What it does
Research is an agent skill from codewhale-hq/Codewhale. Current external research using available web tools, primary sources where possible, links/citations, date awareness, synthesis, and unresolved uncertainty.
Its SKILL.md is about 140 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: Open-source coding agent for your terminal, built in Rust and on a journey of continuous community improvement. Issues and PRs welcome. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Prefer primary sources.
- Note dates and version pins.
- Synthesize; separate fact from inference.
- List open questions.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fead51e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 loads about 138 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 48 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.

When to use
Use for external facts: release notes, docs, prior art, ecosystem changes.
Non-goals
- Do not invent citations.
- Degrade clearly when web tools are unavailable.
Workflow
- Prefer primary sources.
- Note dates and version pins.
- Synthesize; separate fact from inference.

Questions about Research
What does Research do?
Current external research using available web tools, primary sources where possible, links/citations, date awareness, synthesis, and unresolved uncertainty. Research is an agent skill from codewhale-hq/Codewhale. Current external research using available web tools, primary sources where possible, links/citations, date awareness, synthesis, and unresolved uncertainty.
When should I use Research?
Research fits situations like: tasks that involve Citation management.
How do I install Research in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/tui/assets/skills/research in codewhale-hq/Codewhale) into .claude/skills/research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Research in Codex?
Run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (crates/tui/assets/skills/research in codewhale-hq/Codewhale) into .agents/skills/research in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Research in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add codewhale-hq/Codewhale --skill research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/research, .gemini/skills/research, .github/skills/research and .opencode/skills/research in your project.
What does Research need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Research is instructions for the agent only.
Does Research access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Research safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Research use?
Research is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Research use?
About 138 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 552 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Research?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Research: Content Research Writer (weapp-tailwindcss/weapp-tailwindcss, 1.9k stars), Networkx (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.6k stars), Citation Verification Guide (Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar, 5.7k stars) and Systematic Review Screener (Imbad0202/academic-research-skills, 51k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
