research-orchestrator

research-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code from YoungjaeDev/my-claude-plugins. It costs 145 tokens per session (4,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow that gathers information from sources such as GitHub, Hugging Face, websites, documentation, and academic papers, then combines the findings into a Markdown report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for thorough research, comparisons, best-practice reviews, or questions spanning code, machine learning, documentation, websites, and papers.
Why use it?
It saves time when a question needs information from several kinds of sources and helps remove duplicate or lower-trust findings.

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-orchestrator scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/search_github.py, scripts/search_huggingface.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 248 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Research Orchestrator

Entry point for scout v2.0. Replaces the legacy scout / deep-scout agents with a small router that fans out to specialized scouts and consolidates via synthesis-scout.

When to use vs. skip

Use when:

  • The query needs more than one source axis (GitHub + docs, web + HF, etc.)
  • The user explicitly asks for a research report or comparison
  • The user says "thorough", "deep", "comprehensive", "compare", "best practices", "research"
  • A single-axis quick lookup is fine: the orchestrator will detect that and fan out to just one scout

Skip / use something else when:

  • The user wants a GitHub PR review → dev:cr-fix / dev:resolve-issue
  • The user wants to ask a single question about one repo → scout:ask directly
  • The user wants to read library API docs only → context7 MCP directly
  • The user wants a single paper's PDF or full text → scout:paper-search download_* / read_* directly (paper-scout is metadata-only)
  • The user's query is outside the code / ML domain (politics, market, history, biographies, general policy) → /deep-research directly. Its 7-phase + adversarial verify + state-machine flow is tuned for generic topics; scout's 5-axis routing is tuned for code/ML and would mis-route on those queries. Orchestrator does not delegate to /deep-research: the boundary is intentional.

See references/agent-routing.md for the full should / should-NOT matrix.

Inputs

  • query (required): user's natural-language research target
  • mode (optional): quick | deep; auto-detected if absent
  • workspace_dir (optional): when set, the orchestrator reuses this directory and the caller owns lifecycle (enables partial re-execution; see Phase 0 below). When unset, each run gets its own mktemp directory.
  • report_path (optional): defaults to ${workspace_dir}/final_report.md

Data-transfer protocol: file-based via $WORKSPACE/{NN}_{axis}.json. Sibling scouts do not communicate directly; everything flows through the workspace and is merged by synthesis-scout. Lexical filename ordering = deterministic merge order.

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.

research-orchestrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository YoungjaeDev/my-claude-plugins (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 145 tokens to every session and 4,386 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
