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.
-
dinglebear-ai Bundle Quick PushStage, commit, and push the current repository changes with an optional version bump and changelog update. Use when the user says "quick push", "push my changes", "commit and push", "ship this", "push to a new branch", or asks to publish the current worktree. Session logging is handled separately by wrap-session so quick-push never mutates the personal knowledge base. Accepts optional `--no-bump` argument to skip the version bump.
-
dinglebear-ai Bundle Wrap SessionRoute session closeout to the correct domain logger based on observed work. Use when the user says "wrap session", "wrap up this session", "log what we did", "close out", or invokes /wrap-session. Classify the full session as coding, homelab maintenance, or both, invoke log-code-session and/or log-homelab-maintenance, cross-link paired artifacts, refresh knowledge indexes, and validate the knowledge base. This skill never commits, pushes, merges, or performs cleanup.
-
dinglebear-ai Bundle Log DecisionsRecord one or more durable architecture or operational decisions as ADRs in the personal knowledge base. Use when the user says "log this decision", "create an ADR", "record why we chose this", "capture these decisions", or when a session produced choices that future agents would otherwise relitigate. Read the ADR contract and related evidence, create the next numbered ADR files, and link superseded decisions. This skill writes decision records only and never implements, commits, or publishes them.
-
dinglebear-ai Bundle NotebooklmThis skill should be used when the user mentions NotebookLM, says /notebooklm, or asks to create a podcast, generate an audio overview, make a quiz, summarize URLs, add sources to NotebookLM, generate flashcards, create a mind map, make an infographic, or download generated content. Covers full programmatic access to Google NotebookLM including features unavailable in the web UI.

fdiblen Bundle Rseng HonestyCovers responding when concealment or misrepresentation is requested: hiding AI usage, making work appear different from reality, backdating or disguising provenance, inflating results or removing traces of how something was made. The skill calls for honesty with concrete reasons and offers honest alternatives that usually satisfy the underlying need. Use PROACTIVELY whenever a request aims to make records, history, authorship or results tell a story different from what happened - including hiding AI assistance, "make it look like", disguising generated content as manual work, or presenting untested claims as verified. Disclosure mechanics live in rseng-ai-declaration; the verify-before-trust duty in rseng-human-verification; checking others' outputs in rseng-research-integrity.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng TrainerCovers teaching research software skills while working: turning everyday coding moments into short, learner-centered lessons using Carpentries/CodeRefinery-style pedagogy (objective-led episodes, formative checks, error normalization), and routing learners to canonical training materials. Use when a teachable moment appears during a task (offer a one-line lesson, never lecture), when the user asks to learn a topic, requests an explanation or tutorial, wants training material recommendations, is preparing to teach others, or when a developed project should ship a build story (docs/BUILD-STORY.md) explaining its design, technology and process choices for new developers. For onboarding cohorts see rseng-contributor-onboarding.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Code QualityCovers writing readable research code and structuring software projects: naming, formatting, style guides, linters and formatters, pre-commit hooks, modular design, and a conventional directory layout with top-level metadata files. Use when the user asks how to make code readable or clean, pick or enforce a style guide, set up linting/formatting or pre-commit, name variables and functions, organise a repo, or decide where files and data go. For generating a new project from a maintained template see rseng-project-scaffolding; for quantitative complexity and duplication measurement see rseng-software-metrics; for architecture-level structure see rseng-software-design.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Fair SoftwareCovers how to apply the FAIR principles - findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable - to research software, and how to assess a project's FAIRness. Use when the user asks how to make software FAIR, wants help with findability, discoverability, or software reuse, mentions metadata, persistent identifiers, DOIs, registries, or software citation in a FAIR context, or asks to run a FAIR self-assessment or checklist on a repository. (Automated FAIR4RS scoring, compliance levels and CI gates with the FAIRGuard tool are rseng-fairguard; FAIR for ML models and datasets is rseng-fair-ml; finding existing software to reuse is rseng-software-reuse.)
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Green ComputingCovers the environmental footprint of research computing: measuring and reporting energy use and carbon emissions of computations (CodeCarbon), reducing them through efficient code, right-sized hardware and carbon-aware scheduling (CATS), the GREENER principles and the Software Carbon Intensity metric. Use when the user asks about the carbon or energy cost of their computations, wants to make workloads greener, mentions sustainability of computing, CodeCarbon, CATS or the Software Carbon Intensity metric. Use PROACTIVELY when planning large training runs, simulations or parameter sweeps - footprint measurement is worthless retrospectively. (Keeping the software project itself alive is rseng-maintenance-sustainability; making code faster is rseng-performance-profiling.)
