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.
-
sgaabdu4 Bundle ResearchVerify current repository, vendor API, or library facts before a decision.
-
doodledood Skill ExampleAnalyzes the current project structure and tech stack. Use when asked to explore, understand, or summarize a project. Trigger terms: project overview, analyze codebase, what is this project.
-
imbue-ai Skill Do Something NewUse immediately when the user asks you to do something net-new -- a task you haven't done before, no existing skill or app applies, and getting it right will require nontrivial research, exploration, or experimentation. Routes the request to the right interactive flow. When doing this, give a very short confirmation message to the user's request, then load this immediately before responding further. Your confirmation message shouldn't mention loading the skill. Skip when an applicable skill or app already exists or for pure dev/code-writing work.
-
michaelboeding Skill Debug CouncilResearch-aligned self-consistency for debugging. Spawns independent solver agents that each explore and debug the problem from scratch. Uses majority voting. Based on "Self-Consistency Improves Chain of Thought Reasoning" (Wang et al., 2022). Use for critical bugs, algorithms, or when other approaches have failed.

flowleap-ai Skill Recipe Prior Art SearchComprehensive prior-art / novelty search before filing — natural-language query generation, dual EPO/USPTO patent search, an academic literature sweep, and X/Y/A tagging of the closest hits. Trigger when the user asks to find prior art for an invention, run a novelty search, or check what already exists before filing.
-
flowleap-ai Skill Recipe Academic Literature ReviewMap the gap between published research and filed patents — a scholarly sweep across Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and OpenAlex aligned against a matching patent search, output centered on the published-versus-protected gap rather than a ranked novelty list. Trigger when the user asks for a literature review, a state-of-the-art survey, or a comparison of academic research against patents.

leadupofficial Bundle Leadup API Research BuilderResearch a third-party API before integrating it into a LeadUp project. Gathers official docs, SDK, auth method, rate limits, current pricing, webhooks, env variables, GitHub examples, risks, and a fallback plan, then outputs an integration recommendation. Use when the user says "integrate API", "add Razorpay", "add WhatsApp", "add Gemini", "add DeepSeek", "add OpenAI", "API research", or "check API docs".
-
leadupofficial Bundle Leadup Github Repo ResearcherResearch open-source GitHub repos for code or design inspiration before reusing them in a LeadUp project. Checks license, stars, activity, last commit, stack compatibility, and decides what can be copied, adapted, or used only as inspiration. Use when the user says "use open source repo", "best GitHub repo", "find repo inspiration", "research GitHub examples", or "best design repo".

team-attention Bundle Tech DecisionThis skill should be used when the user asks about "technical decision", "what to use", "A vs B", "comparison analysis", "library selection", "architecture decision", "which one to use", "tradeoffs", "tech selection", "implementation approach", or needs deep analysis for technical decisions. Provides systematic multi-source research and synthesized recommendations.
-
zfinix Skill Web ResearchCurrent or latest information of any kind — API docs, pricing, releases, news, versions — whenever the user asks about "now", "recently", or something you cannot verify from the repo or training data. Assume the user expects up-to-date answers, so check the web rather than answering from stale knowledge. Always prefer web/search and web/extract over raw curl.

imbue-ai Skill Fetch Process ShowFetch data from somewhere (an external service, an API, a third-party source, uploaded data) validating auth, process it, and show it to the user -- the "go get all this stuff, do something to it, and put it in front of me" task. Use when the ask is to retrieve real data or process real data the user uploaded, transform/summarize/classify it, and surface the result.
-
