research

research is a skill for Claude Code from TheWinci/mimirs. It costs 88 tokens per session (491 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project-research skill for answering difficult questions by combining source code, project structure, version history, recorded decisions, and discussions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deep, cross-cutting investigations that require searching code, tracing relationships, checking history, and supporting conclusions with project sources.
Why use it?
It helps explain how a project works when the answer is spread across many files and past changes rather than documented in one place.

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 2mo 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

Goal: a thorough, cited answer to a specific question — pulled from across the whole project memory, not one file or one area. Where explore maps an area's structure, research answers a question by combining code, history, decisions, and discussion.

  1. Frame the question — break it into the sub-questions you must answer. State them, so the synthesis can be checked against them at the end.
  2. The code — search "<sub-question>" for the relevant files, then read_relevant "<behavior>" for the actual functions/sections with line ranges. Use the extensions/dirs/excludeDirs filters to scope. search_symbols <name> for named things you already know.
  3. How it connects — when the question is about relationships: project_map(focus: <file>), depends_on/dependents <file>, impact <symbol> (transitive callers), trace from=<a> to=<b> (how one reaches another).
  4. History & why — search_commits "<topic>" for why and when it changed; file_history <file> for how a file evolved.
  5. Decisions & discussion — search_checkpoints "<topic>" for recorded decisions and direction changes; search_conversation "<topic>" for the back-and-forth and alternatives considered.
  6. Caveats — get_annotations (search across notes) for known bugs, constraints, and fragile spots that qualify the answer.
  7. Verify — before asserting any claim, reopen the cited source and confirm it. Don't synthesize from snippets alone.

Finish: answer each sub-question in plain language with a file:line, commit, or checkpoint citation; separate what the source proves from what is inferred; list what stayed unresolved instead of guessing.

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.
