Research & Search Agent Skills

Summarize or transcribe URLs, YouTube/videos, podcasts, articles, transcripts, PDFs, and local files.

Search your references and context knowledge base for patterns relevant to a current task. Use before implementing anything non-trivial to surface prior art from your analyzed repos.

Distill learnings from a completed repo analysis into reusable knowledge base entries in ~/.copilot/context/. Use after finishing a repo-analysis to make the learnings persistent and searchable.

Verify the accuracy of claims and statements by extracting individual assertions, identifying authoritative sources, cross-referencing evidence, and assigning confidence-scored verdicts. Use when the user requests fact checking or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Summarize text using extractive, abstractive, hierarchical, and multi-document techniques, producing concise outputs at configurable detail levels. Use when the user requests summarization or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Retrieve relevant information from a knowledge base using semantic, keyword, or hybrid search to ground a query. Use when the task starts with a corpus or index that must be searched; use context-ranking when candidate chunks already exist and only need ordering.

Capture, organize, and retrieve notes efficiently using structured formats, tagging, and file management for meetings, ideas, research, and daily logs. Use when the user requests note taking or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Conduct a structured literature review on a given topic by defining a search strategy, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracting key findings, and synthesizing results into a coherent academic review. Use when the user requests literature review or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

Build structured knowledge graphs from unstructured text by extracting entities, mapping relationships, generating graph triples, and visualizing the result. Use when the user requests knowledge graph creation or provides relevant inputs for this workflow.

User research specialist. Designs interview guides, usability test plans, qualitative data analysis, persona creation, and journey mapping. Complements Echo's UI validation. Use when user research design or analysis is needed.

A Twitter research and content intelligence skill. Use to analyze Twitter profiles, threads, and conversations for identifying pain points, extracting content angles, and converting Twitter intelligence into actionable insights.

Summarize URLs or files with the summarize CLI (web, PDFs, images, audio, YouTube).

Research a specific person for hyperpersonalized outreach using their public activity

Deep research on a prospect company using WebSearch for outreach personalization

Firecrawl gives agents and pipelines fast, reliable web context with strong search, scraping, and page-interaction tools. Umbrella skill that routes to firecrawl-search, firecrawl-scrape, and firecrawl-research, and documents install, credentials, and the keyless fallback.

Expert web research skill for professionals, creators, and curious individuals who need to research any topic quickly and thoroughly. Use this skill whenever the user wants to research a topic, find information, fact-check a claim, compare options, understand an industry, investigate a subject, or compile a research brief. Triggers: "research this for me", "find information about", "can you look into", "I need to understand", "compare these options", "what do I need to know about", "help me research", "give me a summary of", "fact-check this", or any request where the user wants comprehensive, organized information on a topic. Do NOT limit to obvious research requests — if the user is trying to make a decision or understand something complex, treat it as a research task.

Turn a theory-first research idea into a proof-oriented research plan. Use after idea-creator-analysis, or when the user asks for theorem targets, assumptions, proof obligations, impossibility routes, analysis validation, or a non-experimental plan.

Verify research idea novelty against recent literature. Use when user says "查新", "novelty check", "有没有人做过", "check novelty", or wants to verify a research idea is novel before implementing.

Generate and rank theory-first or proof-oriented research ideas. Use when the user wants non-experimental research ideas, theoretical methods, proof programs, theorem candidates, impossibility results, convergence/sample-complexity analyses, or "analysis" variants of idea creation.

Chrome-dependent academic literature scouting and idea planning. Use when the user gives a research idea, topic, question, or draft direction and wants Codex to browse Google, Google Scholar, and academic sources through the Codex Chrome plugin, identify relevant papers, explain what can be borrowed from them, and write a planNN.md before collecting PDFs or BibTeX.

Astropy is the core Python package for astronomy, providing essential functionality for astronomical research and data analysis.

Use when writing or editing typed Python scripts, parsing untyped input, choosing lightweight data shapes, or resolving common checker errors without project-scale type-system research.

Use to reconstruct what actually happened to one customer across every conversation, channel and handoff, for an escalation, complaint, post-mortem or goodwill decision. Trigger for "build a timeline for this customer", "what happened on this case", "summarize the back-and-forth before I decide", "when were they first told", escalation summaries, complaint investigations, or a case spanning several tickets.

Analyzes chat and call abandonment, queue patience, and what a high FCR may be hiding when abandoned contacts never become tickets.

Use to merge overlapping help articles without breaking search, bookmarks, or AI grounding — choosing a canonical page, setting redirects, and measuring post-merge impact. Trigger for "we have duplicate KB articles", consolidate help centre content, merge knowledge base articles, KB deduplication, article redirects, canonical help article, or overlapping docs confusing customers and search.

Search, download, and extract public-domain books from Project Gutenberg. Look up books by ID or keyword via gutendex, download plain-text and EPUB editions, strip licensing boilerplate, extract clean text from EPUB for illustrated works, and classify fiction vs non-fiction. Ships a portable CLI script with zero external dependencies. Use when the user says "gutenberg", "public domain", "download a book", "classic literature", "free ebook", "gutenberg.org", or names any public-domain title or author.

Search and retrieve academic papers from arXiv using their free REST API. No API key needed. Search by keyword, author, category, or ID. Combine with web_extract or the ocr-and-documents skill to read full paper content.

Fetch YouTube video transcripts and transform them into structured content (chapters, summaries, threads, blog posts). Use when the user shares a YouTube URL or video link, asks to summarize a video, requests a transcript, or wants to extract and reformat content from any YouTube video.

Use this skill to query your Google NotebookLM notebooks directly from Claude Code for source-grounded, citation-backed answers from Gemini. Browser automation, library management, persistent auth. Drastically reduced hallucinations through document-only responses.

Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process: (1) create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.
