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.
-
lohasle Skill Knowledge ManagementWrite and maintain knowledge base articles from resolved support issues. Use when a ticket has been resolved and the solution should be documented, when updating existing KB articles, or when creating how-to guides, troubleshooting docs, or FAQ entries.
-
mhylle Bundle Create PlanCreate detailed implementation plans through interactive research and iteration. This skill should be used when creating new implementation plans, designing feature specifications, planning technical work, or when the user asks to plan an implementation. Triggers on requests like "create a plan", "plan the implementation", "design how to implement", or when given a feature/task that needs structured planning before implementation.
-
nansen-ai Skill Nansen Web FetcherFetch and analyze content from one or more URLs using AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash). Use when you have specific URLs and need to extract or summarize their content. Pairs well with `nansen web search` results.
-
openai Bundle ZoominfoUse only when a focused Sales workflow has selected a present and connected ZoomInfo connector, or the user explicitly asks for ZoomInfo company search, contact search, enrichment, intent, similarity, recommendations, or research. Do not use when another enrichment source is selected.

mhylle Bundle Strategic CompactSuggest context compaction at optimal logical boundaries — between phases, after a research burst, after a debugging session ends — rather than waiting for the automatic compaction threshold to hit mid-task. Use when the user asks whether to compact, mentions context is getting long, wants to checkpoint before a big task, or when you notice the session is approaching a natural transition where compacting would preserve the next phase's context. Complements (doesn't replace) Claude Code's built-in auto-compaction. Triggers on "/strategic-compact", "should I compact", "when should I clear context", "getting long", or proactively at phase boundaries and session transitions.
-
openai Bundle Sales Company ResearchResearch companies, partners, and referral channels to shape draft outreach approaches, messages, or partner motions; exclude descriptive company profiling, list enrichment, and internal source finding.

-
phananhtuan09 Skill Idea ReviewUse when the user has a rough product, workflow, or system idea and wants to decide whether it is worth doing before creating a spec. Focus on value, fit, build-vs-reuse/open-source/SaaS alternatives, smallest useful scope, and a clear verdict: do-now, defer, reject, reuse-or-integrate, or research-more. Do NOT use when a spec already exists, when the user only wants open-ended brainstorming, or when the task is already a small implementation request.
-
artsmc-claude-dev-agents Bundle Research Gated Build PlanUse at the START of anything sizable, BEFORE writing code — when Mark says 'lets start the planning', 'I want to do some deep research', 'what does complete look like / what tickets remain / what are our current gaps', or 'do we already have a harness for this / is there a system we can use?'. Inventory what exists, scope the gap, persist research as artifacts, gate phases on human checkpoints. Also fires on 'what's left / which tickets remain and in what order', on 'first check the foundation — do we already have X set up?', and on any inventory-what-exists-before-we-build ask, for any project. Decides WHETHER and HOW to enter the execution skills (start-phase-plan, feature-new); run it first.
-
phananhtuan09 Skill Brainstorm PartnerUse when the user wants a read-only thinking partner to break down a vague idea, hard bug, unclear feature logic, or difficult technical decision before implementation. Focus on dialogue, codebase inspection, grounded hypotheses, web research when needed, and concrete next steps without editing files.
-

-
neuromechanist Bundle Grant WritingThis skill should be used when the user asks to "write a grant proposal", "draft specific aims", "write a research strategy", "create an NIH proposal", "create an NSF proposal", "write a significance section", "write an innovation section", "write an approach section", "draft a DP2 essay", "write an R01", "write an R21", "write a K99", "write an R03", "write a K08", "write a K23", "write an F31", "write an F32", "write a CAREER proposal", "write an SBIR", "write an STTR", "write an R43, R44, R41, or R42", "write a Phase I or Phase II application", "write a Fast-Track application", "write a commercialization plan", "write SBIR milestones", "write preliminary data", "write rigor and reproducibility", "draft potential problems and alternatives", "write a budget justification", "respond to reviewer comments", "write a resubmission introduction", "strengthen my specific aims", or mentions grant writing, proposal drafting, specific aims, research strategy, small business grants, or any NIH/NSF mechanism.
-
kurokeita Bundle Git CommitUse BEFORE running any write-side git or gh command (git commit, git commit --amend, git push --force / --tags, git reset --hard, git rebase, gh pr create, gh pr merge), and whenever the user asks to commit changes, write a commit message, or follow conventional commits. Provides the hard pre-commit protocol (stop, summarize, propose, ask, wait) plus the Conventional Commits format used for the proposed message.

nintendadev Skill Unikit EvolveLearn project rules from accumulated fix patches in .unikit/code/patches/. Analyzes past mistakes, extracts prevention points, classifies each as a coding rule (→ RULES.md) or a per-skill workflow rule (→ skill-context), and proposes them for approval. Use when the user wants to turn past fixes into rules — "evolve", "evolve the rules", "learn from past mistakes", "learn from the fixes", "analyze the patches", "what rules should we add from recent fixes". Best run after several /unikit-fix sessions have left patches behind. This derives rules from accumulated patch history — to add a single rule by hand use /unikit-rules, and to promote mature RULES.md entries into the knowledge base use /unikit-memory migrate-rules.
