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.

pengqianhan Bundle Travel PlannerUniversal travel planning skill for multi-day road trips and city-hopping itineraries anywhere in the world. Use this whenever someone wants to plan a trip to any country or city, find accommodation (Airbnb or hotels) with real-time availability checking, build a day-by-day itinerary, research and book tours or activities, or get a complete clickable travel guide they can use to book everything. Triggers on any travel planning request such as "help me plan a trip to Japan", "road trip in Europe", "weekend in Sydney", "best things to do in Iceland", "find me an Airbnb in Barcelona", or Chinese requests like planning trips to Thailand, Japan, Australia, etc. Even if the user just describes destinations without asking explicitly for a plan, use this skill. Has deep built-in knowledge for New Zealand Northland (references/nz-northland.md) and accumulates examples from past plans.
-
pengqianhan Bundle Nz Phd Supervisor ListBuild and maintain a source-grounded shortlist of New Zealand PhD supervisors, combining official university profile details, research-fit signals, supervision accreditation where available, and clearly labelled student-submitted mentoring anecdotes.

tobyilee Skill Web ResearchSearch the general web (blogs, articles, official docs, tutorials) for topic-relevant content and compile findings with full citations.

-
tobyilee Skill Book PlanningDesign the overall book structure — title candidates, characteristics, chapter list with main content per chapter, and narrative arc. Use when turning research into a writing plan, drafting a book outline, planning chapter sequence, or revising a book plan based on review feedback. Triggers on "저술 계획", "책 아웃라인", "챕터 구성", "book outline".
-
tobyilee Skill Paper ResearchSearch academic sources (arXiv, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, ACM, IEEE) for research papers and extract theoretical foundations, methods, empirical findings, and citation-worthy claims. Use when the user asks for "논문 리서치", "학술 자료", "arXiv에서 찾아줘", "papers on", or when a book/article needs rigorous academic backing.
-
tobyilee Skill Community ResearchMine developer/practitioner communities (Reddit, Hacker News, StackOverflow, GitHub Discussions, OKKY, velog, 네이버 카페) for real-world pain points, debates, and field-tested heuristics. Use when the user asks for "커뮤니티 의견", "실무자 목소리", "Reddit·HN 뒤져줘", "현장 경험담 모아줘", or when a book needs authentic pain-point material for chapter openings.
-
tobyilee Skill Research CoordinationCoordinate parallel research agents (web, paper, community) and synthesize findings into a unified reference document. Use when collecting background material for a book, whitepaper, or deep-dive article — triggers on "리서치 조율", "여러 소스에서 자료 모아줘", "reference 문서 만들어줘" style requests. De-duplicates, groups by theme, flags conflicts, preserves citations.
-
vinta Skill Best PracticesUse when about to choose, configure, or refine a tool, library, config format, API pattern, or project setup, or before proposing a design of your own — research current guidance, pitfalls, and prior art first; already knowing an approach, or assuming no prior art exists, is not an exemption. Also use when the user asks about best practices, gotchas, or recommended patterns

brianbolze Skill Drift SweepCatch drift after a change to the web-research engine. Run it once you've edited a contract, script, or doc and want to know what went stale: the deterministic gate (linters + tests + checks) first, then a quick doc-staleness pass scoped to what changed. Trigger on "/drift-sweep", "sweep for drift", "check the repo for staleness", "did my change break any pointers/docs", "drift check after my edits". An explicit maintenance verb for THIS engine — not for capturing or querying companies, and it never auto-fixes (it proposes). Use after engine edits; skip for company captures/queries.
-
brianbolze Skill Deepen OfferingsRe-capture one company to make its offerings.md roster comprehensive — drive it to "complete at the indexed level" across ALL product lines, pulling in any line or subdomain a prior run left out of scope. Use when a roster looks incomplete: "deepen offerings for X", "enumerate more of X's catalog", "/deepen-offerings henrymeds", "make X's offerings comprehensive", "X's roster is missing SKUs". Takes any company form (slug / domain / name). A focused preset of research-company; it spends Firecrawl.

dennisonbertram Skill Research SpikeTime-boxed research before adopting a library, API, architecture, or provider.
