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 Bootstrap ResearchSets up a research/experiments project's CLAUDE.md and docs/ memory structure in one shot — a stronger replacement for /init for research work. Use this skill whenever the user starts a new research project, experiment notebook, paper repo, or scientific investigation; asks to "init", "initialize", "bootstrap", or "set up" a research repo; mentions creating CLAUDE.md for a study/experiment/paper workflow; or has a fresh repo containing data/, notebooks, papers, or experiment scripts. Auto-detects research signals (jupyter notebooks, scientific Python libs, papers/ or data/ folders, etc.) and generates a research-specific CLAUDE.md with reproducibility-first conventions, plus docs/ folder including experiments.md, findings.md, literature.md, progress.md, decisions.md, overview.md, and todo.md. Trigger this even when the user just says "/init" or "set up this project" in any repo that smells like research.
