Research & Search

scdenney Skill

Interviews a researcher, in rounds, until a research idea, design, or draft has no silently assumed decision left — every question numbered, each with a plain-language "why this matters" and a recommended answer, facts fetched by the assistant rather than asked, and every settled decision written to a file. Three stages, idea (a topic or hunch → a falsifiable question and a contribution claim), design (a question → estimand, identification, sample and power, measurement, pre-registration, analysis plan, venue), and defend (a finished design or draft → the objections a reviewer would raise, before the reviewer does). Use when the user says "grill me", "grill this", "stress-test my idea/design/plan", "interview me about this project", "poke holes in this", "what am I assuming", or brings a research idea that is not yet a design. Suitable for BA, MA, and PhD students as well as grant designs; it never answers the research question for the researcher. Adapted for research from Matt Pocock's grill-me. For a softwa

scdenney Skill

Builds or audits a literature review — evidence map, closest prior work, source clusters, gap verdict, and a synthesis plan that feeds the introduction. Use when the user asks whether a contribution is novel, who else has studied a question, what the literature actually establishes, how to organize or restructure a review section, or wants a reading list, Zotero export, or pile of papers turned into a review. Produces a systematic-review protocol scaffold and hands off to registration (PROSPERO, OSF) and screening tools when the user asks for PRISMA or a meta-analysis.

cercova-studios Skill

Use the Readwise CLI to run relevance-first research across Reader documents and highlights, then synthesize an Obsidian-ready note with source-linked evidence and explicit confidence gaps. Use when researching topics from Readwise content for PKM workflows in Obsidian.

lerianstudio Skill

Routing feature planning through the ring-pm-team pre-dev workflow: choosing the Small Track (4 gates, <2 days) or Large Track (8 gates, 2+ days) and entering via ring:planning-small-features or ring:planning-large-features. Indexes pre-dev gates, standalone utilities, and research agents. Use when starting a feature that needs systematic planning. Skip for quick exploratory work, known-solution bug fixes, or trivial changes.

lerianstudio Skill

Researching the product/feature in depth before any planning document is written: the product itself, technical approach, third-party integrations, prior art, and existing codebase grounding (file:line refs) via parallel repo/web/docs agents using firecrawl and exa. Gate 0 of ring:using-pm-team (both tracks); runs before ring:writing-prds. Use before pre-dev planning a new feature or modification. Skip for trivial changes or when a recent research.md already exists.

rwilson504 Skill

Parse and summarize a Dataverse Classic Workflow XAML file (WF4, the `workflow` table) into a human-readable narrative. Use when user says "what does this workflow do", "summarize this workflow", "explain this XAML", "walk me through this workflow", "what triggers this", "what are the steps", "extract the trigger info", "is this real-time or background", "what scope does this run at", or pastes/points at a `.xaml` file from `pac solution clone` or `unpack`. Produces trigger + scope + mode + run-as details and a step-by-step narrative, resolving `mxswa:ActivityReference` wrappers and `[bracket]` VB.NET expressions into plain language. Do NOT use for editing XAML (use dataverse-classic-write), diffing two versions (use dataverse-classic-compare), or gap analysis against requirements (use dataverse-classic-analyze).

sitaggart Bundle

Use only when the user explicitly asks to search Slack or wants Slack discussions, decisions, or organizational context about a named topic.

carlvellotti Skill

Web research using Tavily and Firecrawl. Searches the web, reads pages, crawls sites, and synthesizes findings. Use when: (1) user says "web research", "research this", "look into", "find out about", "what's the latest on", "/web-research", (2) user needs information from the web to inform a decision, strategy, or content, (3) user provides a URL and wants it read/analyzed, (4) user wants competitive intel, market research, or topic deep-dives. NOT for: X/Twitter research, Reddit research, scraping for data pipelines, or browser automation unrelated to research.

nordeim Bundle

Steve Jobs' thinking framework and mode of expression. Based on deep research across 30+ primary sources including Isaacson's authorized biography, the Stanford address, the Lost Interview, the D Conference series, Make Something Wonderful, and more — distilling 6 core mental models, 8 decision heuristics, and a complete expressive DNA. Purpose: To serve as a thinking advisor, analyzing products, scrutinizing decisions, and providing feedback through Jobs' lens. Activate when the user mentions: "through Jobs' eyes", "how would Jobs see this", "Jobs mode", or "steve jobs perspective". Also activate on looser triggers like "help me think about this the way Jobs would", "what would Jobs do", or "switch to Jobs mode". Annotation convention: [Primary] = Jobs' own words/writing | [Secondary] = biographies/third-party accounts | [Inferred] = synthesis drawn from multiple sources Source credibility: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Primary official archive | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Authorized secondary | ⭐⭐⭐ = Aggregated/tertiary (cross-verify) Sources exclu
