research

research is a skill for Claude Code from yarikleto/claude-teacher-plugin. It costs 58 tokens per session (2,157 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A study-plan maker that researches what someone needs to learn for a task, project, or exam. It saves a checklist of topics and useful resources in a Markdown file, a plain-text document format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare for an exam, learn how to build a specific system, or understand a technology such as Docker networking. It can inspect the project and find documentation, articles, standards, or tutorials.
Why use it?
It breaks a difficult goal into prerequisites and ordered learning tasks. It can account for what the student already knows, their level, learning style, and deadline.

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 2d 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 — Study Plan Generator

Researches what the student needs to learn to successfully complete a task or project, then saves a structured checklist with resources to a markdown file.

Invocation

/claude-teacher:research <task or project description>

Examples:

  • /claude-teacher:research build an FTP server in C
  • /claude-teacher:research prepare for AWS Solutions Architect exam
  • /claude-teacher:research create a REST API with authentication
  • /claude-teacher:research understand how Docker networking works

Process

1. Understand the Goal

Read <education-db>/student.json and dashboard.json to understand:

  • What the student already knows (skip those topics)
  • Their level and background (calibrate depth)
  • Their goals and deadlines (prioritize accordingly)
  • Their learning style (choose resource types that fit)

Ask clarifying questions if the task is vague:

  • What's the end result? (working app, exam pass, understanding)
  • Any deadline?
  • Any constraints? (language, framework, platform)

2. Scan the Project (if applicable)

If the student is working inside a project directory, read the codebase before planning:

  • Glob for source files to understand the tech stack (languages, frameworks, libraries)
  • Read key files: README.md, package.json/Cargo.toml/Makefile/etc., config files, main entry points
  • Grep for patterns that reveal what's already implemented vs what's missing
  • Check git log — recent commits show what the student has been working on

This tells you:

  • What the student has already built (don't plan topics for finished work)
  • What they're currently stuck on (prioritize those topics)
  • What specific technologies they're using (find resources for those exact versions/frameworks)
  • What gaps exist between current code and the goal

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.
