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.
-
okooo5km Bundle ChatwootUse the official Chatwoot CLI to inspect and operate Chatwoot conversations, messages, contacts, inboxes, labels, teams, help center articles, webhooks, reports, and raw Application API paths. Use when Codex needs to call Chatwoot APIs, work with a self-hosted Chatwoot domain, fetch customer feedback, summarize recent conversations, send replies or private notes, assign/label/close conversations, or guide a user through installing and authenticating the Chatwoot CLI.

onblueroses Bundle Research VizBuild visual artifacts that explain: hand-authored theme-adaptive SVG diagrams for docs, notebooks and READMEs, and interactive localhost viewers for tensors, activations, attention and KV caches. Auto-trigger on: 'diagram this', 'draw how X works', 'architecture picture', 'visualize a tensor', 'attention map'. For plotting data as charts use dataviz instead.

redwoodmeridian Bundle Competitor Ad TeardownUse when the user wants to see, analyze, or learn from competitors' ads — Facebook/Instagram or Google. Triggers include "what are my competitors running", "show me competitor ads", "what's working for [firm]", "analyze their creative", "what ads should I steal/beat", "teardown", or any competitor creative research. Produces a structured teardown of hooks, angles, offers, CTAs, formats, and proven winners that feeds the ad-creative-studio skill. Requires ranql-recon.

richard-kim-79 Skill FigureGenerates complete, runnable visualization code for research figures. Produces matplotlib/seaborn Python scripts for quantitative data and Mermaid diagrams for conceptual relationships, workflows, and taxonomies. Use when the user asks for charts, graphs, visualizations, figures, or diagrams. Produces code only — does not render images directly.
-
richard-kim-79 Skill SynthesisSynthesizes research notes and documents to surface cross-cutting themes, unexpected connections, and high-level insights not visible in individual pieces. Use when the user asks for an overview, thematic analysis, synthesis across notes, or to find patterns in their research collection.
-
richard-kim-79 Skill Wiki SyncOrganizes research notes into a structured wiki knowledge base with wikilinks ([[slug]] syntax), cross-references, and an auto-generated index. Use when the user asks to build a wiki, organize notes into a knowledge base, create an index, or sync notes into a structured format.
-
richard-kim-79 Skill HypothesisGenerates falsifiable, testable research hypotheses from notes, documents, and research content. Use when the user asks to brainstorm hypotheses, generate research questions, identify testable predictions, or discover patterns across their notes. Do NOT use for general Q&A — only when structured hypothesis output is needed.
-
richard-kim-79 Skill ValidationDesigns detailed experimental protocols to validate research hypotheses. Each protocol includes independent variable, dependent variable, controls, sample size with power analysis, timeline, and expected outcome. Use when the user asks to design experiments, plan a study, propose validation methods, or test a specific hypothesis. Works best after hypothesis generation.
-
richard-kim-79 Skill CounterargumentGenerates rigorous devil's advocate critiques from methodological, theoretical, and practical perspectives. Use when the user asks to challenge their own work, find weaknesses, stress-test assumptions, anticipate reviewer objections, or argue against their research claims. Run BEFORE writing a draft for stronger papers.

bgutschke Bundle Repo CatchupReads the commits in the current repository for a date range. Replies with a one-line executive summary and a Date, Owner, Ref, and Description table. Drops bot-authored and merge commits. Groups rows by team, with a CODEOWNERS file present, otherwise by individual contributor. --from and --to each accept an absolute YYYY-MM-DD date, a relative phrase such as "yesterday" or "last week," or a git tag or branch name. When neither is given, defaults to the last seven days. Runs git log inside a delegated subagent, so a large range never floods the conversation. On a GitHub remote with gh authenticated, each row links to its merged pull request, or otherwise to its bare commit. Elsewhere it falls back to a plain hash. When the user types /repo-catchup, use this skill. When the user asks, in plain language, to catch up on this repository, use it too. Example requests: "catch me up on this repo," "what changed here recently," "summarize commits since last week."
