Research & Search

carlheath Skill

Aphorism database for citable lines. Distinguishes between user aphorisms (own, go to TELOS WISDOM.md) and external aphorisms (from other authors, go to a separate aphorism database). Supports search, categorisation, citation format, and retrieval for chronicles/scripts. [WHAT] Quote database where each aphorism has: text, author, source, domain tag, captured-on date. User-own aphorisms go to `~/.claude/memory/USER/TELOS/WISDOM.md`, external ones to `~/.claude/memory/KNOWLEDGE/Sources/aphorisms.md`. [WHEN] Use when: aphorism, quote, citable, "save this line", quotable, wisdom-quote, "who said X", find a quote about Y, "add to the quote database". Auto-activates after writing/editing if a line stands out. [LANGUAGE] Configurable. [EXPERTISE] Aphorism curation, quote attribution, citation format, retrieval.

carlheath Skill

Content-adaptive wisdom extraction from text/podcast/video/article/paper. Detects wisdom domains in the content and builds custom sections rather than static headers. 5 depth levels from Instant (1 section) to Comprehensive (10-15 sections + themes). [WHAT] Port of the Miessler ExtractWisdom pattern. Spicy/contrarian takes are required. Voice follows the user's conversational style — bullets should read like "tell me what you just saw", not a press release. [WHEN] Use when: extract wisdom, analyse podcast/video/article, key takeaways, what's interesting here, distill, summarise interview, "extract wisdom from". NOT for: knowledge archiving (use archive-to-vault), atomic notes (use atomize-zettel). [LANGUAGE] Source-matching by default; English if explicitly requested.

carlheath Skill

Hypothesis-driven experimentation loop. Formulates testable hypotheses, designs experiments, measures results, and iterates. [WHAT] Scientific method applied to any kind of question: formulate hypotheses, identify what would falsify them, design tests, analyse results, update understanding. Works for tech, policy, strategy, and research. [WHEN] Use when: hypothesis, experiment, test the assumption, scientific method, "is it actually true that..." [EXPERTISE] Hypothesis formulation, experiment design, falsification, iterative learning

brandonburrus Skill

This skill should be used to research a market and assess product-market opportunity: who the customers are, how big and reachable the market is, the competitive landscape, real demand signals, and where a wedge to fit might be. It applies when the user says "market research", "is there a market for this", "product-market fit", "PMF", "market size", "TAM", "competitive landscape", "who are the competitors", or "validate the market". The deliverable is an evidence-grounded opportunity brief with a go, refine, or no-go read. It should not be used for defining the product once the market is validated (use spec), for synthesizing feedback from existing users (use synthesize-feedback), for comparing technical tools or vendors to adopt (use research-solutions), or for general fact-finding (use deep-research).

brandonburrus Bundle

This skill should be used to research and decide among technical solutions, from the approach down to the specific tool. It applies when deciding the technical approach or mechanism ("what are the options", "which approach should we take", "sync vs async", "monolith vs service") and when selecting the named dev tool that implements it ("compare X vs Y", "Postgres vs Mongo", "which database/library/framework/service should we use", "shortlist tools for", "pick a tool for", "which auth provider"). The deliverable is a decision: an evaluation table for the approach, an evidence-grounded comparison matrix for the tool, each with a recommendation and trade-offs. It should not be used for the strategic build-vs-buy of a whole capability or buying a business app like a CRM (use research-build-vs-buy), digesting docs of a chosen tool (use ground-in-docs), assessing a product's market (use research-market), or general fact-finding (use deep-research).

product-on-purpose Bundle

Produces a clustered theme map that groups many raw notes, observations, quotes, or data points bottom-up into a small set of named, traceable themes (the KJ method). Use when a scattered pile of dozens to hundreds of existing items needs to become a few emergent themes, such as synthesizing user-research notes, support tickets, survey free-text, or retro stickies, and the right structure should emerge from the data rather than be imposed.
