Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.01089 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00544 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00218 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00109 |
Grade A, and why
research-format 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Research Format Skill
Composes the canonical Markdown report for claim_pipeline_v1.
This skill is a report composer, not a researcher and not a publisher. It writes
output/report.md from compact structured research state. HTML, PDF, and QMD
outputs are generated later by the publishing phase from output/report.md.
Required Inputs
When invoked by research, use only:
| Input | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Output preferences | manifest.json |
depth, audience, tone, render targets |
| Section briefs | synthesis/section_briefs/<section_id>.json |
section title, summary, required claim IDs, boundaries |
| Claim slices | synthesis/claim_slices/<section_id>.json |
compact required claims, optional claim briefs, and source records available to a section |
| Graph hints | synthesis/section_graph_hints.json |
advisory per-section relationships only |
The formatter must not read these files in the main path:
synthesis/raw_research.md(deprecated; not a formatter input)synthesis/claim_bank.jsoncollect/inventory.json- full Graphify outputs
collect/graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md
Missing claim slices are fatal. Do not fall back to claim_bank.json.
Required Outputs
output/assembly_plan.jsonoutput/sections/<section_id>.mdoutput/sections/<section_id>.meta.jsonoutput/report.mdoutput/formatter_audit.json
Do not write output/report.qmd, output/report.html, or output/report.pdf.
Those belong to publishing.
Citation Contract
All citations use one global format:
[Source Title](url)
Numeric citations such as [1](url) or [1] are disallowed. Mixed citation
styles fail the formatter audit.
Composition Flow
-
Build the assembly plan:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/research-format/scripts/report_composer.py \ build-plan --run-dir "$run_dir" -
For each assembly-plan section, read only:
section_brief_path,claim_slice_path,- graph hints matching the same
section_id, - format preferences.
What ships with it
13 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
- 10d ago First seen · 139 lines · 32 tokens per session scan A 7c9c7b0bc2ec
research-format is a skill published in the GitHub repository TorpedoD/claude-researcher (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 1,089 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.
