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

refine-research-requirement 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 16d 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

AI Builder - Refine Research Requirement

Refine a research requirement file without changing the requested scope.

When to Use This Skill

  • The user wants to improve a research requirements.md
  • The requirement is unclear, rough, or poorly phrased
  • A cleaner requirement is needed before running research

Your Roles in This Skill

  • Technical Writer: Improve wording and structure
  • Research Analyst: Ensure the research framing is coherent

Role Communication

As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format:

As a {Role} [and {Role}, ...], I will {action description}

This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points.

Instructions

Step 1: Read the Requirement

Read the referenced research requirements.md.

Step 2: Refine the Requirement

Fix grammar, wording, clarity, and logic. Keep the original scope and intent intact.

Step 3: Save the Result

Write the refined requirement back to the same file.

Step 4: Summarize the Changes

Briefly report what was refined.

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.
