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.

sidsaladi9 Skill PersonasCreate evidence-based user personas — or honest proto-personas when data is thin. Use when someone says "create a persona", "build user personas", "proto-persona for X", "who are our users", or "turn this research into personas". Focuses on goals, jobs-to-be-done, pains, and real behavior, then shows how to use personas to make product decisions.
-
sidsaladi9 Skill Journey MapBuild a customer journey map across stages — actions, thoughts, emotions, touchpoints, pain points, and the single biggest opportunity per stage — grounded in evidence with assumptions flagged. Use when someone says "map the customer journey", "build a journey map", "where do users drop off", "what's the experience from awareness to renewal", or "turn this research into a journey".
-
sidsaladi9 Skill Release NotesTurns a list of shipped changes into audience-tiered release notes — a benefit-led user-facing changelog, a what/why/impact internal log, and a short social announcement cut. Use when you say "write release notes," "draft the changelog," "we just shipped X, announce it," "turn these tickets into release notes," or "summarize this release for customers and the team."

onedro1d Bundle Df Video IntakeParse a video (mp4/mov/webm) into a transcript + timestamped frames so Claude can consume it, then extract context — specifically Dark Factory requirements — from it. Use when given a recording, demo, app walkthrough, screen recording, or "video" to summarize or turn into requirements/specs; when asked to "watch", "process", "consume", or "transcribe" a video; or to extract requirements/context from a demo for a dark factory build (PO vision, data contracts, validation rules, test scenarios).

jperrello Bundle Title TransitionAnimate the title as a COLD OPEN in the TOP banner over the live opening footage — no blocking center card — held until TITLE_SWAP (default 2.0s) so brand-overlays can hand off to the source citation in the same slot. Frame 1 stays content (a face mid-sentence) to protect the swipe-rate / "Stayed to Watch" signal. ONE animation for every short — the glitch style (RGB-split banner + scanline tear, style-matched zap/crackle SFX) — a PIL frame sequence anchored at TITLE_ANCHOR_FRAC (default 0.135).
