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.

yogsoth-ai Skill Knowledge AcquisitionResearch Knowledge Acquisition Engine with 5 campaigns (literature-survey, patent-mining, benchmark-archaeology, meta-analysis, baseline-establishment). Use this skill whenever a user needs to systematically acquire research knowledge — academic literature, patent landscapes, benchmark evaluations, cross-study statistical synthesis, or SOTA performance baselines. Pre-condition: north-star-crystallization must be complete.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Knowledge Compilation
Tactic for compiling research findings into vault pages — orchestrates page creation, updates, edge linking, and index maintenance. Minimum yield ≥3 page operations per invocation.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Patent Family Tracing
Forward/backward patent citation and priority tracing until saturation
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Theory Identification
SOP: Identify theoretical frameworks relevant to a research gap
-
cerredz Skill ReapUse this skill when the user wants to read an argumentative, philosophical, policy, opinion, or other author-framed source through Read, Encode, Annotate, and Ponder. Prefer SQ3R for factual extraction and read-paper for research-signal extraction.
- cerredz Skill Sq3r
Use this skill when the user wants to actively read and retain a structured textbook chapter, lecture transcript, technical article, whitepaper, or other expository nonfiction through Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. Do not use for research papers, fiction, short unstructured text, or quick reference lookups.
- cerredz Skill Research
Use when the user invokes /research. Delivers answers grounded in what is actually known and verified, with explicit source attribution and epistemic labeling on every claim. Distinguishes established consensus from preliminary findings, flags contested areas, and explicitly marks inferences as separate from findings. Sources must be peer-reviewed.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Constraint Elicitation
Structured questioning SOP to identify practical constraints that shape the research spec. Used during spec generation.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Comparative Formulation
Strategy: Construct comparative research questions — systematic comparison of A vs B
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Sub Question Generation
SOP: Decompose a main research question into independently answerable sub-questions
- yogsoth-ai Skill Convergence Web Research
Deep web research with full-page extraction — detailed methodology guides, tutorials, implementation references.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Landscape Reconnaissance
Broad, shallow exploration of candidate research fields. Understand what's out there before narrowing. Use when the user needs to discover which fields are available to them — especially in cold-start and warm-start scenarios.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Question Refinement Loop
Tactic: iteratively refine a research question until it passes all 5 FINER criteria
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Citation Network Analysis
Build and analyze patent citation networks — main path analysis, PageRank, cluster detection
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Decomposition Formulation
Strategy: decompose a complex research question into a hierarchy of independently answerable sub-questions
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Generate Candidate Fields
Propose 3-8 candidate research fields based on the full ActorProfile. When user wants to explore beyond their current stack, use other ActorProfile signals (intentionality, boundary) to determine exploration space. Free exploration within the boundary.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Convergence Paper Research
Full-text deep reading of methodology papers — complete understanding of algorithms, proofs, and implementation details.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Scenario Impact Assessment
Assess each scenario's impact on the research approach across multiple dimensions
- yogsoth-ai Skill Stress Test Paper Overview
Paper landscape scan returning abstracts and metadata. Import of literature-engine/paper-overview skill. Abstracts only — no conclusions from abstracts.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Stress Test Paper Research
Paper full text access via alphaxiv answer_pdf_queries or get_paper_content(fullText=true). Import of literature-engine/paper-research skill. Raw extracted text for precise claims.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Strategy Robustness Testing
Orchestrates impact assessment and robustness scoring to evaluate research approach resilience across scenarios
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Success Criteria Definition
SOP: Define measurable success criteria for a research question
- yogsoth-ai Skill Formated Specs
Spec-slot skill for the research-executor. Emit the 4-layer DARE orchestration of the assigned topic as one research-graph JSON fenced block in your reply. Replaces the generic spec-writing step.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Evidence Based Prioritization
Strategy: evidence-strength-based AHRQ PiCMe assessment — drive gap prioritization with the quality of literature evidence
- yogsoth-ai Skill Creative Ideation Paper Search
Mid-depth paper analysis via AI-generated summaries. Import of literature-engine/literature-search skill. Reads AI summary — sufficient for methodology understanding but not for quoting specific results.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Creative Ideation Web Research
Deep web page analysis with full content extraction. Import of web-browsing/web-research skill. Must fetch full page via apify — no shortcuts.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Formated Results
Closing skill for the research-executor, loaded as the last step of formated-specs. Summarize the design just produced into one research-result JSON fenced block in your reply. Do not execute the research.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Creative Ideation Paper Overview
Abstract-level paper scanning for broad coverage. Import of literature-engine/literature-overview skill. Abstract-level only — no methodology conclusions from abstracts.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Creative Ideation Paper Research
Deep paper analysis with full text reading. Import of literature-engine/literature-research skill. Full text access — required for quoting results, verifying claims, extracting detailed methodology.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Injection Fidelity
Loss-1 judge (codex role). Given one sample's de-identified dialogue and its PolicyCard, decide axis-by-axis whether the user-simulator enacted the card's per-axis pressure. Judge enactment of the card, never whether the research is good.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Experiment Execution Paper Search
Import SOP: paper AI summary reading (from literature-engine skill)
- yogsoth-ai Skill Experiment Execution Web Research
Import SOP: deep full-page content analysis (from web-browsing skill)
