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.
-
jackin-project Bundle Jackin ResearchUse only when the user explicitly requests this skill. Produces a standalone multi-page research dossier on the jackin❯ docs site, drawing on web and codebase evidence.
-
lllllllama Bundle Run TrainRigor Train skill for deep learning research repositories. Use when a documented or selected training command should be run conservatively for startup verification, short-run verification, full kickoff, or resume, with command, config, seed, log, checkpoint, status, and metric evidence written to standardized `train_outputs/`. Do not use for environment setup, exploratory sweeps, speculative idea implementation, or end-to-end orchestration.
-
lllllllama Bundle Explore RunRigor Improve / Rigor Explore run leaf skill for bounded exploratory evidence in deep learning research repositories. Use when the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory runs such as small-subset validation, short-cycle guess-and-check, batch sweeps, idle-GPU search, or quick transfer-learning trials, with fair-comparison caveats and no-overclaim summaries in `explore_outputs/`. Do not use for end-to-end exploration orchestration on top of `current_research`, trusted baseline execution, conservative training verification, default routing, verified SOTA claims, or implicit experimentation.
-
lllllllama Bundle Explore CodeRigor Improve implementation leaf skill for auditable candidate implementation in deep learning research repositories. Use when the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory work on an isolated branch or worktree to transplant modules, adapt a backbone, add LoRA or adapter layers, replace a head, or stitch together meaningful low-risk migration ideas with rollback-aware records in `explore_outputs/`. Do not use for end-to-end exploration orchestration on top of `current_research`, trusted baseline reproduction, conservative debugging, environment setup, verified contribution claims, or default repository analysis.
-
riekelt-technical-writer Skill Writing ChangelogsUse when writing a changelog entry, release notes, or a "what shipped" summary after completing work. Encodes the entry shape, the handover template, and the honesty conventions. Use after shipping meaningful work, even if the user just says "summarize what we did".

firecrawl-firecrawl-workflows Skill Firecrawl Research PapersFind and synthesize research papers, whitepapers, PDFs, technical reports, and academic sources with Firecrawl Research, using semantic paper search, related-paper expansion, and in-body verification over Firecrawl's paper index — largely biomedical and life-science literature from PubMed, bioRxiv, and medRxiv, plus arXiv preprints in CS, physics, and math. Use when the user wants a literature review, systematic review, survey of studies, paper summary, research landscape, or sourced synthesis from scholarly and industry publications, including clinical, drug, gene, disease, epidemiology, and public-health topics. Prefer this over a general web-research workflow whenever the evidence base is published papers rather than web pages.

paulnsorensen Bundle MoldTurn a high-leverage design decision into an approved spec through grounded dialogue. Use it when a leverage trigger fires (auth, irreversible effects, concurrency, contracts, destructive ops, a new slice, a cross-slice dependency, an invariant gap) or when the user asks for a spec or design. Typical phrases include "let's design X", "shape this into a spec", "what should the API for Z look like", and "/mold". A feature ask with zero fired triggers is a `/cook` mini-spec, not a mold; route it through `/cheese`. Do NOT use it for free-form discussion without artifact intent (`/culture`), direct implementation (`/cook`), or research-only questions (`/briesearch`). Ceremony scales to the ask through `references/tiers.md`, so a small clear change gets a one-confirm mini-spec rather than the full dialogue.

Also use during deep research when you need to ground findings in academic literature. Do NOT use for general web searches -- use web-search for that.
-
brightdata Bundle Brand ListeningSocial listening and brand reputation research using Bright Data's web scraping infrastructure. Collects what real people are saying about a brand, product, or person across Reddit, X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, news, and review sites — then classifies sentiment, clusters themes, and delivers a cited digest with actionable recommendations. Use this skill when the user wants to know what people are saying about their brand, monitor social media mentions, gauge public sentiment, track online reputation, find complaints or advocacy, measure buzz around a launch, or do social listening / brand monitoring / sentiment analysis. Also use when the user mentions brand mentions, brand health, reputation tracking, or "what's the internet saying about us".
-
brightdata Bundle Price ComparisonShopping price comparison using Bright Data's web scraping infrastructure. Finds where a product is sold, for how much, and whether it's in stock — across Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Google Shopping, and any retailer URL — then ranks the offers into a single buy-recommendation table. Use this skill when the user wants to compare prices, find the cheapest place to buy something, do a price check, see "how much does X cost on Amazon vs Walmart", track an item's price, or decide where to buy a product. Handles product names, ASINs, and direct URLs, and is region-aware (country affects price, availability, and which retailers apply). This is consumer purchase-decision research — for analyzing a competitor's pricing *strategy*, use competitive-intel instead.

coreyhaines31 Bundle Company BrainYour team's shared, AI-ready knowledge base — people, companies, meetings, SOPs, and decisions structured so Claude can answer questions on your team's behalf. Team-scope sibling to second-brain (which is personal-scope). Seven modes — capture (drop something into the right structured dir), compile (process into wiki pages, update INDEX.md), query (answer from the corpus with trust weighting, save to outputs/), review (triage queue — verify / deprecate / supersede unreviewed and stale captures so wrong info never becomes context), lint (orphans / stale / contradictions / gaps), connect (suggest new wikilinks), search (quick lookup). Structured raw dirs (people/, companies/, meetings/, sops/, decisions/, customer-language/, recurring-questions/, sales-objections/) instead of second-brain's flat type-prefixed raw/. Multi-author aware — every capture stamps author + timestamp + trust status. Optional auto-sync from Fathom/Gong/Granola call transcripts, Slack/email exports, CRM. Defaults to a vault at ${COMPANY_B
