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.
-
sidiangongyuan Bundle Search FirstUse before writing custom code or a research workflow when a maintained library, tool, skill, or proven pattern may already exist. Start with local reuse and targeted evidence; broaden to external research for new dependencies, new mechanisms, or uncertain external facts.
-
sidiangongyuan Bundle Research EvidenceUse when research writing, reviews, rebuttals, or related-work planning needs academic evidence. Searches literature, screens candidate papers, audits novelty and missing work, verifies DOI/BibTeX/reference metadata and citation authenticity, and checks whether sources support the stated claims.
-
alainator Bundle Writing StyleGenerates a WRITING.md file with YAML tokens for prose consistency — voice, tense, forbidden words, citation format, equation format, locked spellings — paired with usage rationale. Use when establishing prose standards, updating style rules, or when user says "WRITING.md", "style guide", "prose standards", "writing tokens", "voice", "style system", or "writing rules". Does NOT write content — generates the style reference only.
-
alainator Bundle Writing ScienceWrites new science files following academic prose standards: third-person voice, present tense for laws, in-universe terminology, consistent equation formatting, citation format. Use when creating new physics, chemistry, biology, or science files, expanding existing science content, or when user says "write", "create", "draft", "formalize", or "derive" in a science context. Does NOT write civilization or narrative content — use /writing-worldbuilding for that.
-
alainator Skill Integrating ResearchMaps a research paper or scientific concept onto the universe's physics, showing the chain from real principle to canon formalization. Use when incorporating a new finding, grounding a concept in real science, or when user says "integrate this paper", "map this onto our physics", "ground this concept", or "formalize this research". Does NOT search for papers — use /researching-papers for that.
-
