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.

talesofai Bundle Neta CreativeNeta API creative skill — generate images, videos, songs, and MVs, and deconstruct creative ideas from existing works. Use this skill when the user wants to create or edit images/videos/songs/MVs, or create based on character settings and existing works. Do not use it for feed browsing or tag/category research (those are handled by neta-community and neta-suggest).
-
talesofai Bundle Neta CommunityNeta API community skill — browse interactive feeds, view collection details, like and interact with content, and browse content by tags and characters in a community context. Use this skill when the user wants to “see what people are making”, “scroll the feed”, or “interact with works”. Do not use it for taxonomy/keyword‑level research (handled by neta-suggest) or for generating images/videos/songs (handled by neta-creative).
-
themattberman Skill Google Ads Draft SummarySummarize all pending drafts across accounts. Produces a single prioritized view of what needs review, sorted by impact, risk, and apply order. Surfaces dependency chains, blocked actions, and the optimal implementation sequence. Use before review sessions or when returning to an account after time away.
-
warpdotdev Skill Summarize ChangelogDoes research on competitor's changelogs.
-
zeusln Skill Zeus Research MethodologyThe discipline that turns a hunch into an accepted change in Zeus — or a documented retirement. Load BEFORE proposing a fix for a bug whose cause you have not proven, designing an experiment or feature rollout, deciding whether a hypothesis is confirmed, promoting an experimental setting to default, deprecating/removing a flag or feature, or deciding when to abandon an investigation. Triggers/symptoms - "I think the cause is X", "should this be behind a flag", "can we make this the default now", "is this feature dead, can I delete it", "how do I prove this fix works", "my fix works on my machine", "when do I give up on this bug", "where do Zeus features come from", "hypothesis", "experiment", "root cause", "retire this setting".
-
jdforsythe Skill ResearchRun three parallel research tracks after an approved brainstorm doc: codebase patterns, framework/library docs, and prior solutions from substrate. Writes docs/research/<workflow_id>.md with workflow-doc frontmatter, a Summary block, and one citable section per track. Refuses to start if the brainstorm doc is absent.
-
jdforsythe Skill Plan SynthSynthesize a brainstorm doc and research doc into a slice-decomposed plan doc. Fires when both docs/brainstorms/<workflow_id>.md and docs/research/<workflow_id>.md exist.
-
jeonnoin-alt Skill Whats NextUse when a researcher is stuck, unsure of the next step, feels lost in the middle of a project, or asks any variant of "what should I do next?", "where am I?", "what now?", "I'm stuck" — diagnoses research state and recommends which Eureka skill to invoke next
