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.
-
skillmedev Skill Meeting Notes To ActionsConverts raw meeting notes or transcripts into a four-part record - a 3-5 sentence summary, the decisions actually made, an action table with owner, verb-phrased action, due date, and status, and the open questions - without inventing owners, dates, or tasks. Use when someone pastes notes and asks "pull the action items out of this", "summarize this meeting", "who owns what from this transcript", or "what did we actually decide". Do NOT use for preparing the agenda before a meeting happens - use meeting-agenda instead - or for turning extracted actions into engineering tickets - use jira-ticket-writer instead.
-
skillmedev Skill Jtbd ExtractorExtracts Jobs To Be Done from qualitative research data - job stories in the "When I…, I want to…, so I can…" form, a forces-of-progress map (push, pull, anxiety, habit), and functional, emotional, and social dimensions, each backed by verbatim quotes. Use when someone says "extract the jobs from these interviews", "run a JTBD analysis on this diary study", "why do users switch to or from us", or has transcripts and wants solution-agnostic goals rather than feature requests. Do NOT use for clustering findings into themes across a study - use interview-synthesis instead; for building persona profiles from research, use user-persona; for planning the interviews themselves, use interview-guide-builder.
-
skillmedev Skill Survey DesignerDesigns unbiased surveys - question types, Likert and frequency scales, screener-to-demographics flow, and a cognitive pilot plan - that produce trustworthy quantitative data. Use when someone says "write survey questions about X", "review my survey for bias", "how long should this questionnaire be", or wants to quantify attitudes, behaviors, or satisfaction. Do NOT use for full study design with hypotheses, sampling method, and power analysis - use primary-research instead; for qualitative interview scripts, use interview-guide-builder; for segment profiles built from the results, use user-persona.
-
thecraighewitt Skill Research BriefProduces a one-page research brief on a topic, person, or company — what they do, what matters, what's changed recently, sources. Use when the user asks to research, look into, brief me on, or get context on a specific topic, company, competitor, or person. Pulls from the web, any project context, and recent emails involving the subject.

-
tuminha Bundle Research CriticUse when the user asks to critique, peer-review, appraise, assess the credibility of, or evaluate the methodology, statistics, or bias of a single dental or oral-health research paper. Use for RCTs including split-mouth, cluster, and crossover designs; observational studies; diagnostic accuracy studies; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; animal studies; in-vitro dental studies; abstracts; and preprints. Do not use as the primary skill when the user asks what the body of evidence says or whether to change practice.
-
tuminha Bundle Dental Evidence RetrieverUse when the user needs a structured literature-search workflow for a dental clinical question. Converts a clinical question to PICO, builds search strategies for PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, guideline bodies (EFP, AAP, EAO, ITI, ADA), ClinicalTrials.gov, and PROSPERO, and produces a retrieval log template. Honest about runtime — never fabricates search results when retrieval is not actually possible. Use before clinical-evidence-reviewer when no body of evidence has been gathered yet.
-
tuminha Bundle Clinical Evidence ReviewerUse when the user asks what the body of evidence says about a dental treatment, protocol, or clinical question; asks to compare treatment options (e.g., A vs B); asks whether to change clinical practice; asks for current EFP/AAP/EAO/ITI/ADA guideline status; asks for GRADE certainty across the literature; or asks for evidence-graded decision support. Do not use for single-paper teardown — for single-paper appraisal, use research-critic. This skill is body-of-evidence and outcome-centric.
