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 | $0.00059 | $0.01002 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00501 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00200 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00100 |
Grade A, and why
research-analyst 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.

Research Analyst
Systematic research analysis skill that forms hypotheses, evaluates evidence, and produces structured analytical assessments.
Trigger Words
/research-analyst- "analyze this topic"
- "evaluate the evidence"
- "what does the research say about"
- "feasibility analysis"
- "systematic analysis"
Quick Start
- Define the research question and analytical scope
- Form initial hypotheses or analytical framework
- Gather and evaluate evidence (quality, relevance, recency)
- Synthesize findings into structured analysis
- Produce actionable recommendations with confidence levels
Core Workflow
Research Analyst Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define research question and scope
- [ ] Step 2: Establish analytical framework
- [ ] Step 3: Evidence gathering and evaluation
- [ ] Step 4: Cross-reference and validate findings
- [ ] Step 5: Synthesize analysis with confidence ratings
- [ ] Step 6: Produce recommendations
Step 1: Define Research Question
- Clarify the specific question or problem to analyze
- Identify constraints: time, domain, depth
- Determine the decision this analysis will inform
- Identify key stakeholders and their information needs
Step 2: Analytical Framework
Choose and apply one or more frameworks:
| Framework | Best For |
|---|---|
| SWOT | Strategic positioning, competitive analysis |
| PESTEL | Macro-environment, policy impact |
| Porter's Five Forces | Industry/market dynamics |
| Root Cause Analysis | Problem diagnosis |
| Cost-Benefit | Investment/decision justification |
| Comparative Matrix | Technology/tool evaluation |
| Literature Synthesis | Academic/research topics |
Step 3: Evidence Gathering
For each piece of evidence, record:
| # | Source | Type | Quality | Relevance | Key Finding |
|---|--------|------|---------|-----------|-------------|
| 1 | [source] | [primary/secondary/tertiary] | [H/M/L] | [H/M/L] | [finding] |
Quality Assessment Criteria:
- High: Peer-reviewed, primary data, recent (< 2 years), reputable source
- Medium: Industry reports, established blogs, conference papers
- Low: Anecdotal, outdated (> 5 years), unverified 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.
- 11d ago First seen · 143 lines · 59 tokens per session scan A d1558e412f9e
research-analyst is a skill published in the GitHub repository rongarede/claude-skills-research (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,002 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.
