research

research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shadcn-labs/agentcn. It costs 28 tokens per session (108 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for researching open-ended questions on the web by breaking them into smaller questions, checking multiple sources, and identifying gaps or contradictions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather sources, verify claims, compare findings, close research gaps, and produce a cited answer with unverified points clearly marked.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of relying on incomplete or weak evidence when a question needs more than one lookup.

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

Research Process

  1. Decompose the question into concrete sub-questions.
  2. Search each sub-question with web_search; collect URLs and snippets.
  3. Self-evaluate: list gaps, weak evidence, and contradictions.
  4. Re-search to close gaps until coverage is sufficient.
  5. Synthesize an answer citing every source. Flag anything unverified.

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.
