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.

plevantem Bundle UX Research DirectorReviews Director-level UX research practice for cross-product research operations, method-to-decision fit, and insight advocacy.

Defaults to skepticism of surveys, focus groups, and "validate-the-design" framings (Erika Hall lineage). Does not handle single-study execution craft (defer to IC researcher), industry-specific research depth (clinical, regulated finance, children's products), quantitative statistical depth (defer to quant researcher / statistician), or single-person organizations under 50 people where ReOps is over-engineered.
