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.
-
lx050 Bundle Epigraphy Knowledge NetworkTurn located, human-adjudicated epigraphic text and located literature evidence into an auditable knowledge graph of candidate mentions, human-adjudicated assertions and evidence-backed edges, with deterministic timeline, relationship-path and entity queries. Use when Codex must build, verify, query or export a rubbing-derived knowledge graph without letting OCR, AI proposals, name matches, modern place names, calendar conversions or graph paths become historical facts.
-
lx050 Bundle Research Source AcquisitionResearch Source Acquisition
-
lx050 Bundle Research Literature EvidenceBuild an append-only, auditable path from preregistered literature searches to precisely located evidence candidates while keeping snippets, OCR, AI interpretations, self-attested human review, synthetic fixtures, and unclear rights from becoming academic or public evidence. Use for books, papers, catalogues, webpages, inscriptions, and other research sources when queries, discoveries, failures, editions, carriers, locators, excerpts, conflicts, and review gates must remain reproducible.
-
lx050 Bundle Research Quarantine PromotionSafely assess one already verified quarantine JSON as bounded inert data, using a preregistered exact binding, an exclusive source-verification receipt, same-buffer identity and strict parsing, content-free structure reports, and offline producer verification. Use when research-source-acquisition has preserved an application/json asset in quarantine and a later internal workflow needs an auditable B0 gate before any IIIF, OCR, schema, literature, or knowledge-graph interpretation; do not use for arbitrary JSON, URL following, semantic validation, canonical materialization, academic admission, or public release.
-
lx050 Bundle Research Hypothesis ReflectionReview a ResearchCase v1 after evidence or experiment feedback arrives. Use when a research workflow must detect supporting-versus-challenging evidence conflicts, negative/null/invalid results, dependent evidence, or stalled inquiry; preserve prior hypotheses in a versioned ReflectionMemo; and choose only continue, reroute, rollback, human_review, or stop_unresolved.
-
alexanderop Skill CplanResearch the codebase and create a structured implementation plan. Use when the user says 'plan this', 'create a plan', 'how should we implement', or wants to turn a feature description into a structured implementation plan.
-
alexanderop Skill DeepenEnhance an existing plan with parallel research agents for depth, best practices, and implementation details. Use when the user says 'deepen the plan', 'research more', or when a plan has high-risk dimensions that need more investigation.
-
alexanderop Bundle CompoundDocument a solved problem as reusable institutional knowledge with parallel research. Use when the user says 'document this', 'compound', 'save learnings', or wants to capture a solution for future reference.
-
antiamerican-postponer432 Skill Verify CitationConfirm a paper actually exists (arXiv / Semantic Scholar / OpenAlex) before citing it. Use before writing any new citation into a .tex, .bib, or .md file.
-
astashov Skill KbCapture important architectural decisions, bug patterns, feature designs, or other critical findings into the project knowledge base. Use proactively when significant technical decisions are made, non-obvious bugs are resolved, new subsystems are designed, or important product features are discussed.
-
exiao Skill Journey MappingBuild a customer journey map or experience map and storyboard the key moments: persona and scenario, the stages a user moves through, and per stage their actions, thoughts, emotions, touchpoints, and pain points, ending in prioritized opportunities. Use when someone asks for a journey map, experience map, user journey, service blueprint, 'map the flow', 'where do users drop off', 'storyboard this feature', wants to visualize an end-to-end experience, or needs to find the highest-pain moments in a flow before designing. Pairs with user research and dogfooding to ground the map in evidence.
-
jord0-cmd Skill ForgeProject onboarding and CLAUDE.md generation. Use when: starting work on a new codebase, setting up a project for the first time, creating or updating a project CLAUDE.md, generating module summaries, or when opening a project with no CLAUDE.md file. Forges a complete project knowledge base so Claude understands the codebase from day one.
-
jord0-cmd Skill RecallSearch and retrieve from a persistent knowledge base. Use BEFORE web searches or external research — check what you already know first. Use when: looking up previously researched topics, finding API references, checking what past sessions discovered, or any time you need information that might already be in the knowledge base.