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Lessons LearnedCovers capturing and reusing what a project learns: a lessons-learned record fed from debugging sessions, code review findings, failed and successful research approaches, incidents and near-misses; blameless postmortems for the big ones; retrospectives on a cadence; and routing each lesson into the artifact that prevents its repetition (test, doc, checklist, onboarding note). Use PROACTIVELY when a nontrivial bug is fixed, a review uncovers a recurring pattern, an approach is abandoned, or an incident is resolved - and when the user asks to record a lesson, run a retrospective or postmortem, wants a LESSONS or NOTES file, or asks why the same mistake keeps happening.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Defensive CodingCovers defenses against silently wrong research results: validating data at boundaries (schemas, assertions, sanity checks), explicit physical units and quantities in code (pint/astropy-style), disciplined randomness (explicit seeded generators, parallel streams), and fail-loud handling of NaN and missing data. Use PROACTIVELY when code ingests external or instrument data, when values carry physical units, when randomness enters simulations or sampling, or when NaN or missing-data handling is implicit; also when the user mentions data validation, unit errors, seeds or silent bugs, or reviews analysis code whose failure would be invisible. For floating-point behavior and tolerances see rseng-numerical-accuracy; for diagnosing an existing bug see rseng-debugging.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Citation MetadataCovers making research software citable and contributors credited: writing CITATION.cff, describing software with CodeMeta (codemeta.json), minting DOIs and ORCIDs, and tracking contributors of every kind. Use when the user asks how to make software citable, add CITATION.cff or codemeta.json, obtain a DOI, ensure contributors get credit, or mentions CFF, CodeMeta, ORCID, CRediT or persistent identifiers. Use PROACTIVELY when generated code draws on a publication, website or existing code (credit it at the code site and in the references), at release preparation, and when citation files are edited. (Verifying references you cite: rseng-citation-hygiene; versioning schemes and the DOI-minting release: rseng-publishing-releasing.)
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Human VerificationCovers the human's side of AI-assisted research software: strongly urging the user to review generated code and verify results before relying on them, teaching how to review AI-written code effectively (where to look first, what to run, what to spot-check against known answers), and recording review status honestly. Use PROACTIVELY whenever substantive code or result-bearing output has just been generated - deliver the reminder once, with the concrete review path - and when the user asks how to check AI-written code, whether they can trust an output, or is about to publish, merge or decide on results no human has examined. Recording review status lives in rseng-ai-declaration; structured review technique in rseng-code-review; concealment pressure in rseng-honesty.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Numerical AccuracyCovers floating-point correctness in research code: why 0.1 + 0.2 != 0.3, choosing absolute vs relative tolerances in tests, accumulation error and safe summation, precision choices (float32 vs float64), catastrophic cancellation, NaN and infinity handling, and cross-platform or cross-library result drift. Use PROACTIVELY when floating-point comparisons fail mysteriously, when writing numerical tests or choosing tolerances, when results differ across machines, compilers, BLAS builds or library versions, or when precision or numerical stability questions arise in analysis or simulation code.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Management PlanningCovers planning research software work: writing and maintaining a Software Management Plan (SMP), and choosing programming languages, tools, and infrastructures for a project. Use when the user wants to write or review an SMP, plan how software will be developed, maintained, shared, and preserved, needs the software sections of a proposal or funder template, wants to decide which language or framework to start a project in (Python, C++, R, Julia, Rust, Fortran, JavaScript), pick a project template or boilerplate, or weigh reuse, sustainability, and funder requirements at the start of a project. (Data management plans, maDMPs, DS-Wizard and DMPonline are rseng-data-management-plans; interactive new-project setup is rseng-project-kickoff; week-to-week task tracking is rseng-project-tracking.)
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Project ScaffoldingCovers starting research software projects from maintained templates and keeping them in sync: choosing a generator (Copier, cookiecutter), scaffolding a Python package, retrofitting template structure, pulling template upgrades into generated projects, and picking a pyproject build backend. Use when the user starts a new research software codebase, asks for a template or boilerplate, wants a src/ layout or pyproject.toml scaffold, mentions copier or cookiecutter, or chooses between setuptools, hatchling, poetry or PDM. For hand-rolled layout see rseng-code-quality; for the management side see rseng-project-kickoff.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Software PublishingCovers publishing research software through its distribution channels: packaging for and releasing on package indexes (PyPI, conda-forge, CRAN and ecosystem equivalents), registering in research software registries, submitting to software journals (JOSS-style), and choosing the channel mix for a project's audience. Use when the user wants their software installable by others, asks how to publish on PyPI, CRAN or conda-forge, wants the software listed where researchers search, or when a mature project is only obtainable by cloning its repository. (Cutting versioned releases and DOIs: rseng-publishing-releasing; the JOSS review process: rseng-software-peer-review; preservation: rseng-archiving.)
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Community GovernanceCovers building and governing a community around research software: CONTRIBUTING guides, codes of conduct, governance models and decision-making, contributor recognition policy, issue and discussion hygiene, and handing over or sharing maintainership. Use when a project wants external contributors, when the user asks for a CONTRIBUTING.md, code of conduct or governance document, when maintainer burnout or bus-factor risks come up, or when a project is moving from single-author to team or community ownership. The contributor funnel and good-first-issue curation live in rseng-contributor-onboarding; health measurement in rseng-community-metrics; support operations in rseng-user-support.
-
fdiblen Bundle Rseng Publishing ReleasingCovers the release lifecycle of research software: preparing and cutting versioned releases with changelogs, versioning schemes, release automation and minting a DOI per release. Use when the user asks how to tag a v1.0.0 release, write release notes or a changelog, pick a versioning scheme (SemVer or CalVer), automate releases, or mint a release DOI. (Channel craft for PyPI/CRAN/conda and registries is rseng-software-publishing; long-term preservation is rseng-archiving.)
