doc-research

doc-research is a skill for Claude Code from prime-radiant-inc/greenfield. It costs 39 tokens per session (4,113 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for researching and extracting behaviour from public documentation. It searches official documentation first, then machine-readable specifications and community sources, while recording supported claims and gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate how a product or service behaves, build a claims record, identify missing evidence, and organize documentation research.
Why use it?
It helps separate documented facts from assumptions and shows when research has stopped finding useful new information.

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

doc-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.

Documentation Research Methodology

This skill defines the complete methodology for extracting behavioral specifications from public documentation. Follow it step by step. Every section is normative.

1. Search Sequence

Search proceeds from most authoritative to least authoritative. Execute every pattern in each tier before moving to the next tier.

digraph search_sequence {
    rankdir=TB;

    "Start documentation research" [shape=doublecircle];
    "Search Tier 1: Official documentation" [shape=box];
    "Traverse full official site structure" [shape=box];
    "Search Tier 2: Machine-readable specs" [shape=box];
    "Search Tier 3: Community knowledge" [shape=box];
    "Diminishing returns?" [shape=diamond];
    "Page budget exhausted?" [shape=diamond];
    "Write claims file and gaps file" [shape=box];
    "Run gap analysis by product type" [shape=box];
    "Research complete" [shape=doublecircle];

    "Start documentation research" -> "Search Tier 1: Official documentation";
    "Search Tier 1: Official documentation" -> "Traverse full official site structure";
    "Traverse full official site structure" -> "Search Tier 2: Machine-readable specs";
    "Search Tier 2: Machine-readable specs" -> "Search Tier 3: Community knowledge";
    "Search Tier 3: Community knowledge" -> "Diminishing returns?";
    "Diminishing returns?" -> "Write claims file and gaps file" [label="yes"];
    "Diminishing returns?" -> "Page budget exhausted?" [label="no"];
    "Page budget exhausted?" -> "Write claims file and gaps file" [label="yes"];
    "Page budget exhausted?" -> "Search Tier 3: Community knowledge" [label="no, continue"];
    "Write claims file and gaps file" -> "Run gap analysis by product type";
    "Run gap analysis by product type" -> "Research complete";
}

Tier 1: Official Documentation (source type: official-docs)

Execute these search patterns in order. Replace {product} with the target product name and {domain} with the official domain if known.

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.
