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.

yogsoth-ai Bundle Evidence Synthesis 2Synthesize multi-source evidence into structured argumentation. Weaves findings from literature, web, and analysis into coherent evidence maps with explicit strength ratings.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle False Gap Filtering 2
Detect false gaps — search failures, already-solved gaps, and inherently unanswerable questions masquerading as research gaps.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Root Cause Drilling 2
Drill from surface symptoms to root causes via 5 Whys, Ishikawa decomposition, and Current Reality Trees. Validates each causal link with literature evidence.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Decision Sensitivity 2
Identify which uncertainties would actually change the research direction decision. Compute EVPI to prioritize uncertainty reduction.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Abstraction Laddering 2
Move between concrete and abstract framings — 3 levels up (Why?) and 3 levels down (How?) to find the most productive research level.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Consequence Following 2
Follow a provocation's logical consequences step by step to extract viable insights and new research directions.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Wickedness Assessment 2
Apply Rittel's 10 criteria to determine if the problem is tame, complex, or wicked, and adjust research strategy accordingly.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Gap Keyword Extraction 2
Extract gap-indicating sentences and phrases from papers/reviews. Identifies linguistic markers of research gaps (e.g., "remains unclear", "has not been explored", "limited understanding").
- yogsoth-ai Skill Question Reformulation 2
Reframe research questions using abstraction laddering, HMW formulation, and Socratic probing. Find the most productive level and framing for investigation.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Deep Insight Paper Search 2
AI-powered paper summary and search. Import of literature-engine/literature-search skill. AI summary level — cite as "AI-extracted" not "paper states".
- yogsoth-ai Skill Deep Insight Web Research 2
Deep web research with full page fetching via Apify. Import of web-browsing/web-research skill. Must fetch full page — no conclusions from previews.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Concept Matrix Construction 2
Build articles × concepts coverage matrix to visualize research landscape and identify empty cells as gap candidates.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Deep Insight Paper Overview 2
Paper metadata and abstract-level overview. Import of literature-engine/literature-overview skill. Abstracts only — no substantive claims without deeper reading.
- yogsoth-ai Skill Deep Insight Paper Research 2
Full-text paper reading via three-pass Keshav method. Import of literature-engine/literature-research skill. Authoritative source for claims about paper content.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Critical Path Identification 2
Identify which input uncertainties contribute most to output uncertainty and compute EVPI for research prioritization.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Dominant Idea Identification 2
Identify dominant paradigms and assumptions constraining thinking in a research field.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Governing Variable Surfacing 2
Apply Argyris framework to identify governing variables — the unstated rules driving behavior in a research field.
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Question Framing 2
Fill a slot-based question-framing schema (PICO, PECO, or SPIDER) from a paper's stated research question. Use this whenever the user wants a paper's research question structured into one of these standard clinical/qualitative-research question frames; this frames what question is being asked, it does not read or evaluate the paper's content otherwise.

sairam0424 Skill Mindforge Research Phase 2Research how to implement a phase (standalone - usually use /mindforge-plan-phase instead)
- yogsoth-ai Bundle Research Question Appraisal 2
Judge a paper's stated research question against the FINER criteria (Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, Relevant) — five independent judgments with justification, evaluating the question itself, not the paper's results. Use this whenever the user wants to know whether a paper is asking a good research question, distinct from whether it answered that question well.
