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.

nishilbhave Bundle Youtube ClaimsClaim inventory tool for YouTube videos. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "what claims does this video make", "list every claim", "show me the evidence", "fact-check material", "extract the testable claims", "what does this person assert", or wants a research- grade timeline of every concrete and vague claim, every piece of evidence cited, and every pitch made — with timestamps and verbatim quotes for each. V1 is inventory-only; it does not verify the claims against external sources. Useful for researchers, journalists, skeptics, and anyone preparing to evaluate a creator's substance. Saves the full inventory to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.
-
nishilbhave Bundle Youtube SummaryFast neutral summary tool for YouTube videos — no verdict, no judgment. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "summarize this video", "tl;dr", "what does this video cover", "what's actually in this video", "give me the gist", "what does this say", "what's in here", or wants a 30-second read of what was actually said. Returns a 3–4 sentence TL;DR, a section-by-section breakdown with timestamps, top takeaways as bullets, and skippable-section markers so the reader can fast-forward past pitches and outros. Factual and neutral — never recommends watching or skipping. For a watch/skip recommendation use `youtube-verdict` instead. Saves the full summary to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.

ou-gc Skill Paper ReaderUse this skill whenever the user asks about research papers, academic literature, technical concepts from papers, method explanations, related work comparisons, or anything involving reading, summarizing, or discussing scientific/engineering publications, especially in robotics, vision-language-action (VLA) models, computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. Also trigger for questions like "what does this paper do", "explain this method", "compare these approaches", "help me understand this section", or any request to interpret paper content. The user prefers concrete, direct explanations that anchor abstract concepts with analogies or concrete examples. Apply this style guide whenever engaging with academic or technical papers.
-
ou-gc Skill Science ConfirmerEnforce evidence-based, search-verified responses for any claim that should rest on scientific evidence rather than recall. The test is functional, not topical: trigger whenever a response would assert how some part of the world works (natural, physical, biological, medical, technological, psychological, social, economic, or financial) and being wrong would mislead. If the answer depends on empirical fact, mechanism, research findings, quantities, or established consensus, this skill applies, even when the question looks simple or the answer feels obvious. Covered domains include but are not limited to physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, neuroscience, CS theory, engineering, astronomy, ecology, nutrition, psychology, economics, sociology, and finance. Treat this list as examples, not boundaries. Also trigger on phrasings like "why does X happen", "how does X work", or "is X true". When in doubt, trigger.

jabref Skill Cr ReviewReview GitBook change requests from Claude Code by calling the GitBook REST API directly with curl (no CLI) — the reviewer-side companion to cr-create (the authoring side over the same API). Discover the change requests that need review (filter by who opened them, by space, or across a whole org), get the GitBook app link to review the diff, summarize what actually changed in a CR, then leave comments and optionally submit a review verdict (approve / request changes). Use this whenever someone wants to review docs change requests over the raw API (curl/HTTP), asks "what CRs are open / waiting on me / opened by <person>", "show me the change requests in <space>/<org>", "summarize what changed in this CR", "review this change request", "leave a comment on a CR", or "approve / request changes on a CR". For the authoring side (create a CR, push content, request reviewers, fix comments) over the API, use cr-create instead.
