: ![Caption](assets/filename.png)

Formatting

  • Use consistent heading hierarchy (H1 for title, H2 for sections, H3 for subsections)
  • Use tables for structured comparisons
  • Use blockquotes for key findings or direct quotes
  • Number formatting: thousands separator for large numbers, 1 decimal for percentages

Intermediate Artifacts

All research materials MUST be persisted in the workspace so findings are not lost between iterations:

Directory Purpose
/mnt/workspace/research/sources/ Extracted web page content (.txt files)
/mnt/workspace/research/data/ Downloaded datasets and raw data
/mnt/workspace/research/images/ Downloaded reference images
/mnt/workspace/research/notes/ Research notes and outlines
/mnt/workspace/report/ Final report markdown
/mnt/workspace/report/assets/ Report images (charts + reference images)

What ships with it

5 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.
