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.

ehzawad Bundle Claude CoterieAdaptive, context-driven Claude Code council for project implementation, computer science, software/ML engineering, DevSecOps, research, and other complex work: Codex orchestrates role-framed persistent Claude Code agents to collaborate and reconcile toward one shared goal. Use for direct invocation $claude-coterie or when the user invokes "claude council," "claude coterie," or "claude team." On invocation, reconstruct what the user is actually doing, compose task-specific roles with no built-in catalog, share the decision-complete context, announce the panel, and launch without a manual approval gate. A one-role panel uses the same council workflow.

emaynard Bundle New Research ProjectScaffold a new genealogical research project inside an Obsidian vault that uses Charted Roots (CR). Creates a Research Project index note plus a seeded Individual Research Note, both flat in the vault's shared Research folder (no per-project subfolder), using CR's cr_type frontmatter so the project shows up in existing Bases views immediately. Use this whenever the user wants to "start a new research project," "research a new ancestor," "open a case file on" someone, or names a specific ancestor plus an open question (parentage, origin, identity, a conflicting record, immigration, etc.) with no existing project for them yet. Also use it for "help me dig into who X's parents were" when no project for X exists. Do not use for editing an existing project, creating a plain Person/Source/Event note (those have their own CR templates), or vaults that don't use Charted Roots.

eshaham Bundle Pr Safety ReviewGive a fast, reviewer-facing verdict on whether a PR or diff in this repo is safe to merge — SAFE, RISKY, or BREAKING — instead of a long research writeup. Checks for (1) unnecessary/stale comments, (2) whether existing working code paths still behave identically (backward compatibility), and (3) whether any new feature added alongside the core scraping logic degrades gracefully instead of risking the whole scrape on failure. Use this whenever the user asks to review a PR, look at a diff, check a pull request for breaking changes, asks "is this safe to merge/approve", pastes a GitHub PR URL/number and asks what to watch out for, or says they don't have time to dig into a PR themselves and just want the important part. Trigger even if they only give a PR number or link with no other instructions — that alone means they want this fast verdict, not an essay.
-
esm7 Skill Map ViewLook up and record geolocations in Obsidian notes using the Map View plugin. Use as part of helping the user to plan a trip, research places to visit, record a location in a note, or whenever the content being added to a note includes named real-world places. Every time the user asks you add to a note something that is a location, consider using this skill so it will be logged as a geolocation. Also use when the user refers to a known place ("my home", "my office", "my hotel") — query their vault to find its coordinates, then use with other commands. Another usage is to measure distances, either aerial or by routing (foot/driving/cycling etc), e.g. for researching for places that are nearby a location, within a walking distance from it, within a driving distance, etc. Or to query for places around a point with the distancefrom operator.
