Recursive Research

plugin

Recursive research up to PhD level across any domain (science, tech, business, arts, humanities). Source tiering (Tier 1/2/3/rejected), WDM + Munger inversion for autonomous decisions, and disk checkpointing to survive context compaction. Works with web sources, local files, or mixed mode — interactive setup asks for seed, priority/excluded sources, and cycle cap before starting.

Works with: Claude Code (native)
native: this artifact type is that client's own format

Install (Claude Code):

/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install recursive-research@claude-community

solid

“6 worked examples; short of deep on per-tool docs and a stated limitation”

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

tashan Pro$6/mo

Recursive Research scores 33 today. Pro keeps the series, so you can see whether that is a project getting better or one on its way down.

The replacement, named — not just the news that something died

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
