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.
-
florianbruniaux Bundle Youtube ResearchSearch and compare the local yt-insights YouTube corpus with source-backed passages, timestamps, channels, and video metadata. Use for trouve dans mon corpus, cherche cette citation, compare ces chaines, or find the source video. Do not use to download videos or modify the corpus.
-
superclaude-org Skill Deep ResearchActivate deep research mode for systematic investigation. Use when the user asks to research, investigate, explore, or needs current information with citations.

erickramirezau Bundle Youtube Idea FinderFinds YouTube videos that are "overperforming" for their channel size — high view counts from small/under-the-radar channels — for a given topic or search term. Use this whenever the user wants to find hidden-gem, underrated, or viral-outlier YouTube videos in a niche; wants examples of small creators who "went viral" or beat the algorithm on a specific topic; is scouting a niche for content strategy, competitor research, or collaboration ideas; or asks to search YouTube and filter results by view count, subscriber count, or a views-to-subscribers ratio. Trigger even if the user doesn't use the words "ratio" or "subscribers" explicitly — phrases like "find me small channels that blew up talking about X" or "what videos are punching above their weight for [topic]" describe the same task.
-
latentcast Bundle Enrich ContactsFind recent, dated, sourced signals for contacts you already have, and turn each one into an opening angle: how your offer connects to what just happened at their company. Optionally writes the personalization copy for each step of an email sequence. Takes the output of find-contacts unchanged. Use when you have people and need a reason to reach out, when a contact list has no talking points, or when asked to enrich contacts, find trigger events, research signals, or write personalization for a sequence.
-
lucasksjang Skill Prospect ResearchPre-meeting research on a person or company, producing a short, skimmable briefing note in a fixed format. Use before a sales, partnership, recruiting, or BD meeting — whenever someone gives a name, a company, or a list (often pasted from a calendar) and wants the counterpart researched beforehand. Triggers on "research this person/company", "prep me for this meeting", "who am I meeting", or a pasted attendee list.
-
4xiaxia Skill Xiaxia Context CompressionUse when Xiaxia needs conversation compression, memory summaries, mainline extraction, cost-saving context cleanup, project milestone summaries, Mermaid maps, or task-card structuring. Triggers on "compress context", "save route", "summarize", "主线报告", "压缩上下文", "Mermaid图", "任务卡片", or when conversation exceeds 20 turns.
-
david-saeteros Bundle Weekly Research DigestProduces a curated weekly research digest tailored to a researcher's profile — covering papers, tools, industry news, and ecosystem moves across their active research areas. Use this skill whenever the user asks for their weekly digest, says things like "qué hay esta semana", "make my weekly digest", "research roundup", "weekly update", "novedades", "what dropped this week", or any variation indicating they want a curated summary of recent developments in their field. Also trigger when the user asks to "run the digest" or "do the digest". Requires the user to have configured a PROFILE.md (see references/profile-template.md).
-
moonweave-research Bundle Contradiction FinderProactively detects contradictions between claims across a set of papers. Invoke when the user wants to find conflicts in a research area, asks 'do these papers agree?', 'what's the debate around X?', 'find contradictions in my literature set', provides a list of DOIs or a search query for conflict analysis, or is writing a literature review and wants to identify contested claims. Do NOT invoke for summarizing papers, finding papers on a topic (use arxiv-monitor), or verifying a single citation (use ref-verify).
-
chiroro-jr Bundle SourcererSource-first research for libraries, frameworks, packages, and GitHub repositories. Use when answering questions about how a dependency works, how to use an API, where behavior is implemented, why something changed, or when comparing open-source repos. Searches persistent local clones in `~/.sourcerer/repos`, clones missing GitHub repos there, answers from source/docs/tests/examples with immutable GitHub permalinks, uses git history/PRs/issues for context, and falls back to ctx7/find-docs only when no usable reference repo exists.
-
finos Bundle KbManages the Morphir knowledge base under kb/ — OKF bundles and concept documents. Use when adding content to a bundle, creating a new bundle, checking the knowledge base for conformance or provenance drift, building or querying its SQLite index, managing intent through its lifecycle, recording or reading architectural decisions as Decision Records, or navigating, searching and listing its bundles, concepts and links.

phuryn Bundle Codex IdeationUse OpenAI Codex CLI as a peer collaboration partner — same standing as Claude, not a one-shot tool. Bring Codex in EARLY (ideation, framing decisions, stuck moments), not only for late peer-review. Hand it strategic context (target, research, draft, reasoning), iterate conversationally over ~3-8 turns, converge before surfacing to the human. Invoke when the user says "check / iterate / ideate with Codex" or "ask Codex" — and proactively when stuck between two reasonable framings, pressure-testing a load-bearing claim or structure, or about to ask the human to pick between options two agents could resolve.

Use when the user says "update wiki", "sync project", "save this", "capture this", "store this research", "set up my wiki", "create a wiki", "set up a wiki for this project", or wants to distill knowledge from a project, conversation, or research session, or to adopt an existing folder of notes as a wiki. When a session produced durable knowledge worth keeping, offer once at a natural wrap-up — never per-turn.
