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.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.02335 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.01167 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00467 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00233 |
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 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 — 382 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research
Find, validate, and archive research that grounds fiction in authentic culture, accurate technical specifications, and verifiable context.
The Iron Law
SOURCE EVERYTHING. No research note without URL/date. Save to 03_Research/ with proper metadata.
Core Mission
Fight the Wikipedia-tourist trap: Move beyond surface-level details to lived experience, technical precision, and period-specific accuracy.
Serve the story: Research should deepen atmosphere, illuminate setting, and ground fiction in concrete reality.
When to Use
- When scene needs real-world accuracy (called by writing-mode)
- When user asks for research on topic
- When query-context identifies research gaps
- When creating entity that needs real-world grounding
- Called by thinking-mode for research needs
- Cultural authenticity questions
- Technical specifications needed
- Historical accuracy required
Research Categories
Organized by 03_Research/ subdirectories:
Culture/
- Language patterns, slang, colloquialisms
- Social customs and daily life
- Subcultural groups and communities
- Food, drink, and domestic rituals
- Generational and class distinctions
History/
- Political climate and events
- Economic conditions
- Social movements
- Cultural shifts
- Period-specific context
Technology/
- Period-appropriate tech
- Infrastructure state
- Communication methods
- Transportation
- Tools and equipment
Geography/
- Location characteristics
- Routes and distances
- Landmarks and notable places
- Environmental details
- How geography affects story
Equipment/
- Technical specifications
- Operational characteristics
- Availability and access
- Maintenance and limitations
- Costs and consequences of use
The Process
Phase 1: Define Research Need
Clarify:
- What specific information is needed?
- What time period? (check project settings for relevant era)
- What category? (Culture, History, Geography, Equipment, Technology)
- What depth? (Quick fact vs. deep dive)
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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository reluctantfuturist/loyal-wingman (7 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,335 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
