Research topics by verifying actual source content. An agent skill from spences10/svelte-claude-skills.

  • Works in 4 steps: Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or… → Read the complete relevant sections → Verify claims match what source actually… → …
  • Asked to research
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Core Rule, Common Pitfalls and When Uncertain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Research is an agent skill from spences10/svelte-claude-skills. Research topics by verifying actual source content. Use when asked to research or study links and documentation.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/repo-cloning-pattern.md` and `references/verification-patterns.md`).

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to research
  • Study links and documentation

Example prompts

  • “/research”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebFetch, mcp__mcp-omnisearch__web_search, mcp__mcp-omnisearch__kagi_summarizer_process, Read, Grep, Bash, Task

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch the actual source (WebFetch or extract tools)
  2. Read the complete relevant sections
  3. Verify claims match what source actually says
  4. Quote specific passages when making claims

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0152f42. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • WebFetch
    • mcp__mcp-omnisearch__web_search
    • mcp__mcp-omnisearch__kagi_summarizer_process
    • Read
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • Task

    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

    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 346 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~346
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 103 words (~346 tokens).

When should I use Research?

Research fits situations like: asked to research; study links and documentation.

How do I install Research in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add spences10/svelte-claude-skills --skill research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/research in spences10/svelte-claude-skills) 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 spences10/svelte-claude-skills --skill research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/research in spences10/svelte-claude-skills) 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 spences10/svelte-claude-skills --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. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: WebFetch, mcp__mcp-omnisearch__web_search, mcp__mcp-omnisearch__kagi_summarizer_process, Read, Grep, Bash, Task.

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 notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Research use?

No licence was found for Research or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Research use?

About 346 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.4k 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 1.1k 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: Verify (asgeirtj/system_prompts_leaks, 69k stars), Verify Before Completion (Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode, 40k stars), Verify This (cursor/plugins, 10k stars) and Verify Release (openclaw/openclaw, 392k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
