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.

gabrielmoreira Skill Method Gap DetectorDetects methodological gaps across study design, analysis, validation, bias control, reproducibility, and implementation readiness within a biomedical research area. Use this skill when a user wants to identify what current studies are still methodologically missing, which weaknesses are most consequential, and what upgrade path would produce a stronger next-step study. Always separate design gaps, analysis gaps, validation gaps, and reproducibility gaps. Never treat technical complexity as methodological rigor.

17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Topic Evidence MapperRapidly maps the evidence landscape around a medical topic by organizing major research streams, target populations, endpoints, methods, evidence density, and thin areas. Use this skill BEFORE medical-research-gap-finder — it provides the structured landscape that makes formal gap analysis more rigorous. Do not use for formal gap identification, study design, or protocol planning directly.

17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Table Narrative WriterConverts biomedical table content into clear manuscript or presentation narrative by prioritizing meaningful patterns, contrasts, and interpretation boundaries rather than restating every number.
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Target Journal MatcherMatches your study to appropriate journals based on topic, design, and evidence strength. Use when deciding where to submit a manuscript, comparing journal options by impact factor vs scope fit vs method tolerance, or finding a realistic submission target after a rejection. Also triggers on "where should I submit this paper", "which journal is best for my study", "find journals for my manuscript", "is this a good fit for [journal]", or "I need a journal with IF around X".
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Study Objective RefinerRefines broad, vague, or aspirational biomedical research objectives into clear, bounded, measurable, executable, and downstream-ready study objective statements. Always use this skill when a user has a general aim such as “explore a mechanism,” “study prognosis,” “investigate biomarkers,” or “look at treatment response,” but the objective is still too broad, non-operational, or too ambiguous to support protocol framing, design selection, analysis planning, or hypothesis design. Never assume that polished wording alone means the objective is actionable. Focus first on objective type, missing operational elements, scope discipline, and downstream-ready formulation.
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Cross Disciplinary Bridge FinderUse when identifying collaboration opportunities across fields, finding experts in complementary disciplines, translating methodologies between scientific domains, or building interdisciplinary research teams. Identifies synergies between scientific disciplines, matches researchers with complementary expertise, and facilitates cross-domain collaborations. Supports interdisciplinary grant applications and innovative research team formation.

gabrielmoreira Skill Author Response BuilderTurns reviewer comments into structured, professional point-by-point responses linked to manuscript revisions, clarifications, rebuttals, and additional analyses.
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Population Gap DetectorDetects overlooked, underrepresented, weakly resolved, or poorly validated populations and subgroups within a biomedical research area so users can identify more precise and meaningful study populations. Always use this skill when the real question is not just what is under-studied, but which populations, strata, or subgroups are missing, thinly represented, superficially analyzed, pooled without resolution, or insufficiently validated in the current evidence base. Focus on meaningful subgroup gaps rather than generic calls for diversity.
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Study Design IdentifierIdentifies the real underlying study design used in a medical or biomedical paper, distinguishes primary and secondary design components when papers are hybrid, and converts the paper into an evidence-aware design label suitable for literature appraisal, evidence grading, and downstream review workflows. Always identify the actual design from what the study did, not from how the authors describe it. Never fabricate references, metadata, or study features.
17 -
gabrielmoreira Skill Primary Plan RecommenderCompares multiple study-route options for the same biomedical research question and recommends one primary plan, while explicitly explaining why alternative routes are secondary, premature, weaker, or dependency-heavy. Always use this skill when the user already has a reasonably defined question but is unsure which main study route should anchor the project. Focus on plan comparison, route selection, dependency awareness, and primary-plan justification rather than full protocol drafting.
