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.

crbnos Skill ResearchSurvey how best-in-class ERPs and point solutions implement a feature, and produce a findings file at .ai/research/{slug}.md. Use when designing a new feature, evaluating approaches, or answering "how do competitors / SAP / the industry do X". Required before designing any ERP-domain feature (accounting, costing, tax, inventory valuation, RMA, MRP, etc.). Do not use for UI styling questions (copy an existing Carbon screen instead) or for bugs (use root-cause).

a-v-ershov Bundle Create User FlowsMap how users actually move through the product to get value — the customer journey and the step-by-step flows for each feature, informed by conventional patterns for the category and an adversarial review pass. Use after define-product-requirements (reads product-requirements.research.md) and before design-architecture. Writes a source-cited .dev-skills/project-spec/user-flows.research.md plus a short human summary; an independent reviewer returns findings and the phase applies them in place. The second product-layer step: it describes the experience (WHAT the user does), never the technical HOW and never visual UI design.
-
a-v-ershov Bundle Define Code StyleDefine the project's development style guide once the stack is chosen: how code is organized (module/folder architecture), named, commented and documented, how errors are handled, and how tests are written. For each dimension where the chosen stack offers real alternatives it weighs the top 2–3 idiomatic options with trade-offs and recommends one; everything else inherits the stack's canon with a citation. Use after design-architecture and before design-dev-architecture. Writes a source-cited code-style.research.md, a short human summary, and the distilled code-style.md guide that implement-feature, verify-feature, refactor and write-tests follow on every task.
-
a-v-ershov Bundle Define Product RequirementsTurn a validated idea into the product definition: who it is for, and the full set of features being built — backed by real-world research (comparable products, table-stakes features) and an adversarial review pass. The committed set holds at most 15 features: sub-capabilities fold into the feature they belong to, and whatever does not earn a place is cut into non-goals rather than deferred. Use after validate-idea and before create-user-flows and design-architecture. Writes a source-cited product-requirements.research.md plus a short human summary. Defines the product layer (WHAT and for WHOM) — never the technical HOW, which is design-architecture's.
