walrus-research

walrus-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pivyme/suiperpower. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for Walrus, a storage system, focused on how people use it and what products could be built around it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine media, archiving, identity and verifiable storage, and developer-tooling opportunities, then produce a ranked list of ideas based on evidence.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad storage research into a structured view of possible markets and unmet needs.

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

walrus-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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preamble (run first)

# Suiperpower telemetry. Routes through the CLI so projects.json + Convex stay in sync.
# Silent on failure so the skill never blocks. Opt out: SUIPERPOWER_TELEMETRY=off.
#
# AGENT NOTE: when this skill finishes, run the matching completion command:
#   suiperpower track walrus-research idea completed
# Or use "failed" / "aborted" if it ended that way.
command -v suiperpower >/dev/null 2>&1 && suiperpower track walrus-research idea started >/dev/null 2>&1 &
true

If TEL_PROMPTED is no, before doing real work, ask the user:

Help suiperpower get better. We track which skills get used and how long they take. No code, no file paths, no PII. Change anytime in ~/.suiperpower/config.json.

A) Sure, anonymous B) No thanks

Write the answer to ~/.suiperpower/config.json telemetryTier field and create ~/.suiperpower/.telemetry-prompted. Then continue.

What this skill does

Surveys current Walrus storage usage and turns it into a list of product opportunities. Walks four categories: media products, archive products, identity / verifiable storage, and developer tooling. Output is a ranked candidate list grounded in observed usage patterns and gaps in tooling, not generic "decentralized storage" framings.

The Walrus value proposition is durable, available, content-addressed blob storage with payment in WAL. The gaps are usually at the integration layer (apps, tooling, gateways), not the protocol layer.

When to use it

  • The user wants to build on Walrus but is exploring use cases.
  • The user is mid-validation of a Walrus-adjacent idea and wants traction signals.
  • The user is sponsor-track-aligned (Sui Overflow Walrus track) and needs a load-bearing integration angle.

When NOT to use it

  • The user wants to build a Walrus integration with a chosen idea, route to walrus-storage.
  • The user wants general Sui idea search, route to find-next-sui-idea.
  • The user wants DeepBook research, route to deepbook-research.

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.
