research-summarizer

research-summarizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oxbshw/LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook. It costs 26 tokens per session (550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for researching a topic across several web sources and writing a cited briefing. It distinguishes multi-source research from summarising a single page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for literature reviews, technology briefings, market overviews, and other neutral reports that need several sources and references.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of planning research, comparing findings, and checking that each claim has a usable citation.

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-summarizer 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.

What it actually says

Research Summarizer

When to use

  • User asks "research X" / "what's the state of Y" / "summarize the literature on Z"
  • The answer requires multiple sources, not one
  • The user expects citations

When NOT to use

  • Single-source summarization (use a plain summarize tool)
  • Code search (use repo-auditor or grep)
  • Opinion / recommendation requests (this skill produces neutral briefings)

Inputs

Name Type Required Notes
topic string yes the question to research
depth "shallow" | "deep" no default "shallow" (5–7 sources); "deep" → 10–15
audience string no shapes vocabulary level (e.g., "executive", "engineer")

Outputs

A Markdown file briefing.md following the structure in references/report-template.md.

Workflow

  1. Plan: produce 3–7 sub-questions covering breadth and depth
  2. Search + fetch: for each sub-question, run web_search then fetch_url for top 2–3 hits
  3. Cluster: group findings by claim; load references/clustering-rules.md
  4. Draft: fill references/report-template.md — every claim needs a [n] citation
  5. Validate: every citation resolves; no domain dominates (≥ 3 distinct domains for shallow, ≥ 5 for deep)
  6. Self-review against success criteria below

References

Success criteria

  • ≥ 5 sources for shallow, ≥ 10 for deep
  • ≥ 3 distinct domains
  • 0 unsourced claims (or all flagged (unsourced))
  • Open Questions section populated

Failure modes

  • Fewer sources available than required → return partial result, flag at top
  • All sources from one domain → reject, retry plan with broader scope
  • Network error → fail loudly, don't fabricate

Examples

  • See references/examples/ (TBD) for one shallow and one deep run
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

research-summarizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository oxbshw/LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook (546 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 550 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
