Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.

majiayu000 Bundle Interview MeInteractive interview that formalizes a fuzzy research idea into a structured spec (RQ, hypotheses, identification, data needs, empirical strategy). Use when user says "interview me", "help me think through this idea", "I have a half-baked idea", "formalize this into a project", "walk me through framing a study". Multi-turn Q&A; saves spec to disk. NOT for lit review (`/lit-review`) or ideation from scratch (`/research-ideation`).

majiayu000 Bundle Research WebDeep web research with parallel investigators, multi-wave exploration, and structured synthesis. Spawns multiple web-researcher agents to explore different facets of a topic simultaneously, launches additional waves when gaps are identified, then synthesizes findings. Use when asked to research, investigate, compare options, find best practices, or gather comprehensive information from the web.\n\nThoroughness: quick for factual lookups | medium for focused topics | thorough for comparisons/evaluations (waves continue while critical gaps remain) | very-thorough for comprehensive research (waves continue until satisficed). Auto-selects if not specified.
