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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.00455 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00182 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00091 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
deep-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 1mo 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
Rylai Codex-Hermes-Claude Edition | Original portable workflow by Rylai
Runtime Compatibility
- Codex: install under
~/.agents/skills/deep-research. - Hermes: install under
~/.hermes/skills/deep-researchor expose the bundle throughskills.external_dirs. - Claude Code: install under
~/.claude/skills/deep-researchor<project>/.claude/skills/deep-research. - Claude.ai and Cowork: upload and enable the matching per-skill ZIP.
- Resolve bundled files relative to this skill directory; do not depend on paths from another machine.
- Check tools, packages, credentials, network access, and runtime capabilities before execution.
Portable Deep Research
Produce a source-backed answer to a question that genuinely needs multi-source research.
Workflow
- Define the research question, scope, date boundary, audience, and decision the report should support.
- Break the question into independent sub-questions and identify preferred primary sources.
- Search broadly, then open and inspect the most relevant sources.
- Use parallel research agents only when the runtime exposes delegation and the subtasks are independent.
- Build an evidence table containing claim, source, date, confidence, and contradiction notes.
- Triangulate important claims and explain disagreements instead of silently selecting one source.
- Synthesize the answer with citations attached to the claims they support.
- State unresolved gaps, stale evidence, and inference separately from verified fact.
Boundaries
- Ask a clarification question only when ambiguity materially changes the research result.
- Never invent a citation, quote, URL, statistic, publication date, or source conclusion.
- For current topics, verify freshness at execution time.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

deep-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rylaispirit/rylai-codex-hermes-skills (63 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 455 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
