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.
-
zjunlp Bundle Rubric Skeleton InductionInduce an instruction-derived scientific goal skeleton from a research task before reading literature, web sources, data details, code, or prior results. Use at the start of AutoSciRub when Codex needs atomic, traceable goals that state what the task should address without prescribing methods or metrics.
-
abijith-suresh Bundle ResearchClones canonical source and reads the actual API before implementing against a framework or library. Use when implementing against unfamiliar APIs or libraries.
-
alexvtejeda Bundle Elenchus StudyUse when the user wants to research or learn a topic before forming a firm opinion — "I want to learn about X", "help me research Y", "gather a reading list / resources / a study path on Z", "I'm new to X and want to understand it deeply", "convene a research council on X". The research/study front end over the elenchus-council engine. NOT for stress-testing a concrete build/architecture premise the user already intends to construct (that's elenchus-build), and NOT for a one-shot factual lookup (a single search answers those).
-
wjgoarxiv Skill Autoconference SurveySystematic multi-database literature survey. 3 researchers cover non-overlapping sources (databases, time periods, or methodologies) with citation-chain knowledge transfer. TRIGGER when: user wants a literature survey, systematic review, paper survey, wants to cover multiple databases or time periods. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants to optimize a metric (use autoconference) or read a single paper (use scientific-reading).

-
yuque Skill Smart SummarySummarize a Yuque document or knowledge base at one-line, key-point, or detailed granularity. Use when the user wants a quick overview of a document or repo; trigger phrases include “帮我总结一下这篇文档”, “这个知识库讲了什么”, and “summarize this doc”.
-
yuque Skill Stale DetectorScan a Yuque knowledge base for stale or outdated documents and recommend updates or archiving. Use when the user is cleaning up, maintaining, or periodically reviewing a knowledge base; trigger phrases include “帮我检查哪些文档过期了”, “知识库体检”, and “find stale docs”.
-
nbsp1221 Bundle Idea Validation AutopilotUse when a founder has a rough product idea and wants autonomous deep validation, market and competitor research, and an evidence-based MVP decision with minimal back-and-forth.
-
nbsp1221 Bundle Remote Repository ResearchUse when investigating a repository that is not already available locally and the user needs repository-specific understanding of its structure, implementation, maintenance, or relevant files.
-
oimiragieo Bundle Shrink For ClaudeCall this before reading any file path, URL, or document that could be large. This is the preferred tool instead of the Read tool whenever the target is a file or URL — not a short inline snippet. Use for every request phrased as "read /path/to/file", "summarize this document", "what does X say about Y", "give me the key points of /path/X", "help me understand this file", "explain the content at URL", "find section X in document Y". Compresses source by 60-90% via gotcontext.ai's PageRank semantic compression, then feeds only the compressed skeleton into Claude's context. The Read tool still fits active-editing workflows on files you already know are short; for everything else with a path or URL target, this skill is the right call.

agents-on-rails Skill Aor Kb QuerySearch your evidence-graded knowledge base (personal or work) and get back only trustworthy claims, each stamped with its trust label. Thin wrapper over the OKF-E kb_query CLI. USE PROACTIVELY, not only on request — BEFORE designing, debugging, or deciding in a domain past sessions may already have paid for (build and release tooling, environment quirks that keep recurring, dependency pinning, past incidents, and per-repo topics named after the repo), query first and re-derive second; the live topic list is kb/index.md. Also fires on "what do we know about X", prior lessons, past findings.
