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.

- chanw-research Skill Ask
Ask the wiki a question, retrieve and synthesize relevant pages, optionally crystallize the answer back into the wiki
- chanw-research Skill Edit
Add or remove raw sources, or update wiki content, per user request
- chanw-research Skill Reset
Reset wiki state to a clean scaffold by scope (wiki / raw / log / checkpoints / all). Useful during development or carefree restarts after a botched setup.
- chanw-research Skill Ideate
Ideate
- chanw-research Skill Refine
General-purpose multi-round iterative improvement — repeatedly calls /review on any research artifact, parses feedback, applies fixes, updates wiki, until the target score is reached
- chanw-research Skill Survey
Generate a Related Work section for a paper from wiki knowledge — thematic grouping → narrative structure → LaTeX output, following citation-verification and academic-writing
- chanw-research Bundle Prefill
Seed wiki/foundations/ with domain background knowledge so subsequent /ingest does not create duplicate concept pages for textbook material
- chanw-research Bundle Discover
Build a ranked shortlist of candidate papers (anchor-driven, topic-driven, or derived from current wiki state) that the user — or an upstream skill — may decide to feed into `/ingest`. Use whenever the user asks "what should I read next", "find papers similar to this one", "recommend related work", "what's around this topic", or whenever `/ingest` is invoked with `--discover`. Does not ingest; only proposes.
- chanw-research Skill Stata Plan
将实证研究设计转成 Stata 执行计划或 do 文件骨架，包含数据合并、变量构造、描述统计、回归和稳健性
- chanw-research Skill Daily Arxiv
Daily arXiv pull, relevance filtering, auto-ingest of high-priority papers, and SOTA update detection
- chanw-research Skill Paper Draft
Draft a LaTeX paper from PAPER_PLAN — write each section from wiki sources + generate figures/tables + BibTeX verification + de-AI polish
- chanw-research Skill Empirical Ingest
将一篇经管实证论文摄取为实证研究 wiki：论文卡片 + 变量 + 数据 + 模型 + 机制 + 识别 + 稳健性 + 异质性 + 表格线索

sashamarchuk Skill Distill Brief(beta) Distill ONE kept chat into a paste-ready first message at briefs/UNNN.brief.md plus a target title at briefs/UNNN.name.txt; standing requirements only; summarize long chats and overflow to a project knowledge doc above max_brief_tokens. Called by launch-worker.sh in parallel subprocesses. Self-contained - no conversation history assumed.
-
caoronglin Skill NewsLook up the latest news for the user from specified news sites. Provides authoritative URLs for politics, finance, society, world, tech, sports, and entertainment. Use browser_use to open each URL and snapshot to get content, then summarize for the user.
- caoronglin Skill Deep Research
深度调研入口，智能整合多源搜索和摘要能力。用户说"调研"、"研究"、"深度搜索"、"总结内容"时使用。
-
tylerprogramming Bundle Yt Deep ResearchSearch YouTube, transcribe the top 2 results, and deliver a deep analysis.
-
nevitonsantana Bundle Business DesignTurn messy research and signals into structured product or business strategy with explicit facts, interpretations, hypotheses, and implications.
-
yarlson Skill System InvestigateInvestigate an underdefined product, codebase, architecture, integration, or operational question through read-only repository tracing, bounded runtime evidence, and current public research. Use when the user wants to validate suspected behavior, explain why it occurs, compare plausible designs for existing behavior, or recommend the smallest safe change before planning or implementation; not for designing a new system or feature, which belongs to system-design.
-
zimoliao Skill GraphUse when the user asks about citation relationships, references, citing papers, shared references, bibliographic overlap, or graph-style paper connections.
- zimoliao Skill Insights
Use when the user wants to analyze research behavior, search hot keywords, most-read papers, reading trends, active workspaces, or unread semantic neighbors.
- zimoliao Skill Citations
Use when the user asks about highly cited papers, citation rankings, or updating citation counts from external APIs.
- zimoliao Skill Research Gap
Use when the user wants to identify research gaps, open questions, unexplored areas, cross-paper limitations, or future directions from workspace literature.
- zimoliao Skill Paper Writing
Use when the user wants help drafting or revising a research paper section, including Introduction, Related Work, Method, Results, Discussion, or Conclusion.
- zimoliao Skill Citation Check
Use when the user wants to verify citations in AI-generated or human-written text against the local knowledge base and catch hallucinated, wrong, or missing references.
- zimoliao Skill Literature Review
Use when the user wants to draft a literature review, survey a research area, summarize a field, organize workspace papers, identify gaps, or export review references.
- zimoliao Skill Paper Guided Reading
Use when the user wants guided reading, deep reading, or structured analysis of a single paper, starting from fuzzy keywords or a research question.

claude-hangar Bundle Session RecapSummarize the pre-compact snapshot produced by the PreCompact hook into a human-readable recap. Equivalent to Claude Code's `/recap` but driven by Hangar snapshots so it works across sessions even without telemetry. Use when: "recap", "where did we stop", "what was going on", "session summary", "catch me up", "session-recap".
-
kazdenc Skill InterviewGenerate user interview scripts, analyze interview transcripts, and extract actionable product insights. Use when user says "create interview guide", "analyze interview", "user research", "interview questions", "research plan", or needs to understand user needs through qualitative research.
-
mangowhoiscloud Skill Wiki SyncIngest GEODE research/knowledge into the mango-wiki Obsidian vault (render + sync).
- mangowhoiscloud Skill Deep Researcher
Evidence-first multi-step research with bounded parallel collection, contradiction checks, and cited synthesis.
- mangowhoiscloud Skill Frontier Harness Research
Research process for comparing frontier harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, autoresearch, Prime Agent) with the original/upstream implementation and performing GAP analysis before feature implementation. Triggered by "research" ("리서치"), "gap", "frontier", "harness", "case study" ("사례 조사"), "pattern exploration" ("패턴 탐색"), "comparative analysis" ("비교 분석") keywords.
