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.
-
ratacat Bundle Graph ResearcherDeep web research with Graph-of-Thoughts exploration — parallel branching, relevance scoring, knowledge-graph storage, synthesis into themed reports. Use for researching topics, companies, people, or concepts.
-
ratacat Bundle Pm Research MethodologiesManual-only; never auto-load. Use when explicitly named, or for the general research-methodology framework when no dedicated methodology skill fits.
-
researai Bundle Paper OutlineUse when creating, revising, validating, or repairing a research-paper outline before writing; turns experiment evidence into a clear paper idea, scoped claims, method abstraction, evaluation plan, analysis plan, and evidence boundaries without copying run logs into the manuscript.
-
rome-os Skill Design WorkflowTurn a guardian's plain-language automation into a runnable Rome workflow app, in one conversation. Use whenever the guardian wants to build, create, set up, or design an automation or workflow ("every morning summarize my unread emails", "when I save a link, fetch and summarize it", "for each new ticket, look up the customer and draft a reply"). You shape the idea into a short spec, get the guardian's approval, then build and install the workflow yourself — no separate planner or builder.
-
scalably-io Bundle ResearchUse when the user requests research, a deep dive, a compare X vs Y, trend analysis, or any answer that needs multiple web sources with citations. Triggers: research, deep research, deep dive, comprehensive analysis, compare, analyze trends, investigate, find sources on, what's the state of. Not for 1-2-search lookups; use web search directly for those.
-
scalably-io Skill Daily LogExtracts a structured evidence ledger from today's session transcripts (actions, corrections, positive signals, workflow patterns, each tagged with an evidence-strength label) and writes it to ./memory/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md, the input the dream skill consolidates into long-term memory. Use for a daily log, an end-of-day summary, a daily wrap-up, to summarize today's conversations, or a nightly digest. Not for long-term memory consolidation itself: that's the dream skill, which reads this skill's output the next time it runs.
-
langsensei Bundle Scientific MethodHypothesis-driven research — Observation → Decomposition → Cycle (Hypothesis → Prediction → Test → Conclusion) → Synthesis, with structured working files. (Mandatory execution methodology, follow SKILL.md to setup before any other tool calls)

-
marco-souza Skill Git Commit FormatterFormat and write git commit messages using a structured type-based format (fea, fix, ref, ai, oth). Use when the user asks to commit, stage, create a commit message, or summarize code changes. Do NOT use for merge commits, revert operations, work-in-progress commits, or when user specifies a custom format.

crealwork Bundle Cyrano미팅 전에 상대방이 누구인지 귀에 속삭여주는 리서치 스킬. 비즈니스 미팅 상대의 이메일 주소(또는 그날 캘린더)를 받아, 그 사람과 소속 회사를 웹 전방위로 조사하고 (LinkedIn·뉴스·펀딩·소셜, 차단 사이트는 번들된 insane-search로 뚫음) 소스가 인용된 미팅 브리핑을 만들어 설정된 채널로 보낸다. 브리핑엔 인물 프로필, 회사 개요, 최근 시그널(펀딩/채용/출시), 그리고 미팅에서 쓸 앵글/질문이 담긴다. 포터블 — 어떤 AI 에이전트든 설치해서 자기 주인에게 미팅 브리핑을 보낼 수 있다. Korean triggers: 미팅 전 브리핑, 이 사람 누구야, 상대방 리서치해줘, 미팅 준비, 누구랑 미팅하는지, 이 회사 알아봐줘, 오늘 미팅 브리핑, 이메일 주인 조사. English triggers: who am I meeting, pre-meeting brief, research this contact, prep me for my meeting, brief me on this person, look up this company before the call. 단순 웹검색(WebSearch로 충분)엔 발동하지 말 것.
-
yha9806 Bundle Evidence ReviewBuild evidence-controlled literature reviews and gap maps with source-status labels, claim registers, citation-role plans, traceability tables, and overclaim audits. Use when drafting or auditing review papers, thesis literature reviews, scoping reviews, or evidence syntheses where adjacent-domain evidence, candidate records, unpublished work, and unsupported claims must be kept separate.
-
alessioscarfone Skill Mini Sdd GuideAutonomous knowledge base for the mini-SDD framework. Always read this skill when working on a mini-SDD project or when any message mentions mini-SDD, mini-sdd-context, mini-sdd-spec, mini-sdd-plan, mini-sdd-implement, mini-sdd-init-config, context.md, spec.yaml, plan.md, ARTIFACT_MAIN_FOLDER, SPECS_SUBFOLDER, hooks config, or spec-driven development. Do not use for creating context files, writing specs, planning, or implementing features — those have their own skills.
-
alexeyshishin Bundle Memory Bank DefragDefragment and re-actualize a project memory bank (the .assistant/ knowledge base + the project's auto-memory). Reads everything that changed in the repo since the last defrag, finds where the memory bank has gone stale or accumulated amendment-on-amendment "patches", folds the patches into clean current-state docs, closes resolved questions, and updates the auto-memory — then shows a diff for review. Use when the user says "defrag the memory bank", "привести memory bank в порядок", "дефрагментация памяти", "актуализируй .assistant", "причеши базу знаний", or runs /memory-bank-defrag.
-
alexeyshishin Bundle Obsidian Note CriticCritical analysis of Obsidian notes — hybrid search for similar and opposing topics in the knowledge base, identifying contradictions with existing knowledge, reasoned critique of argumentation and coverage completeness. Use this skill whenever the user asks to: critique a note, break it down, find contradictions, check the argumentation, find similar or alternative notes, do a peer review, "what did I miss", "what's missing", "what's wrong", "find the gaps". Also apply it after creating a new note if the user wants to make sure it doesn't conflict with existing knowledge.
-
coinbase Skill Git Repo ManagerInstructions to manage a local cache of GitHub repositories. This would typically done in cases where the user want to perform research/analysis on a repository. Invoke whenever you need to clone a repo that isn't present locally, bring an existing clone up to date, or remove a repo from the cache. This skill handles only the mechanical filesystem/git operations — not research, analysis, or anything about the repo's contents.

-
hams-ollo Skill Pr DescribeDraft a pull request description and a matching changelog entry from a branch's diff, in the target repo's own changelog format, without touching GitHub. Determines the PR's commit range (the current branch against its merge-base with the default branch), surveys what changed, then produces a structured PR body plus a changelog line that references the work item when a .tasks/ system is present. Outputs text and surfaces the gh command to apply it; it never creates or edits a PR itself. Use when the user says "describe this PR", "write the PR body", "draft a pull request", "summarize my branch for a PR", "changelog entry for this branch", or is about to open a PR and wants the description and changelog written for them. Drafts only, safe with or without gh installed.
