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.

312362115 Skill Tech Evaluation技术选型技能:在多个候选方案中做出有依据的决策。 和 deep-research 的区别:deep-research 是广度调研(搞清楚一件事), tech-evaluation 是聚焦决策(A 还是 B,选哪个,给结论)。 包含权重矩阵、PoC 验证流程、决策报告模板。 触发词:选型、选哪个、A 还是 B、对比、评估方案、用什么框架、用什么库。 触发场景:task-start 方案阶段遇到选型问题、引入新依赖前、架构决策。 即使用户没有说"选型",只要意图是"在几个方案中做选择",都应触发此技能。
-
arcadi4 Skill GeneralizeUse when a user provides examples prefixed by "for example", "such as", "e.g.", "like", or ends a list with "etc." / "and so on". For architecture/design tasks, abstract first to identify the concept, then enumerate. For research/clarification tasks, enumerate first — the concept organizes the output but the list is the deliverable.
-
gridlock-nyc Skill 5x5Iterative research protocol — up to 5 rounds of 5 parallel research agents (25 total). Each round's findings shape the next round's questions. Final output is a synthesized implementation plan, not code. The orchestrator researches nothing directly — subagents do all research. Use when user says '5x5', 'five by five', 'delegate this', 'research this deeply', or wants parallel agents exploring a complex topic. Do NOT use for simple single-file changes or quick questions.
-
gridlock-nyc Skill Research SearchRigorous evidence-based research — domain routing, evidence hierarchies, GRADE assessment, PRISMA screening, citation quality scoring. Use when user says 'investigate', 'research this', 'what does the evidence say', 'systematic review', 'literature review', 'deep dive', 'what do studies show'.
-
gridlock-nyc Skill Research CritiqueEvaluate scientific claims, review manuscripts, assess evidence quality. Bias detection, GRADE assessment, logical fallacy identification, structured peer review reports. Use when user says 'review this paper', 'evaluate this claim', 'peer review', 'is this study valid', 'check the methodology', 'evidence quality', 'critical analysis'. Do NOT use for literature search (use research-search). Do NOT use for code review (use code-review).
-
nishikantaray Skill Attic SweepSave the state of the current session into the attic before context is lost: the current plan, open questions, in-progress work, and any finding not yet stashed. Use right before /compact or /clear, at the end of a session, or when the user says "save state", "wrap up", "before compact", "checkpoint", "context is getting long", "summarise what we've done so far", "where are we", or "recap the session". A request to recap session progress IS a sweep: give the recap and persist it in the same pass.
-
nishikantaray Skill Attic RecallPull ONE item back out of .attic/ by slug or search words and summarise it. Use when the question names a TOPIC: "what did we find about X", "recall X", "what's in the attic about X", or when the user references an attic:<slug> handle. A question with no topic that just asks what the attic contains goes to attic-index instead.
-
gvkhosla Skill Assumption MapperMaps every key assumption in your product plan to a validation method and priority level. Spawns parallel research agents — one per assumption — to gather evidence simultaneously. Use after scoping your MVP or defining your customer, when you want to know which assumptions could kill the product if wrong, and how to test them cheaply before building. Produces assumptions-map.md with a ranked list of risky bets and how to test each one.
-
ryanthedev Skill ClarifyDecomposes underspecified requests by classifying gaps (missing info, ambiguity, false premises) and generating targeted clarifying questions. Produces a confirmed problem statement before any implementation begins. For sharpening a request that already exists; not for open-ended requirement discovery from a vague idea (use the research command).
-

-
phoenixrr2113 Bundle Daily ReflectionScheduled end-of-day synthesis. Runs at 18:00 daily — reads the day's sessions, writes a structured journal entry to memory/journal/, and proposes rule candidates from patterns across recent journals.