-
nanoagentteam Bundle Ml Paper WritingUse when writing or revising any ML/AI paper (conference or journal) to apply shared writing quality, citation verification, reviewer-aligned checks, and pre-submission gates.
-
ertugrulakben Bundle Cashclaw Lead GeneratorGenerates qualified B2B leads through systematic research, data collection, and scoring. Delivers structured lead lists with contact information and qualification scores.
-
felipecabargas Skill Build User PersonaBuild evidence-backed user personas from research inputs. Creates structured persona documents grounded in evidence, with each attribute clearly labeled as research-validated or inferred. Use this skill when you need personas for an FR, strategy doc, or design brief. Trigger on: "build a persona", "create user personas from this research", "who are our users", "describe our target user", "make a persona for [segment]", or when synthesised research is ready and needs a persona layer.
-
felipecabargas Skill Synthesize User ResearchSynthesize raw user research (interview notes, survey results, support tickets, NPS verbatims) into structured insights: themes, pain points, jobs-to-be-done, and research gaps. Use this skill when you need to make sense of qualitative research data before writing a feature request or building personas. Trigger on: "synthesize my research", "what are the themes in these interviews", "extract insights from this feedback", "summarize what users are saying", "pull out the key themes from this data", or when someone pastes raw research notes.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge PaperBuild the research package — BibTeX citations, related work, evidence matrix, paper outline, reproducibility bundle, and experiment data. Use when the user wants publication materials or a research write-up bundle.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge StartStart or resume a ResearchForge project — explore a research idea or improve a repository with benchmarked experiments. Use when the user wants to begin research, set up ResearchForge, or asks "where was I?" in an existing project.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge PapersSearch arXiv for papers relevant to the project objective and review what was stored. Use when the user wants literature, related work, or asks what papers ResearchForge found.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge AutorunDrive the autonomous research loop round after round — ask the engine which node to expand, plan there, run, read the result, repeat. Use when the user wants to keep improving a repository over many rounds, or wants autorun without an AI API key.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge ResultsSummarize a run's results — ranking, Pareto trade-offs, constraint violations, and rejected experiments — grounded strictly in recorded measurements. Use when the user asks how the experiments went or which variant won.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge LandscapeSynthesize stored papers into a research landscape — grouped directions with evidence claims — and import it for validation. Use after papers are stored, when the user wants directions, themes, or a map of the literature.
-
forger-labs-hq Skill Researchforge HypothesesGenerate testable, evidence-linked hypotheses from the research landscape and import them for validation. Use after the landscape exists, when the user wants hypotheses, experiment ideas, or "what should we try?".
-
huangruiteng Skill Loopx Auto ResearchUse when a LoopX worker is operating an auto-research lane, demo pane, frontier item, evidence packet, promotion/retirement decision, or visible tmux/Codex auto-research rehearsal. Identity must come from the LoopX role profile and quota/frontier packet; this skill only provides role-specific execution checklists, artifact contracts, and stop conditions.
-
i9wa4 Bundle Clarify ConceptsUSE FOR: Clarify concepts before names harden by fixing concrete referents, roles, sequence, candidate terms, and first-use definitions. Use for terminology-heavy design docs, research synthesis, cause-isolation or mitigation plans, naming decisions, and reasoning-order summaries only when concept/referent ambiguity could distort the work. DO NOT USE FOR: ordinary terminology/glossary editing when referents are stable, simple editing, translation-only work, proofreading, generic summarization/research, implementation, or broad content generation.
-
i9wa4 Bundle Technical ResearchUSE FOR: Verifying technical claims, comparing options, and investigating unfamiliar libraries/APIs/tools with cited, confidence-rated evidence. DO NOT USE FOR: implementation, opinion without evidence, or tasks better served by a narrower repo-specific skill (e.g. `data-platform`, `dev-platform-workflow`).
