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.
-
fabioespindula Bundle Read For MeUse when the user sends one or more URLs, asks to read, summarize, explain, triage, or analyze a link, or asks whether a link matters to them. Fetches accessible content, summarizes it, states access/confidence, personalizes relevance from available context, categorizes it, and suggests a non-destructive next action.
-
folsie Bundle Anlogic Needs AnalysisUse when Anlogic FPGA work still needs requirement decomposition, device and resource judgment, interface analysis, module partitioning, timing/data-flow planning, or upstream design direction. This stage must decide when the requirement is clear enough to hand off either to `anlogic-python-signal-pre-research` for a reference timing baseline or to later specialist Anlogic skills.

limerickgds Bundle Double Loop Execution ReviewerA double-loop learning execution review skill. Reviews the execution history after a task is completed and turns it into a concise retrospective, handoff, or improvement memo. Use this whenever a coding, writing, research, planning, debugging, or operational task has just finished; whenever files, commands, tests, or deliverables were produced; whenever the user asks to summarize what was done, review the execution, create a handoff, capture lessons learned, or prepare for the next iteration; and especially when the user needs not only a summary of what happened, but a judgment about whether the original goal, assumptions, success criteria, or working rules should change before the next pass. If there is execution evidence in the conversation, err on the side of using this skill instead of waiting for the user to ask explicitly.
-
limerickgds Bundle Zettelkasten Knowledge GardenerA Zettelkasten-based knowledge gardening skill. Use this whenever users want to organize a knowledge base, 整理知识库, 整理读书笔记, build a second brain, update a personal wiki, turn conversations, reading notes, or project learnings into evergreen notes, MOCs, PARA folders, reusable context packs, or long-term memory assets.

lemonaderrrrr Skill LoopA closed-loop delivery engine that wraps any output-oriented task — define spec, get your approval, then autonomously produce + adversarially self-check and iterate (max 3 rounds), show you only when aligned, and re-loop on your feedback until you're satisfied. Orchestrates the other SOPs (build/write/research/plan/analyze) and the two thinking modes. Default Engineer mode. Offer it proactively when a task is a substantial, multi-step deliverable; the user may also invoke it directly. Saves to outputs/loop/.
-
lemonaderrrrr Skill AnalyzeTurn data, a situation, or a set of options into a structured analysis with a confidence-rated conclusion. Default Engineer mode. Two branches — 🧮 Decision analysis (which path to choose) and 📈 Data analysis (find insight in data). Hands off to the research skill when external data is missing. Saves to outputs/analysis/. Use when the user says "analyze this", "run the numbers", "which of these should I pick", "what does this data say", or invokes the skill.
-
alchemiststudiosdotai Bundle Codebase ResearchThis skill should be used when mapping or researching a codebase to understand its structure, patterns, and architecture. Use when the user asks to "map the codebase", "research how X works", "find all Y patterns", or needs to understand code organization. Produces factual structural maps in memory-bank/research/—no suggestions, no recommendations, just what exists. Uses ast-grep for structural pattern matching.
-
