What it does
C Research is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Summarize web URLs, PDFs, YouTube videos, and podcasts using the summarize CLI. Instantly extract key points from any content type without manual reading. Useful for research, link digests, and media review.
Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Podcasting. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Podcasting
Example prompts
- “/c-research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Always pass the full URL or absolute file path.
- For YouTube, use the full watch?v= URL — short links may not resolve.
- If the user asks to "look up", "read", or "check" a link, default to summarizing it.
- Present the summary in a clean, readable format — use bullet points for articles, prose for videos/podcasts.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash).
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:
youtube.compodcast-feed-url.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
C Research loads about 393 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 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
The full file from daxaur/openpaw at commit a2562d1, republished under its MIT licence (© daxaur). 121 words, ~393 tokens.
