build-consulting-evidence-base

build-consulting-evidence-base is a skill for Codex from Rkamirage/consulting-research-to-output. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,492 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for testing one narrowly defined consulting question and returning a traceable packet of evidence. It can use public, private, local-file, interview, or mixed sources.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify claims, understand how something works, study buyers and workflows, assess economics, or test implementation conditions.
Why use it?
It keeps research tied to a decision, tests claims against opposing evidence, and records conflicts, evidence quality, and whether enough information has been gathered.

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

build-consulting-evidence-base 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 12d 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build Consulting Evidence Base

Test one bounded question. Preserve the central lead's hypothesis, decision relevance, evidence need, route, support/refute/inconclusive conditions, and return contract. Do not rebuild the issue tree or decide the answer.

When invoked directly, ask only for a missing access, permission, recipient, or research-boundary fact that changes the work; otherwise state an assumption and proceed.

Match the evidence route to the decision need

Do not ask the user or central lead to choose a research level. Start from the bounded hypothesis and required knowledge grain. Expand original-source pursuit, rival testing, direct observation, or governed records only when a high-impact claim lacks direct evidence, a material conflict remains, the decision is hard to reverse, or one more feasible route could change the answer.

For each leaf, predeclare:

decision criterion → diagnostic question → falsifiable leaf test

Name its knowledge kind—claim verification, mechanism understanding, buyer/workflow understanding, economics, or implementation reality—and required grain: instance, aggregate, category, or derived. Category evidence cannot by itself prove an instance workflow, mechanism, economics, performance, or implementation reality.

Research by hypothesis

  1. Map the evidence landscape, upstream sources, vocabulary, conflicts, and critical gaps briefly.
  2. Open originals suited to the knowledge kind: primary documents/data, direct user or buyer evidence, implementation records, product trials, transactions, or authoritative regulation. Snippets and AI summaries are discovery only.
  3. Extract the exact fact, population, period, unit, denominator, method, qualifier, applicability, and concrete instance or derived result required by the test.
  4. Seek the strongest rival, counterexample, contradiction, and failure condition.
  5. Run one targeted drill-down most likely to change the result or answer boundary.
  6. Stop when another focused source is unlikely to change the test result or its decision-relevant confidence.

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.
