Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00021 | $0.01127 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00451 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00225 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00113 |
Grade A, and why
research-manager 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.
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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
<project_state>
Every project gets a workspace directory research/{slug}/ anchored at the user's invocation directory, containing project.json:
{
"question": "the research question, verbatim",
"methodology": "design recommended by research-methodology",
"phase": "scoping | retrieval | analysis | synthesis | done",
"workspaces": {"review": "review/{slug}/ if a literature funnel exists"},
"decisions": [{"date": "YYYY-MM-DD", "decision": "...", "why": "..."}],
"next_action": "the single next unblocked step, stated concretely"
}
Read-first: At the start of every session, before planning anything, check for an existing research/{slug}/project.json matching the topic. If found, resume from its phase and next_action — do not re-derive the plan.
Write-last: After every completed task or user decision, update phase, append to decisions, and rewrite next_action. A session that changed project state but not project.json is unfinished.
</project_state>
1. Ingestion & Scoping
Analyze the user's request. Is it a quick question or a project?
- Quick: Answer directly using
multi-source-investigation. - Project: Proceed to Task Scaffolding.
- Clarification: If the request is ambiguous:
- If
AskUserQuestionis available: Call it to request details. - Otherwise: Ask the user directly in the conversation.

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-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository poemswe/co-researcher (135 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,127 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

Goal-driven conductor for the whole idea-to-published-paper lifecycle. Takes a research idea plus experiments and a target ("submit to NeurIPS 2026", or "help me pick a venue") and runs a goal->plan->execute->verify->reflect loop. It plans the stages, invokes the right lifecycle skills in order (literature-review…
