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.
-
tomevault-io Bundle Map ViewLook up and record geolocations in Obsidian notes using the Map View plugin. Use as part of helping the user to plan a trip, research places to visit, record a location in a note, or whenever the content being added to a note includes named real-world places. Every time the user asks you add to a note something that is a location, consider using this skill so it will be logged as a geolocation. Also use when the user refers to a known place ("my home", "my office", "my hotel") — query their vault to find its coordinates, then use with other commands. Another usage is to measure distances, either aerial or by routing (foot/driving/cycling etc), e.g. for researching for places that are nearby a location, within a walking distance from it, within a driving distance, etc. Or to query for places around a point with the distancefrom operator. Use when this capability is needed.
