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 C, and why

firecrawl-research-patterns scanned grade C with 2 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 4d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 586 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Firecrawl Research Patterns

Programmatic patterns for using Firecrawl in research workflows — search, scrape, route academic papers, run recursive deep research, and persist raw results for future re-analysis.

Use the public Firecrawl API. There is no self-hosted instance. POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape answers without an API key, which covers the low-volume, occasional conversions this repo actually does. Rate limits and queueing are acceptable — do not stand up a private deployment to avoid them.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

FIRST — TodoWrite Task Templates

MANDATORY: Select and load the appropriate template before any research work.

Intent routing — AI chat share URLs (chatgpt / gemini / claude)

AI chat share URLs (chatgpt.com/share/*, chat.openai.com/share/*, gemini.google.com/share/*, g.co/gemini/share/*, claude.ai/share/*, claude.ai/chat/*) can be processed by either this skill or Skill(gh-tools:research-archival). Pick by intent, not URL pattern:

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.
