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 it whenever the answer needs current market numbers instead of memory. For on-chain pool depth and DEX trades use hive-dex-pool-analysis; for protocol TVL/fees/yields use hive-defi-research.
-
hive-intel Skill Hive Dex Pool AnalysisUse this skill when the user asks about a DEX pool or trading pair — liquidity depth, recent swaps/trades, OHLCV candles, trending pools, fee tiers, or token-level DEX flow on a chain — including "how deep is the X/Y pool", "what's trading on Uniswap", or a pasted pair address. For CEX prices, order books, and funding use hive-market-research; for whole-token diligence use hive-token-diligence.
