ultra-research

ultra-research is a skill for Claude Code from rocky2431/ultra-builder-pro. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,651 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided research workflow that turns an unclear idea into a detailed specification through ordered discovery steps. It requires source-backed research and asks the user to confirm each step before continuing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a topic, gather cited evidence, validate decisions interactively, and build a high-confidence specification in stages.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork by recording decisions and evidence as the research progresses. The step files keep the process organized and prevent later work from starting with unresolved assumptions.

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

ultra-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.

Ultra Research v2 — Step-File Architecture

Overview

Transform vague ideas into complete, high-confidence specifications through progressive interactive discovery. Each research step is a self-contained instruction file loaded just-in-time for maximum LLM attention density.

Philosophy: Research is collaborative. Each decision validated with user before proceeding. All findings must have 90%+ confidence. Every claim needs a source.

WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

Core Principles

  • Step-File Design: Each step is a self-contained .md file with full execution instructions
  • Just-In-Time Loading: Only the current step file is in context — never load future steps
  • Sequential Enforcement: Steps must be completed in order, no skipping
  • Write-Immediately: Every step writes its output to the spec file BEFORE presenting to user
  • User Gate: User must explicitly confirm [C] Continue before proceeding to next step
  • State Tracking: Track progress via TaskCreate/TaskUpdate system
  • Web-First: Every analysis step REQUIRES web search with citations. No search = no proceed.

Step Processing Rules

  1. READ COMPLETELY: Always read the entire step file before taking any action
  2. FOLLOW SEQUENCE: Execute all numbered sections in order
  3. SEARCH FIRST: Execute web searches BEFORE generating analysis
  4. WRITE IMMEDIATELY: Append content to spec file as soon as analysis is complete
  5. WAIT FOR INPUT: Present [C] Continue — halt and wait for user selection
  6. LOAD NEXT: When user confirms, Read the next step file and follow it

Critical Rules (NO EXCEPTIONS)

  • NEVER load multiple step files simultaneously
  • ALWAYS read entire step file before execution
  • NEVER skip steps or optimize the sequence
  • ALWAYS write output to spec file before presenting to user
  • ALWAYS halt at [C] Continue and wait for user input
  • NEVER proceed without user confirmation
  • NEVER rely solely on training data — web search is mandatory for factual claims

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.
