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.
-
boisenoise Skill Ln 312 Review Findings WorkerUse when an evaluation coordinator needs normalized findings from target artifacts and research evidence.
-
199-biotechnologies Bundle GeminiUse Google Gemini CLI for second opinions, grounding, broad analysis, verification, code review, or delegated autonomous tasks. Triggers when user says "use gemini", "ask gemini", "gemini check", "double check with gemini", "verify with gemini", "gemini analyze", "gemini review", "gemini implement", "have gemini do", "what does Gemini think", "Google's take", "cross-check with gemini", "ground this", or wants an alternative AI perspective. Gemini's 1M token context and web-connected tools make it especially strong for grounding work in reality, large-codebase analysis, and broad research. See also: the Codex skill for code-heavy tasks.
-

-
narumiruna Bundle Gurume CLIUse the `gurume` CLI to search Japanese restaurants on Tabelog. Trigger this whenever the user wants to find, recommend, or research restaurants/eateries in Japan — by area (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, 三重, etc.), by cuisine (ramen, sushi, yakiniku, izakaya...), or with a vague request like "where should I eat in Shibuya" or "any good unagi spots near Tokyo Station". Use this even when the user does not explicitly mention Tabelog or the `gurume` tool, as long as the intent is finding Japanese restaurants.
-
narumiruna Skill LyUse when answering Taiwan Legislative Yuan data requests with the `ly` CLI, including bills, laws, meetings, votes, legislators, committees, gazettes, interpellations, IVOD recordings, amendment history, proposal records, and meeting agendas.

nmahavishnu Skill PlanloopUse when the user asks to build, implement, plan, design, research, or figure out something that is not a trivial one-step edit: any task with an unresolved requirement, anything ambiguous enough to need a decision, or anything large enough to need multiple steps or to outlive one session. Also use whenever the user says "planloop". Once triggered, it runs a loop: ask a small batched round of questions, compile the answers into plan.md, get approval, deliver in verified slices, then surface what is still open. Skip only for fully specified one-step tasks, quick factual questions, and trivial edits.
