Command /tfw-research runs structured Trace-First Workflow research and creates RES plus stage traces.

  • A TFW investigation
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • A research iteration

What it does

Tfw Research is an agent skill from saubakirov/KZ-IT-telegram-list. Command /tfw-research runs structured Trace-First Workflow research and creates RES plus stage traces. Use for /tfw-research, a TFW investigation, a research iteration, or a RES artifact.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 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: Verified catalog of Kazakhstan IT and startup Telegram groups, channels, and bots — in English, Russian, and Kazakh.

When your agent uses it

  • A TFW investigation
  • A research iteration

Example prompts

  • “/tfw-research”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13a88a0. 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

Tfw Research loads about 320 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~320

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 129 words (~320 tokens).

“This repository skill implements the /tfw-research command.”
