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-digest 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 9d 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.

Research Digest

Generate structured research briefs from RSS feeds, web sources, and industry publications.

Install

git clone https://github.com/thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing.git && cp -r claude-marketing/skills/research-digest ~/.claude/skills/

Core Capabilities

  • Pull from RSS feeds, web search, and curated sources
  • Assess source credibility and recency
  • Cross-reference findings across multiple sources
  • Extract trends, data points, and expert opinions
  • Identify counter-arguments and nuance
  • Produce actionable research briefs

Workflow

1. Source Collection

Gather raw material from:

  • RSS feeds — industry blogs, news sites, newsletters (via any RSS reader/API)
  • Web search — targeted queries for recent coverage
  • Industry reports — analyst reports, whitepapers, earnings calls
  • Social/community — Reddit, Twitter/X, LinkedIn discussions

2. Source Assessment

Evaluate each source on:

Criterion Weight Scale
Credibility 30% Original research > analysis > aggregation > opinion
Recency 25% Last 7 days > 30 days > 90 days > older
Relevance 25% Directly on topic > adjacent > tangential
Uniqueness 20% Novel data > unique angle > common knowledge

3. Synthesis

  • Identify convergent themes (3+ sources saying the same thing)
  • Flag divergent views (contradictions between sources)
  • Extract specific data points with citations
  • Note the "so what" — why this matters for the target audience

4. Brief Generation

Produce a structured markdown brief.

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.
