research is a skill for Claude Code from paulo-yamagishi/claude-code-setup. It costs 17 tokens per session (444 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, that combines official documentation with community sources and existing repository content. It organizes findings into verified information, practical tips, and gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate topics such as hooks, plugins, or model settings, check the current official guidance, search discussions and tutorials, and compare the results with project documentation.
Why use it?
Claude Code features and configuration details can change, while community advice may be incomplete or unofficial. Comparing sources helps separate documented behavior from suggestions and missing coverage.

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 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.

What it actually says

Research

Research a Claude Code topic using official docs and community sources, then integrate verified findings.

Steps

  1. Parse topic: Use $ARGUMENTS as the research topic (e.g., "hooks", "plugins", "model configuration").

  2. Fetch official docs:

    • WebFetch https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code and navigate to the relevant section
    • Extract current official information about the topic: features, config format, options, limitations
  3. Search community sources:

    • WebSearch for: "claude code" $ARGUMENTS site:reddit.com — recent discussions and tips
    • WebSearch for: "claude code" $ARGUMENTS — blog posts, tutorials, announcements
    • Extract actionable tips, undocumented patterns, and real-world usage insights
  4. Read existing repo content:

    • Grep for $ARGUMENTS across core/, projects/, skill/, .claude/skills/ to find what we already cover
    • Read the most relevant files to understand current state of our documentation
  5. Cross-reference and classify findings into three sections:

    Confirmed new info — Information verified against official docs that is not yet in our guides. Include source URL.

    Community tips — Plausible patterns from real usage not found in official docs. Mark each as [UNVERIFIED]. Include source URL.

    Outdated content in our repo — Anything in our guides that contradicts current official docs. Include file path and line number.

  6. Present report to the user with the three sections above.

  7. Ask user which findings to integrate, then update the relevant core/ or projects/ files accordingly.

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.
