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.

rishabhrawat35 Bundle Idea ResearchChecks whether a startup idea is worth building. Research agents dig, one sceptic tries to kill it, one builder tries to find the way in, one analyst counts, and an editor rejects any sentence a tired founder could not read. Asks what changed recently, so genuinely new ideas are not rejected for having no track record. India-first, plain English. Use when someone wants an idea checked, a market or competitor scan, gaps and threats, community or investor sentiment, or a go/no-go on a new bet.
