What it does
Research is an agent skill from study8677/repobrain. Performs deep research on a topic via deepresearch. Simulates a multi-step research process and returns a comprehensive research result as a string.
Its SKILL.md is about 130 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `tools.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Deep research. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 RepoBrain (formerly Antigravity) — Give your repo a brain. ChatGPT for your codebase: works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf & more. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
Example prompts
- “Use the research skill to perform deep research on a topic via deepresearch. An agent skill from study8677/repobrain”
- “/research”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed8a5d0. 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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
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 128 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 42 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 study8677/repobrain at commit ed8a5d0, republished under its MIT licence (© study8677). 42 words, ~128 tokens.

Questions about Research
What does Research do?
Performs deep research on a topic via deepresearch. An agent skill from study8677/repobrain. Research is an agent skill from study8677/repobrain. Performs deep research on a topic via deepresearch.
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 study8677/repobrain --skill research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (engine/repobrain_engine/skills/research in study8677/repobrain) 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 study8677/repobrain --skill research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (engine/repobrain_engine/skills/research in study8677/repobrain) 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 study8677/repobrain --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?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Research needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
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 is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Research use?
About 128 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 512 characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Research?
