Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00057 | $0.00231 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00115 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00023 |
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 10d 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
Go to the internet. Training knowledge is general and dated — use this when you need specifics or recency.
Synthesize what you find into a saved document. Don't just dump links — capture what matters and why.
Saving
Save to .lore/work/research/[topic].md using kebab-case. Load ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/frontmatter-schema.md for the frontmatter fields. Include the date frontmatter field — research goes stale and future sessions need to know when it was gathered.
Write the body Markdown-first per the "Body Format" section of ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/frontmatter-schema.md. Lead with a "Key Findings" section so conclusions aren't buried in prose. Reach for embedded inline HTML only for a comparison table or diagram that prose can't carry.
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 rjroy/vibe-garden (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 231 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
init-rpm
Project setup and verification. First run creates rpm context for a project. Repeat runs verify that an existing rpm setup matches the latest expected layout and apply safe migrations.
backlog
Manage the rpm backlog (long-term project tasks in docs/rpm/future/tasks.org — distinct from Claude's native TaskCreate list, which is session-scoped). Add, list, review, postpone, or complete entries. TRIGGER on natural-language backlog operations — phrasings like "backlog X", "add X to backlog", "add to backlog"…
version
Report the installed rpm plugin version. Use when the user asks for the rpm version, plugin version, installed version, or wants to verify which rpm release is loaded.
recursive-spine-scaffold
Use when a repo has (or is getting) the tracking stamp and needs the rest of its spine — interviews for and stamps up to six parts, each optional: a rules codex with a moments map, an ADR directory, a CI gate skeleton, a session-memory convention, a constraints file with its sha-pinned drift gate, and the loop…
recursive-spine-digest
Use when sweeping all recursive-spine-conforming repos for tracking health — aging deferrals (oldest first), stalled milestones, in-flight by lane, assigned-but-untouched issues, and debts named in closing comments but never filed, plus seedling pollen that never transplanted (hive repos). Reports honest denominators…
recursive-spine-bootstrap
Use when installing the recursive-spine tracking convention onto a repo — interviews for modules and dialect, then stamps labels, issue/PR templates, a CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md tracking section, and cross-project board membership. Idempotent; degrades loudly on missing gh scopes; offers (never forces) plumb-line and…
