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.

Use this skill whenever the user mentions a badge, badge renewal, expiring badge, building access, door access, room access, West Lot parking for a non-staff person, or getting a research associate, affiliate, visitor, or contractor into NIRC spaces or the collections — even if they never name the form. Also use it for the questions this process raises: whether after-hours or weekend access is possible, who has to approve it, how far in advance to submit, and whether someone should go through this form or through HR. Restricted to curators; other Museum staff may prepare a draft but must route it to a curator for submission.
