research-project

research-project is a skill for Claude Code from sjarmak/coding-agent-workflows. It costs 23 tokens per session (396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow that creates a product requirements document (PRD), refines it through structured debate, and adds likely risks and ways to reduce them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a topic or feature, make key decisions, identify possible failures, and produce a risk-annotated PRD for implementation.
Why use it?
It combines several planning steps into one run, so you do not have to move files and results between separate tasks by hand.

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-project 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

Research Project: Diverge → Converge → Premortem

Run the complete PRD creation pipeline as a single invocation. This chains three skills in sequence, passing outputs between them.

Arguments

[N] "research question or topic"

  • N is the agent count for the diverge stage (default 3).
  • The topic is the research question or feature to investigate.

Execution

Step 1: Diverge

Invoke the /diverge skill with the provided arguments. This spawns N independent research agents and produces a PRD.

Wait for the PRD file to be created (format: prd_{slugified_topic}.md).

Step 2: Converge

Invoke the /converge skill, passing the PRD file path from Step 1.

This runs a structured debate to refine the PRD and resolve tensions.

Step 3: Premortem

Invoke the /premortem skill, passing the refined PRD from Step 2.

This runs prospective failure analysis and annotates the PRD with risks and mitigations.

Output

Present the final risk-annotated PRD path and a brief summary:

  • Key decisions from convergence
  • Top 3 risks from premortem
  • Recommended next step (usually /prd-build <prd-path>)

Rules

  • Do NOT ask questions between steps, flow continuously
  • Do NOT skip steps, all three must run
  • If a step fails, report the error and stop (do not proceed with incomplete input)
  • Each step produces files, pass file paths, not inline content
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.
