What it does
Research is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Deep research on a topic with web sources, memory integration, and stored findings. Also handles quick context-aware lookups when current information would improve the conversation. Triggers on "research this", "look into", "find out about", "dig into", "look up", "what's new with", "check current", "any updates on", "latest info".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/source-evaluation.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
Example prompts
- “research this”
- “look into”
- “find out about”
- “/research”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Scope the Research
- Check Memory First
- Context-Aware Query Building
- Research
- Synthesize and Report
- Store and Connect
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. 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 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 843 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 843 words (~2,251 tokens).
“Deep research on a topic, grounded in web sources and connected to Claudia's memory. Also handles context-aware lookups when current external information would improve quality.”

When should I use Research?
Research fits situations like: tasks that involve Deep research.
How do I install Research in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add kbanc85/claudia --skill research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/claudia/skills/research in kbanc85/claudia) 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 kbanc85/claudia --skill research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/claudia/skills/research in kbanc85/claudia) 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 kbanc85/claudia --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 has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Research use?
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Research?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Research: GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 83k stars), Deep Research Workflow (TokenRhythm/opensquilla, 7.1k stars), X Research (rohunvora/x-research-skill, 1.2k stars) and Deep Research (sanjay3290/ai-skills, 431 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
