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.

flonat Skill Task ManagementQuery and update recorded planning and research portfolio state across tasks, topics, papers, outputs, submissions, venues, people, institutions, and deadlines. Use when asking what is already recorded, including institution- or venue-associated topics, or when doing daily planning and weekly review. For venue suitability recommendations, inspect recorded state first and then use the venue-recommendation workflow.
-
flonat Skill Code ArchaeologyRecover the structure, intent, and lineage of old code, data, or analysis files. Use when inherited or dormant research code must be understood before it is changed. Not for a quality review of already-understood code.
-
dmzoneill Skill Gather ContextGather relevant context for a task using code search, knowledge base, and known issues. Use at the start of skills that need context about a Jira issue, feature, bug, or code review.
-
dmzoneill Skill Research TopicResearch a topic thoroughly using code search, memory, knowledge, and optional web search. Use when you need to understand something before taking action.
-
dmzoneill Skill Gdrive ResearchSearch Google Drive for documents - full-text search, filter by type, browse folders, cross-reference Gmail. Use when user says "search Drive", "find docs", "GDrive research".
-
flonat Skill Compile KnowledgeCompile literature, meeting notes, session logs, and code findings into a structured per-project knowledge wiki. Use when project evidence is scattered across source records and needs synthesis into durable articles. Not for promoting existing articles into the global vault wiki; use $wiki-grow.
-
flonat Bundle Multi PerspectiveExplore a research question through several independent analytical perspectives and synthesize their agreements and disagreements. Use when one line of reasoning is insufficient and distinct viewpoints should be preserved.
-
flonat Skill Init Project LightBootstrap a lightweight project with minimal guidance, context, and repository structure. Use when a small non-research project needs durable AI collaboration without the full research or course scaffold. Not for formal research projects; use $init-project-research.
-
amo-tech-ai-rocket-path-ai Skill Gemini Interactions APIUse this skill when writing code that calls the Gemini API for text generation, multi-turn chat, multimodal understanding, image generation, streaming responses, background research tasks, function calling, structured output, or migrating from the old generateContent API. This skill covers the Interactions API, the recommended way to use Gemini models and agents in Python and TypeScript.
-
dmzoneill Skill Summarize FindingsCreate a summary of research findings from the current session. Reviews session logs, compiles findings, optionally saves to memory. Use at the end of a research session to capture learnings.
-
flonat Bundle Computational ExperimentsScaffold, execute, analyse, and publish computational research experiments through a reproducible staged workflow. Use when a research question requires simulations or computational sweeps rather than a one-off script.
-
flonat Bundle Init Project OrchestrationCreate or migrate project-level agents, repeatable project workflows, and planning state from one client-neutral contract, then render repository-scoped adapters for both Claude Code and Codex. Use when a research project needs role separation, project commands, formal phase tracking, or conversion from an existing Claude-only .claude/agents and .claude/commands setup.

avav25 Bundle AnalyzeUse this skill when the user asks to analyze, investigate, assess, evaluate, compare, or research a codebase, architecture, system, product, market, or research topic in a structured way — including requests that need explicit scope, framework-driven reasoning, and separated facts/inference/recommendation but do not use the word "analyze" — to run a deep analysis workflow producing traceable scope, evidence, and conclusions. Not for quick one-off lookups or implementation work — this is an investigation-and-conclusions workflow.
