About this skill

Research Analyst is a skill in simranjeet97/Awsome_AI_Agents (229 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, with 1 other file in the folder (references). Licence: Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Refer to references/search_strategies.md to optimize your queries.
  2. Execute the necessary searches using the google_search tool.
  3. Synthesize the findings into clear, well-structured sections matching the plan.
  4. IMPORTANT: Include source citations for all key claims.
  5. Write the final synthesis to session state under key "findings".

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec33ccf. 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 Analyst loads about 150 tokens when it runs, and up to ~228 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 61 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~150
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~228

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.
