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.
-
jinplu Bundle Teamwork ResearchUse when a broad or deep external investigation needs multiple source classes, claim-level evidence synthesis, or contradiction resolution; do not use for a narrow lookup or local code inspection.
-
minitour Skill Review IssueSummarize and triage ontology repo issues for contribution. Use whenever the user wants to review an issue, find good first issues, summarize open issues for an ontology, or understand what an NTR or other issue needs—e.g. "review this issue", "is this a good first issue", "summarize open issues for this ontology", "what does this NTR need". Use for both single-issue review and listing/batching issues.
-
skillmedev Skill Bloodwork ExplainerTranslates common lab panels - CBC, CMP, lipid panel, thyroid, hormones, HbA1c - into plain language, flags values against the lab's own reference ranges, and produces a prioritized question list to bring to a physician. Use when someone asks "what does my bloodwork mean", "is my ALT high", "explain my lipid panel", or "what should I ask my doctor about these results". General wellness education, not medical advice - it flags and explains, never diagnoses or prescribes. Do NOT use to summarize a medical chart or clinical document - use clinical-summary instead; for diet changes motivated by results, hand off to nutrition-planner.
-
raroque Skill Youtube Script WriterWrite a tight, retention-focused YouTube script from a topic, outline, or research brief. Use when the user asks for a video script, wants to turn notes or research into a YouTube video, needs a hook/intro rewritten, or wants to plan a video end-to-end with pacing, visual beats, and CTAs.
-
rlaope Skill SpecialistReverse engineering and mechanism-comparison research — when the docs run out, read the artifact itself and prove how the thing actually works. Use when the user asks "how does <tool> actually do it", says "reverse engineer this", "undocumented behavior", "the docs don't match what happens", or "the docs never mention it"; when a dependency, vendor SDK, legacy system, or external API behaves in ways nobody on the team can explain; when the ask is to compare implementations of the same mechanism across libraries or competitors; when someone says "we've tried everything" about a black-box system; or when the only source of truth is minified bundles, compiled binaries, or network traffic.
-
ryanthedev Bundle Web ResearchRuns parallel multi-angle web research at four depth modes (scan, brief, breadth, deep): a planner grounds the query in local context and plans search dimensions, parallel search agents pull verbatim extracts with source URLs, one dimension always hunts counter-evidence, and synthesis is grounded back in the local project. Use when researching a topic, library, or tool on the web, comparing options or products, surveying a landscape of approaches, or checking current, version-sensitive, or time-sensitive information. Not for: driving or automating a live browser session (use oberskills:browser), academic literature search across arXiv or Semantic Scholar, or questions about the current repo, project, or files already on disk — read those directly.
-

-
zarubinvibe Skill Athena ResearchThin-session capability router. Given a task description OR an explicit skill id, finds the single best local skill via GraphiFy (route-skills.mjs) and Reads only that one SKILL.md to follow it. Most of the ~1450 local skills are hidden from the skill listing (skillOverrides=user-invocable-only) to keep sessions lean — their names/descriptions are NOT in context. Use this whenever you need a capability you don't currently see, or to run a named hidden skill.

Also trigger on phrases like "brainstorm with me", "is this novel", "has anyone done this", "what should I work on", "help me think through this idea", "workshop this question", "stress-test this", "poke holes in this", "new research idea", "re

tomkd555 Bundle Job Change Support転職活動の工程全体の入口となるハブスキル。依頼がどの作業に当たるかを判別し、対応するサブスキル (job-change-profile / job-change-self-analysis / job-change-job-search / job-change-company-research / job-change-fit-assessment / job-change-documents / job-change-exam-prep / job-change-interview-prep)へ振り分ける。個々の作業は本スキルでは行わない。 複数の作業が絡む依頼では推奨順序を示し、中断した工程の続きを判定する。利用者データの置き場所は設定ファイル だけが決め、未設定なら対話で設定ファイルを作るまでサブスキルへ振り分けない。利用者プロファイル (profile.json)については、有無確認と validate_profile.py によるゲート、および誤字・updated_at などの 単一フィールドに閉じた軽微な修正のみを直接担い、初回作成・全面点検・セクション更新のヒアリングは job-change-profile へ委譲する。日本の転職市場を中心に外資系選考にも対応する。 Use when the user works on a job change in Japan (including foreign-affiliated company selection) and the request spans the process as a whole — where to start, what to do next, or several steps at once — and needs an entry point that gatekeeps the configuration and their profile, then routes the request to the right sub-skill. trigger words: 転職, 転職支援, 転職活動, キャリアチェンジ, 転職の進め方, 転職活動の相談, 何から始めればいい, 次に何をすればいい。

tomkd555 Bundle Job Change Fit Assessment転職の応募先候補について、求人票・企業研究・自己分析・時間分析を突き合わせ、7次元(経験の近さ・志向の一致・作業特性の一致・ 条件の適合・文化の適合・報酬の適合・時間の適合)で適合性を評価するサブスキル。 求人票 metrics と企業研究の指標から拘束時間・実質時給を算定し、profile の必須条件を 1対1で判定し、推奨・条件付き推奨・非推奨・判断保留の総合判定を根拠つきで作成する。経験の近さと 志向の一致は別軸で評価し、不足する技術要件は補完に要する期間の段階で示す。すべての判定を evidence に 対応づけ、材料が無い項目は創作せず unknown とする。応募先が決まった段階で、企業研究の後に使う。 job-change-support(hub)から振り分けられて動く。 Use when the user wants to assess how well a target company/job fits them for a job change in Japan — matching a job posting and company research against their profile, self-analysis, and working-time analysis across experience proximity / aspiration alignment / work character / condition / culture / compensation / time dimensions — and needs an evidence-backed recommendation rather than an impression. trigger words: 適合性評価, 適合度, フィット, この会社は自分に合うか, 応募するか判断, 拘束時間, 実質時給, 求人と自分の突き合わせ, 必須条件の充足, 推奨判定, やりたい仕事に近いか, スキルギャップ。
