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.

voidful Bundle Professor Fit Analyzer 2analyze a professor from google scholar, publication lists, personal websites, lab pages, and field-specific bibliographic databases (e.g., DBLP, PubMed, SSRN, PhilPapers, MathSciNet, arXiv, Scopus) to evaluate research strength, mentoring quality, collaboration network, lab resources, research taxonomy, future directions, applicant fit, outreach emails, and interview strategy. designed for students at all levels — PhD applicants, master's students, and undergraduate researchers (capstone/thesis/independent study) — across all academic disciplines. use when the user wants to assess whether a professor or lab is worth applying to, compare advisors, prepare a cold email, find a thesis or capstone advisor, infer future research openings, or build a structured dossier from public academic evidence.
-
whenpoem Bundle Research Sop 2Run an end-to-end, auditable research workflow from question framing through literature, competing hypotheses, experiment selection, implementation, verification, and claim handoff. Use whenever the user asks to investigate, compare, test, validate, or establish an empirical research claim, including when they do not explicitly call it research. Do not use for a simple factual lookup or a narrowly scoped code change with no research claim.
-
0sxd Skill Research Gate 2Use when writing or editing .py files. Enforces approved-source research before code writes. Trigger: any .py file creation or modification.

Generates a workstream MD that the user fills with their research bundle, then routes to the other skills.
