research-workflow

A structured process for researching a question by breaking it into smaller parts, searching for sources, checking claims against multiple sources, and combining the findings with citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate, compare, or survey a topic when the answer depends on facts that need to be verified across several sources.
Why use it?
It reduces unsupported conclusions and makes disagreements, dates, confidence, and gaps in the available evidence visible.

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-workflow 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 2d 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 Workflow

How to Execute

  1. Decompose: Break the question into 2-5 sub-questions that can be researched independently.
  2. Search: Use web_search for each sub-question. Parallelize independent searches.
  3. Cross-verify: Check claims from multiple sources. Flag conflicting information.
  4. Synthesize: Combine findings into a structured answer with citations.
  5. Qualify: State confidence level and note gaps in available information.

Rules

  • Never rely on training data alone for factual claims — always verify with web_search.
  • Prefer primary sources (official docs, papers, announcements) over secondary ones.
  • When sources conflict, present both sides and explain the discrepancy.
  • Include dates for time-sensitive information.
  • Clearly separate facts from your analysis or interpretation.

Freshness Self-Check (mandatory when the request says "latest", "recent", "最新", "近期", or implies now)

  1. Anchor: read the current date from the runtime time facts — that is "now", not your training data.
  2. Query with recency: include the current year (and month if relevant) in search queries; prefer provider recency filters when available.
  3. Date every source: extract each result's publication date. A result without a discoverable date is weak evidence for a "latest" claim.
  4. Compare before claiming: if the newest source you found is older than the request implies (e.g. a year-old report for a "latest report" request), say so explicitly — "the newest I could verify is X from " — instead of presenting it as current.
  5. If search is unavailable or returns nothing recent, state plainly what you could not verify. Never fill the gap from training data without labeling it as such.

Pitfalls

  • Presenting training data as verified fact
  • Citing a single source without cross-checking
  • Omitting publication dates on time-sensitive topics
  • Mixing opinion with established fact
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-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository spytensor/openmozi (210 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 516 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
