research

research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sgaabdu4/hard-eng. It costs 0 tokens per session (91 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for coding agents that checks current authoritative documentation and bounded public incident information before choosing an external or platform-dependent solution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate runtime, dependency, platform, or external-service behavior before implementing a fix.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on outdated contracts, guesses, or informal workarounds when a solution depends on another system.

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 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 8d 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

  • External/runtime/platform-dependent solution selection or implementation.
  • External/runtime/dependency remedy = current primary contract + bounded public analogous-incident/remedy search before edit.
  • peer workaround = discovery, never authority.
  • First paid or state-changing external/native attempt = current primary-source receipt.
  • Contract-surprise failure = pause retry.
  • compatible parser/compiler/runner probe proves local semantics.
  • User-supplied source/claim/checklist = minimum coverage ledger.
Changes

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.

research is a skill published in the GitHub repository sgaabdu4/hard-eng (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 91 tokens. 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.
