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.

garcane Bundle Source IntegritySource-governance rules for factual research. Apply before searching the web, before citing any source, and before presenting a claim as established fact. Enforces a source hierarchy, blocks Reddit and other community-generated platforms as evidence for factual claims unless the user explicitly asks for community sentiment, and detects citation laundering (independent-looking sources that trace back to one anonymous post). Use for history, science, law, medicine, statistics, biography, politics, technical/API facts, product research, company research, and "what happened" questions.

-
wptk Bundle Acars DecodeUse this skill whenever the user wants to decode, interpret, analyze, or understand an ACARS message, VDL Mode 2 (VDLM2) message, CPDLC message, or any aviation datalink message. Triggers include: any mention of 'decode this ACARS', 'what does this message mean', 'interpret this VDL2', 'ACARS message', or when the user pastes raw ACARS/VDL2 text, or any structured aviation datalink output and wants to understand what it says. Also trigger when the user shares output from any ACARS/VDL2 decoder tool. This skill covers ALL ACARS message types. It handles OOOI (out/off/on/in), position reports, weather requests, free text, ATS/CPDLC, departure/arrival, ETA, meteorological, engine data, media advisory, and any other ARINC 620/618 label. It also handles VDL Mode 2 framing metadata from decoder tools. Do NOT use for aircraft ownership research (use aircraft-research skill) or ADS-B position data without an ACARS/datalink message attached.
-
wptk Skill Aircraft ResearchUse this skill whenever the user wants to research aircraft ownership, trace who owns a plane, or investigate the entity behind a tail number / N-number. Triggers include: any mention of 'who owns this plane', 'look up this tail number', 'research this aircraft', 'N-number lookup', or when the user shares ADS-B data, FAA registry screenshots, adsbdb output, or typed registration info and wants to know more about the owner. Also trigger when the user pastes aircraft details (registration, operator, type) from any source and asks about the business, person, or entity behind it. This skill is about going beyond the FAA record, tracing shell LLCs back to real people, finding related businesses, and building an ownership picture. Do NOT use for general aviation trivia, aircraft performance specs, or flight tracking without an ownership research angle.
