research-evaluation

research-evaluation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sfc-gh-eraigosa/dotfiles. It costs 234 tokens per session (2,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured way to investigate outside tools or projects before deciding whether to adopt them. It produces a consistent research dossier for each target.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research one tool or many, compare adoption options, and record findings in a repository's documentation and tracking system when available.
Why use it?
It replaces quick, inconsistent impressions with a repeatable review of usefulness, cost, licensing, security, stability, quality, and possible drawbacks.

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

research-evaluation 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.

research-evaluation — evaluate before adopting

Turn "should we use ?" into a consistent, evidence-backed evaluation instead of an ad-hoc impression. Works for one target or a batch; generalizes to any repo.

The rubric (all nine, every target)

Dim Question
(a) Value What is it worth to us — which of our real problems does it solve, and what do we already have that overlaps or conflicts?
(b) Setup cost & licensing Install steps, prerequisites, pain points; the exact license, commercial tiers, telemetry/data terms.
(c) Adversarial review The case AGAINST adopting: negatives, dangers, unknown pitfalls, failure modes, lock-in. Written to refute (a).
(d) Security & safety Known and unknown gotchas: what it executes, what data it touches/stores/sends, supply-chain surface, CVEs/advisories.
(e) Stability Likelihood it destabilizes our workflow or running services; maturity, breaking-change history, blast radius.
(f) Quality & support Maintenance signals with the observation date: stars, contributors/bus factor, release cadence, issue responsiveness, docs, last commit.
(g) Demo A workable sandboxed demo to validate first-hand: quickstart + real use case + success criteria. Docker if possible; otherwise skip the demo entirely — no unsandboxed demos.
(h) Borrowable features (build-vs-adopt) For each valuable capability the tool has that our stack lacks, could we implement just that feature in our existing setup more simply than adopting the whole tool? Table it: gap → value → build-it-ourselves sketch → worth it? Ground the sketches in what we already run. This can flip the verdict to reject-but-build-the-feature — often the simpler, safer conclusion.
(i) Business outcomes The financial/ROI vector: does this move us toward financially positive — efficiency gains, hard-time saved, cost that pays for itself, or a step toward a self-propelling revenue outlet? Tag qualitative tiers (low/med/high) for time saved, cost savings, and revenue potential; fold them in at this dimension's weight. Even small value counts — the point is to add a money vector to a decision that is otherwise all opinion.

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.
