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.

legioncodeinc Bundle Osint Investigator 2Research a person, build a dossier on someone, vet a business partner, prep for a negotiation, verify what someone told you, or brief yourself before a meeting with a named individual. Fuses your entire Littlebird record of that person, every message thread, meeting, calendar invite, and screen sighting, into a dated relationship timeline with receipts, then reconciles it against external research. Use it for partner diligence, prospect research, negotiation prep, and claim verification. Not for employment screening.
-
legioncodeinc Bundle Research Synthesizer 2Research a topic and get the delta, not another wall of reading. Trigger on 'research this topic', 'what do I already know about', 'catch me up on', 'synthesize what I have read', 'is what I think about this still true', 'deep dive on a topic', 'what did I miss on', 'brief me on'. Pulls what the user has already encountered on screen and in messages about the topic, layers a fresh external sweep over it, and returns a synthesis split into what they already had, what is new since then, where the sources disagree, what they appear to believe based on what they actually said, and what is still open. Every external claim carries a URL. Optional recurring mode watches a standing topic and reports only what is new.
