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.

-
lqf0624 Bundle Researchstack Submission GateFinal submission-readiness skill for research papers. Use when Codex should decide whether a paper is ready for submission, identify the top rejection risks, check venue fit, find missing evidence or writing gaps, and recommend whether to submit now, delay, or retarget to another conference.
-
lqf0624 Bundle Researchstack Method SynthesisMethod-design skill for computer systems, networking, and AI research. Use when the topic is fixed or prior work already studies a similar problem, but the user needs genuinely different mechanisms, algorithms, interfaces, or system designs rather than another topic suggestion or superficial novelty claim.
