What it does
Research Codebase is an agent skill from bastani-inc/atomic. Document codebase as-is with research directory for historical context.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: The verifiable coding agent runtime. Define your coding agent's process in natural language with stages, checks, and approval gates instead of hoping it follows your…
Example prompts
- “/research-codebase”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read any directly mentioned files first
- Determine the compatibility posture
- Analyze and decompose the research question
- Spawn parallel sub-agent tasks
- Wait for all sub-agents to complete and synthesize
- Generate research document
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1ec2fe8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitcurlgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
Also links to:
llmstxt.orgdevelopers.cloudflare.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Research Codebase loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,789 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,789 words (~3,830 tokens).
“You are tasked with conducting comprehensive research across the codebase to answer user questions by spawning parallel sub-agents and synthesizing their findings.”
