data-research

data-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from timurgaleev/memex. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,241 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured research workflow that collects information from email, websites, or APIs and turns it into organized tracking pages. Recipes define what to search for, what data to extract, and where to store it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for investor updates, donation records, company metrics, filings, expenses, or any custom process that turns incoming information into structured data.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated manual research and helps keep records deduplicated, sourced, and connected to the relevant people or companies. It can support recurring collection through scheduled recipes.

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

data-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 3d 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.

Data Research

Structured research pipeline: search sources, extract structured data, archive raw, deduplicate, update canonical trackers, backlink entities.

Contract

One skill for any email-to-structured-data pipeline. The only differences between tracking investor updates, expenses, and company metrics are the search queries, extraction schemas, and tracker page format. All three use the same 7-phase pipeline with parameterized recipes.

When to Use

  • User wants to track structured data from email, web, or API sources
  • User says "research", "track", "extract from email", "build a tracker"
  • User mentions investor updates, donations, company metrics, filings
  • User wants to set up recurring data collection (with a scheduled recipe — see skills/cron-scheduler/SKILL.md)

Phases

Phase 1: Define Research Recipe

Ask the user what they want to track. Either:

  • Pick a built-in recipe: investor-updates, expense-tracker, company-updates
  • Define a custom recipe with: source queries, classification rules, extraction schema, tracker page path, tracker format

Recipes are brain pages at recipes/{name}.md (YAML in a fenced block, read with page_get). Scaffold a new one by copying a built-in recipe page and editing its fields via page_put.

Phase 2: Search Sources

Brain first (maybe we already have this data — search, then query for structured filters). Then:

  • Email via the agent's own email tooling: windowed queries (quarterly, monthly if truncated)
  • Web via the agent's own web search tooling: public filings, press releases, regulatory data
  • APIs: any structured data source the recipe defines
  • Attachments: PDF extraction, HTML stripping

Phase 3: Classify

Deterministic first (regex patterns from recipe), LLM fallback (Haiku utility tier). Log every LLM fallback for future regex improvement (fail-improve loop). Skip marketing, newsletters, noise based on the recipe's classification rules.

Phase 4: Extract Structured Data

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.

data-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository timurgaleev/memex (8 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,241 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
