A safer alternative to 'act as a researcher' prompts
The 'act as an expert researcher' prompt is everywhere. It changes the tone of the answer, but it does not make the research real, sourced or safe.
What to watch for
- They do not actually verify sources, so confident wrong answers come out looking authoritative.
- Ones that do reach the web are often unchecked and can be steered by whatever page they read.
- No one has reviewed the instructions you are pasting in.

FAQ
Is the AgentPod alternative to research prompt free?
Yes. You copy a short prompt, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, and it works. No account, no install, no payment.
What makes it safer than a random research prompt?
Every skill on AgentPod is read line by line and checked for hidden instructions that could trick your AI, secret data collection, and anything unsafe before it goes live, and each asks for the least access it needs. A prompt you copy off social media has had none of that done to it.
Does it work in ChatGPT and Claude?
Yes. The skills work the same in ChatGPT and Claude. The same teach prompt works in either one.
